Until we see the world As a space shared by all living things, Each having a right to exist; As nature intended, In the beginning. Until we see the world As an infinite wonder Through which we wander finitely With a duty to care and share That all living things Might be fruitful and multiply; As nature intended, In the beginning. Until we see the world As our most valued asset To maintain and grow That our children Might thrive and prosper Without fear of disasters, man-made and cataclysmic; As nature intended, In the beginning. Until we see the world As the only world There is Or will ever be; And reform our lives From greed to green... We shall ALL be victims of the worst crime In the history of the world: Ecocide. AYO ~P

Until
I always wanted to plant some trees Wanted to make a habitat for the bees But then some  humans came and destroyed my backyard I was alone and was unable to guard Some of my neighbors tried fixing the doing But instead of cleaning the mess , the smoke started spewing Due to the use of machines the nature was harmed After alot of cleaning the smoke was calmed Took a little hard work but the Homeland was good Could finally see the forests with a nice and pleasant mood

Homeland
Can we take a moment, And realise that only some men look good clean shaved And not our mother nature

Nature
The sky is weeping. As the burning star retreats. To give us some reprieve. At the Lord's calling. The sky is weeping. Tears, sour and rancid. That were once pure and sweet. Because we refused to hear nature's calling. The sun is angry. The poles are splitting. The cold is building; waiting, To freeze the waters that are boiling. We were warned, But we didn't listen. Stubborn, refusing to take action. But nature is done talking. Done, warning lesser beings. For the doom once foretold, Is at the shores of reality. I only hope, its not too late, To do anything.

Nature's Calling
If only we could begin again and slow down the pernicious pace We ruin our oceans, the land, our air even outer space. If only we avoided such precarious paths that may lead to disparity If only we knew what action is needed now, to deal with the reality. Ecologists warned, yet still observe with ever-growing anxiety the growth of harmful long-term effects on Earth's biodiversity. If only the air wasn't gravely polluted, so the atmosphere begins to fail, so wreathed by carbon dioxide layers, extremes to climate may prevail. If only Earth's lungs cease being shrunk by profits heedless exploitation, existing relationships are considered scarcely in these aberrations. If only a solution for discarded synthetics which float in ugly hordes on oceans global drifts, disaster occurs wherever it reaches landfall. If only we can do something, a belated but resounding universal call, If only we can safeguard the future before there are no options at all. If only we could begin again and slow the ruinous pace... if only If Only M C Crowder @scorsby 19th November 2018

If Only
we are not alone. we have the cackling call of the wise old crow and the warbling whistle of the persistent loon, to remind us of that.... we are not alone. we have the magnificent trees, our sisters, limbs outstretched in a forever welcoming hug providing shelter and shade and authentic beauty just because they can, to remind us of that.... we are not alone. we have the near-unbreakable rocks and stones pregnant with resiliency and raw grit, bathed in curious colors from the spark of life; pinks, mauves, apricots, greys and deep brick reds, to remind us of that.... we are not alone we have the playful wind and sky weaving her many moods and contradictions, orchestrating the elements while caressing our skin and kissing our hair never abandoning and always constant, to remind us of that.... we are not alone. we have the vivid green grass full of ***** and willpower, fearlessly embracing its bold freshness and seasonal rebirth, chanting: "live boldly in THIS season in THIS hour in THIS moment because the only constant is change!" to remind us of that.... loneliness is not a place but a perspective. not a feeling but a thought. not a reality but an illusion. nature is our constant comrade showing up every single day of our lives, regardless of the weather - to not only breathe life into us but right along with us. she is us and we are her, as we destroy her, we destroy ourselves as we show her reverence and respect, we show reverence and respect to ourselves, and our Creator. so don’t be a **** happy earth day 2018

It’s Too Hot To Not ‘Be Coolman’ Our Elders are passing, the eldest of our trees have fallen, the Earth is burning up, but our world “leaders” are still stalling, it’s too hot now to not be cool man, the sun is out and there’s no place to find shade, the Devil has been crowned king, I guess this is how atrocities are made, Trump has become president, the Free World is no longer free, see now even when you go out into nature, the National Park system requires you pay a fee, no place to run no place to flee, no solid ground to stand on no water to refresh our roots, so the ground begins to crack the roots begin to dry out, and the Ultimate Light of Knowledge is replaced by shady half-truths, the greediest men have one, and they’re singing the Earth’s death sentence with pen strokes, gag orders and monetary starvation for all environmental organizations, it’s getting hotter every day but instead of putting out the fire the flames are just stoked, this is not a joke, though I wish it was, the Evil is out of control, with an appetite for destruction and a thirst for blood, conquering land and continuing pipelines, substituting ****** impotency with devilish dominance, Keystone as been restarted and Dakota Access is going ahead, as Donald revokes and repeals any and every good thing Obama ever did, the sickness is, spreading, the ignorance is, spreading, dismissing, cultures that were once preserved, and we made this bed of earth we must now sleep 6 feet deep in, because honestly everyone gets what they deserve, sure, we didn’t vote for our “leaders”, but we also have done nothing, except witness as Greed defeats us, Jesus, no Jesus just false prophets, just end it already, in 2016 I voted for a massive Comet, no comment, if you question any of this, because I’m not interested in arguing, with ignorant hypocrites, witnesses, such as our Elders see what we do, and they weep for all of us, but their tears are not felt, their cries are not heard, because if a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? The wind doesn’t blow like it used to, and the sun doesn’t shine the same, and yeah everyone’s wearing a uniform, but honestly this is anything but a game, this is war, and in war everyone loses, please what we really need is unconditional peace, what we really need is what a truce is, but these pleas seem useless, because the eldest of our trees are still falling, the Earth is burning up, but our world “leaders” are still stalling… ∆ Aaron LA Lux ∆

If I were a mermaid, I'd float out to sea. If I were a mermaid, I'd feel bad for me. The oceans are scorching, and we can agree that the death toll is rising, no hyperbole. If I were a mermaid, I'd beg you to see there's no hope for your land if you can't save me. I fear that these issues will ever be plaguing this Earth for eternity.
