If left unchecked, global change will create violent conflict, torrential storms, shrinking coastlines, and irreversible catastrophe.

Please Sun Can We Have More?
“light is come from sun,
please ask sun
to heat up more energy”
no no that's global warming
my polar bears like an icy dip
my penguins love their icy slide
and when the ice melts at the poles
coastlines world wide are swallowed whole
fertile coastal farm land is swamped by salty sea
where will farmers grow crops food for all humanity
land mass shrinking populations expanding is scary reality
from supercell storms to floods droughts is earth cry don’t let me fry

Of Global Warming And Climate Change
Of Global warming and climate change we read of and hear
The changes in our natural environment gives us reason to fear
Of what does lay ahead for the children of today
We've brought climate change forward by centuries it does seem that way.
The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate
Our polluting of our natural environment not something to celebrate
To combat global warming we've left it a bit late
As a species we may well have sealed our own fate.
The burning of fossil fuels and carbon emissions have gone on for too long
On what causes climate change the experts have never been wrong
What we do to Nature in kind she repay
Global warming a threat to human existence many experts now say.
War and terrorism as a threat to humanity seems little at all
When compared to climate change it's impact seems small
Humans not known to learn from mistakes of the past
We must change our ways and we must change them fast.

Some things are only capable of being done in space. Examples of that are looking at our Earth from that far away, and understanding the entire processes of storms and weather patterns, and oceans, and coastlines.

Solar Maximum
events are happening
on global galactic scale
weather increasingly
more violent storms
solar maximum
is a natural cycle
solar flares flame
kinda hard to tell
when scientists
are telling the truth
beating around the Bush
had over a thousand
scientists in his pocket
stating crisis global warming
a false fantasy does not exist
so no expense carbon tax paid
or reduction in industrial profit
political climate
certainly got hotter
hurricane records
unprecedented judgement
in sharp shift weather patterns
deeming Bush disagreeable

Shrinking Universe
Cast your eye tears on to me
And I'll show you what you really need
Give too much attention
And I'll reflect your imperfections
Can't you see it's over
Because you're the god of a shrinking universe
Purposeless survival
Now there's nothing left to die for
So don't struggle to recognize
Now the cruelly heart-felt suicide
Can't you see it's over
Because you're the god of a shrinking universe
Can't you see it's over
Because you're the god of a shrinking universe

It is truly a privilege to be able to support all women's causes on a global level. It is remarkable that something as simple as television can empower us to create change and awareness in the world.

A Peaceful Harbor
I have rode the high seas,
Through many violent storms.
Tidal waves crashing around
me,
Churning against my vessel.
The more I learn, the better
equipted I am,
To handle the storms of life.
My ship is resting in a peace-
ful harbor,
Returning to sea no more.
My peaceful harbor is you.

Violent Side
Here comes the night
Here comes the anger
Hidden so deep inside
No one can see
Behind these eyes
There walks a stranger
Wandering through the dark
Following me.
Control the violent side
Control the violent side
Control the violent side
Control the violent side.
Electric light
Shining on your block
Sayin to everyone
The power is on
While your alarm
Set up for safety
Keeps out invaders who come
But still cant control.
Control the violent side
Control the violent side
Control the violent side
Control the violent side.
Got to fight to control the violent side
Every day and night
Ive got to fight to control it.

The Storms Of Life
Theres a dirty piece of cardboard
That reads montgomery ward
Taped across the window of my old ford.
A six-pack on the front seat and a box of chicken wings,
Im dialin cross the radio for a song that I can sing
Id better change my wandrin ways,
I know Ive seen my better days,
Always gettin high when I get low.
Well, I left my soul out in the rain,
Lord, what a price Ive had to pay.
The storms of life are washin me away.
An old mail pouch, tobacco sign
Fadin on the barn,
Bringin back sweet memories of mamas farm
When love was just a country girl that lived on down the road.
Spoken: you know, she almost had me turned around,
But that was years ago.
Id better change my wandrin ways,
I know Ive seen my better days,
Always gettin high when I get low.
Well, I left my soul out in the rain,
Lord, what a price Ive had to pay.
The storms of life are washin me away.
Yeah, the storms of life are washin me away.

The Life Blood Of All Earth Life
nature and our planet
are special sacred holy
the life blood of all earth life...
when nature struggles humanity
struggles
when nature dies
humanity dies...
already industrial pollutants
diminish life quality
global warming super cell
unleashes disasters...
catastrophic Arctic ice melts
slow global
ocean currents
sea levels...
rising inundate coastal agriculture
eighty percent
of earth's mega cities
are sentenced will...
be swallowed under salt seas
rewriting destinies of countries
changing the shape of continents
swallowing low lying islands...
eating once familiar coastlines of the world

My friends, there is no Palestinian-Israeli conflict. There is only the global war on terrorism.
It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a scam. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming.

It Pours
If you can shun
The violent lances
Omnipresent, omniscient,
Beneath the eaves
Of your umbrellas
Why can't you
Avoid avoidance?
You care too much
About the rain
And the uninvited mud,
Why don't you revel
With the downpour
Of catastrophe
Inside your bones?

Seeking A Haven
Seeking a haven
through raging
storms
trying to make it
till the morn
Pilot my ship
to restful shores
violent winds
can't touch any
more
Seeking a haven
till the storms
cease
embracing you
lasting peace.

My Global Mind
Theres hunger in africa,
And anger on assembly lines.
At the touch of a button
Im miles away.
I want no connection, just information,
And Im gone.
I feel so helpless,
So I turn my gaze to another place.
My global mind reaches out for the truth.
Why try holding back the wave?
Youll only drown in the changes.
Youve got to learn to let go.
Just let go and experience the flight.
Try to see from a different side..
If balance is the key
Maybe well see
A future understanding,
Then we wont feel so helpless,
An turn away and hide from the change.
My global mind searches for something new.
My global mind zeros in on news.
Time and rules are changing.
Attention span is quickening.
Welcome to the information age.
I feel so helpless,
So I turn my gaze to another place.
My global mind searches for something new.
My global mind zeros in on news.
My global mind reaches out for the truth.
My global mind zeros in on you.
Its searching everywhere,
Across the mountains,
Across the oceans,
Across every man made line.
No boundary gonna keep it from you.

From where I am sitting much of the country now sees the President the way I have seen him since the campaign. He is an ambitious leftist, with little understanding of economics, and with far-reaching goals to create significant and irreversible growth of government and redistribution of wealth through dramatic changes in tax, regulatory, and spending policies.

Well earned punishment.
Double sonnet
Cyclones, Typhoons and Hurricanes.
Storm surges and torrential rains.
Volcanoes, earthquakes and landslides
Dangers threaten from all sides.
Some unexpected thunder storms
Defying the accepted norms.
Lightning strikes fro a clear blue sky
Nobody knows the reason why.
Mother Nature appears to be.
Reminding us quite forcibly
That her patience is running out.
Unless we change there is no doubt.
She will decide the human race
Will disappear without a trace.
Mankind has chosen to ignore
The warnings that they've had before.
Men think they are entitled to
do anything they wish to do.
Their only motivation greed
They are unwilling to concede.
They use up what they can't renew
And aren't prepared to listen to.
Evidence which makes it plain.
They stand to lose more than they gain.
They are so blinded by their greed.
They do not recognise the need.
To change the way they choose to live.
If they do not they won't survive.
