Nature’s Sentinels
Environmental advice from a re-purposed hag: Stop driving cars. Use a re-usable bag. Cook dinner at home. Adopt children, not pets. Don't use plastic cups. Don't eat tuna caught with nets. Don't toss out food-- it becomes methane gas. Stop shopping for clothes; give consumerism a pass. Wear natural fabrics. Turn off extra lights. Use solar cells. Live the days and sleep the nights.

Earth Days (Re-post)
These people, these lives, these houses, these homes, these hills, these trees, these animals, these rivers, these seas. We are not building an empire, we are destroying one, and every living, breathing thing in it. We are walking catastrophes, entire tsunamis tripping off our tongues, rivers rolling between our lips. Streams of change, ebbing through microplastic in our veins with nets around our necks. Let us be the change we want to see in the world, let us plant trees, climb to the top of them and scream from the top of our lungs for every single thing we are grateful for, let this planet be at the very top of that list. As long as we inhale and exhale every moment; every memory, every molecule on this earth, let us not forget, we belong to it, and not the other way round. There is so much yet we can do, so many lives we can transform, entire continents we can claim and cure. Let us find peace before we are torn to pieces by our very own hands.

This planet does not belong to us
People pacing, cattle station. Racing to, the next location. Jump on a crowded metal tube. To get to work, your office cube. You **** and moan, till you get home. The box for your throne, is land on loan. So set on containment and fitting in. That we neglect our problems, with tonic and gin. We drink to forget, all the things we regret. We sit through each hour just to settle our debts. See, life's not about living, not anymore. It's about finding the time to settle our scores. But time is running faster, than ever before. Its nearly too late, just 12 years to the door. We can't keep up, we thought we were winning. But the reality is that the atmosphere's thinning. It's getting harder to breath it's getting harder to see. Extinction level event, that's all we'll ever be. Each day we're alive is a day the earth's dying. We need to take action, no point sitting here crying. Stop single use plastics, that's the easiest tactic. Stop clearing the forests, stop being dishonest. The point that I'm making, that I'm hoping your taking. Is get out of your head, less the earth gets put to bed.

12 years to save.
a Pulitzer Prize winner tells us in an interview in TIME magazine that a necessary part of our future energy must be nuclear no word about the hazards of nuclear waste the advantages of alternative sustainable and renewable sources of energy or about reducing energy consumption very strange

energy future
I sway in the tree of dreams Far from the ground of harsh realities This freedom comes to mind From a view seldom seen today The peaceful breeze carries me, away in a daydream Into a new world of discovery How refreshing it is to breathe Deep, with no sense to hurry The man-made deadline absent In the nature of time aligned In space this was created To set the centre stage alive This is the place to visit to remind The mind where it ‘set in motion’ The imaginative exploration for tomorrow

The nature of creation
i am leaving soon so forgive me if i speak bluntly but what are we achieving in this country? to think, we hung the moon and stars. i’m stung by the pungent stench of cars. fix the carbon sink or tend to the garden. lend a hand out to those who are starving. Darwin would loathe our progress. i thought old growth was both a blessing and a curse but things only worsen the more we nurse them. clip the wings of a serpent © Matthew Harlovic

Klaatu's Speech in Washington, D.C.
Wayfarer, walk with me down the open, crumbling road. We’re two surviving souls-- billion year old molecules binding our hearts, muscles, bones and nerves winding-- let us go back to the beginning, before the time of sinning, to the start of our creation, before government or nation, to find the garden and lose regarding-- regain our innocence. The sun, rain and wind will test us-- we’ll build shelters of hides and bones, pick berries and sharpen knives with stones, play bone flutes and gut-stringed lutes, and **** nothing without reason and prepare for each change of season. We’ll take our water from the glacial melt. Our fashion will be the furry pelt. Of course, we’ll remember poem and song-- for they were never wrong; art was blameless. It was the only thing “Civilization” left us. We’ll spark fire with pegs and strings whirring, friction, small kindlings into fire; we'll sit round and tell our history-- marvel at our ancestors’ folly, what mystery... We’ll write dramas and dance; we will honor this second chance. English we will remember. And French and Arabic, Latin and Hebrew. We’ll start a new language, or two. We’ll wash and sew condoms from intestines; this time, what we’ll invest in will be sustainability. No need to propagate the earth-- it is fruitful enough already. Only to be in harmony, a place neither above, nor below, others-- the animals and plants, who are our sisters and our brothers.

After the Apocalypse
if it is not possible for you to have a dialogue about whiteness being a mental illness after and during the actuality of slavery pick one of the fields of study within the dissociation of whiteness to keep you occupied until further notice

until further notice
this country America has a lot to learn from those that have survived the making and unmaking of whiteness this existential exponential build up of advocacy for noticing humanity when it steps out of line

learning curve
Every morning I go underneath the Earth I leave the trees behind to walk upon concrete A utopia of green and blue For a dystopia of gray and black Trying to maximize my worth A weekly void to fill Means to survive Off of hands I do not want touching me They have the tightest grip around my throat More is not enough Everything I have I turn over To breathe air that they poison Drinking the water they have polluted I scream and I shake and I cry How can they do this? Why is everyone okay with this? Do we have no say? Blind power I look around me You are all staring at a small screen A device they have handed you You even paid them for it And now it distracts you From the poison they feed you A revolution! Please, I beg Around me blank stares She wore it best, he's dating that ***** Wake up I plead There is no power left of the people Willing wrists To be cuffed
