We come from a galaxy far far away.
It's time for our centenary survey;

We travel across the universe – an exciting cosmic ride.
Observing, learning & listening – the ultimate scout guides;

Oceans & rivers cover 70% of your planets surface.
Essential for your existence – no longer fit for purpose;

Short-term acclaim & fortune for your environmental villains.
One flew over the cuckoo’s nest - planet earth asylum;

Your existence is so fragile – mercury rising, ice shelves falling.
Wake up earthlings no more gas lighting or stonewalling;

Space toes being dipped to observe you’re neighbours.
Once thrived with life, be warned or prepare to meet your makers;    

We will glide by again in another hundred years.
Intelligent advancement - or your species disappeared;

***** on ******* - shrimps on speed;
Crustaceans ingesting raw sewage - now human feed.

Courageous Stowe's sought – to disrupt a mushroom cloud  
Aboard rusty hardy, trawler –  defiant, loud & proud
  
Kaleidoscope colours – dove and olive branch
A non violent mission - to halt an eco avalanche                                            
  
An indigenous Canadian tribe – foresee’s the future
If prophecies materialise – our planet needs healing & nurture

Instilling fear & exposure - the environmental villain
Eyes of fire are watching – the Cree Indian cries “listen !”
  
A friendly Auckland harbour – witnessed ****** & destruction
Concern for Polynesian friends - amidst nuclear  eruption
  
Operation Satanique could  never distract the peaceful ambitions
Arose like the phoenix – forever determined never contrition

Artic sunrise & witness - sisters to protest & protect
No-one has the right to destroy our biodiversity  - reckless & unchecked

Keep people informed - involved & inspired
We need education – empowerment & remain hardwired
  
Corporate greed, indifference & madness is upon us
Warriors remain valiant - united for climate justice

I can't always see you.
I can’t always taste you.
I can't always hear you.
I know you are always there.
I know you are slowly killing me.

Aztec high priests spilled the blood of peasants but never their own;
Sun god appeasement to maintain their elevated status & throne.

The sacrificial alter stone offered Huitzilopochtli human blood & hearts;
A barbaric but quick death, lung disease is slow - fact confirmed on WHO health charts.  

Templo Mayor was the epicentre of these macabre rituals;
Now its our high street, work place, schools and residential.

Climate change is today's human sacrifice;
Modern day Shaman's killing thousands daily - never thinking twice.

Our species require 20,000 daily breaths to remain alive;
We are “reliably" informed don't look up, don't worry - you will survive.

Corporate owners and their families don't inhale this toxic air;
They live far away from the magenta coloured danger zones - so why care.

The path to honest change is concealed with land mines, legal barriers & corruption;
"Happy talk” from politician’s proclaiming to protect us - thus ensuring delays & obstruction.

We are destroying our planet don't be persuaded otherwise or self deny;
Pollution is killing the most vulnerable - urgent action required or millions more will die.

100,000 heart beats daily
20,000 breaths essential
Red blood coursing through our veins.
Skin coverings just different shades

Fears, worries & concern's
Education, work & money
Health for self & loved ones
Let down, disappointment & heart break

Emotional, passionate  & complicated
Daily challenges with vices
Live to long or die to soon
Stupid, trusting & vulnerable

Selfish, callous & nasty
Inconsiderate, uncaring  & hateful
Angry, vicious  & thoughtless
Disruptive, violent & disturbed

Kind, loving & gentle
Generous, warm & considerate
Thoughtful, compassionate & caring
Thankful for all blessings.

We are a complicated evolving species
With a very limited shelf life
We are after all only human
Benson Nov 2020
Toxic people don't change - just change victims
A merry go round of ******* and backbiting- a virtual kicking

Nasty, vicious & hurtful gossip in the shadows
Never having the courage to speak their minds - just cowards

Self loathing and jealously - a disappointing & boring life story
Crab like dragging everyone down - a spiteful potpourri

Ensure other peoples opinion do not become your reality
Your mind needs to be stronger than emotions - not guilty

Happiness is keeping away from these idiots
Life is short so best to keep your distance
