#greenpeace
As a nature lover I immerse in the greenery I relish the scenery The charm of the hydrangeas spreads The forsythias smoothly toss their heads The lively leaves hum The green grasshoppers delicately jump Hither and thither I seek the mirth I simply adore the earth.

I love this green planet
The force of gravity is smiling at the stars Someday we will join the galactic court Where do we stand right with all the scars? Inventing thoughts never meant to sort Help! The clouds ran away from men's magic Stuck in between the winds and roars Her aching heart blew havoc, nature's logic It's hard for the earthlings, useless crores **** Innocent killers stride through stages Ineffective endangered species on the brink God! Help them stride back to their cages Millions of warning signs, where they blink

Troubled Creation #GreenPeace
The pavement lies along the road. Amongst the swift passing traffic, It remains untrodden except the bird. A foot steps onto the tarmacked mess; A sigh of relief from both parties emerge: Soon the step is gone with the day. She sits again awaiting her prize. Alas she is relieved of her burden; A motorway is drawn across the rolling hills. But what will become of the lonely road? Grit on grit will build anew. Upon the grit, metal would flow. Now the pavement lays no more, Peacefully the traffic rushes along.

Grit
It is said virtue possessed by a sage causes him no misfortune But it is he who must decide between rage or a stoic nature In all of life he sees the destruction cast by man’s emotion The will of another man is how he determines which is greater Would he hang a nun in the town square if it would save a forest? He once could see snow on the mountain tops in the spring And now that he can only see rock he wondered of his desires Was it for mankind or the bounties he received to hear nature sing? If only his will could be released from the evil and the good Then his form would guide his views within the natural state But what has cleaved to him is being torn away while he grieves And the steps he takes can only hear the voices of his fate The aggression of making a life made an orphan of conservation But lives alone in the wild was intended for our own good A revolution cannot begin until it reaches those with something to lose Until then one man will give his life as his mother knew he would

The Stoic Revolution
I will not live my life, Stalking the the perimeter of my cage To every other being such as me This seems like a reasonable fate For you are kept from the terrors and disease ridden world And fed twice a day I was meant to starve sometimes, So that I am thankful everytime I catch my prey I want to travel for miles And watch the sunset from a different mountain top every day. I want my roar to echo in the deepest valleys, only to be answered by absolute silence. Instead of being observed as an act of violence. I cannot continue my life this way, as your placid royal highness When you get down to the core of my being, I am after all- a wild tigress.
