The remedy to save the planet
Water depletes, the earth grows hot,
Trees fall down, pollution fills
And people turn evils in all walks.
To remedy, halve the population.

Natural Disasters
When the earth quacks,
and the forest shakes,
the animals run and cower
But when it's all over the earth
is covered in dead trees and leaves,
We can't help it, its nature wild and crazy.
Where ever we go it will be something.
But pollution is killing it destroying it,
and soon it will be gone,
And people will feel
like they did something wrong,
But there is a solution to the pollution,
It is a challenge that we will all have
to take so be awake and be ready

Go Green
There is so much pollution, garbage, and so much electric use
We need to stop or something bad going happen to planet and us so we all need too
Go green
So let's recycle, reduce and reuse
If we just turn of light when not use,
Turn off water when you brushing your teeth,
Take a shorter shower, and list go on
It can makes a difference
We need to pass this on too other people
So tell your friends, family and other people to help save the earth
Go green
If we just do it
We feel proud, right and great, and for helping saving the earth
If we just ride with less gas for our car by carpooling with friends
Use reuseable bottles, and
Stop throwing away waste food
It can makes big difference
So come on and let's help the earth
If we all come together
It becomes bigger voice
Our planet is suffer so much
Lets help out
Do something nice for once
Pick up garbage, plant trees, use less electric, or
Put waste food in the compose that you can
We can think smart way of going green
We can protect the planet
You can get inspire like I did to
Go green

A Day In The Life Of A Tree
Feel the wind burn through my skin
The pain, the air is killing me
For years my limbs stretched to the sky
A nest for birds to sit and sing
But now my branches suffer
And my leaves dont bear the glow
They did so long ago
One day I was full of life
My sap was rich and I was strong
From seed to tree I grew so tall
Through wind and rain I could not fall
But now my branches suffer
And my leaves dont offer
Poetry to men of song
Trees like me werent meant to live
If all this world can give
Pollution and slow death
Oh lord I lay me down
No lifes left to be found
Theres nothing left for me
Trees like me werent meant to live
If all this earth can give
Is pollution
Trees like me werent meant to live
(oh lord I lay me down)
If all this earth can give
(my branches to the ground)
Is pollution and slow death
(theres nothing left for me)
Oh lord I lay me down
My branches to the ground
Theres nothing left for me

Time is the inventor
.
Time, you are the greatest inventor.
You have invented evils
For every remedy I have found.
Evils demand remedies
And remedies fetch evils.
Time, you are my counter inventer.

Why World Future Looks Grim
Why world future looks so grim
Why having good life could be just a dream
There are sign that end of world is near
We like it or not the doomsday soon or later will be here
As world increases in population
It consumes all the earth natural resources and creates such a disaster pollution
As People living longer and longer
Financial burden will make it impossible to provide them healthcare any longer
So there will be hard decision to make who will die or stay alive
Of course if you have enough money you could survive
Population increase will way surpass our agriculture land
At the time more population will increase food demand
Technology such as computer eventually will create massive layoff
Since computer more and more takes a jobs away from human and let them go off
Human greed and so much desire for materials will bring this world to end
Controlling human greed, world population, clean air, caring for eachother that’s the solution my friend

When the rain drops fall on my head......
When the rain drops fall on my head
Then I feel the greatness of the nature
When the heat on earth vaporized
Then the clouds above makes the rain
When the rain drops fall on my head
Then I see the farmers are full of cheers
When the rain water roll on the ground
Then all the barren lands turns to green
When the rain drops fall on my head
Then I see the rain water runs down the mountains
When the rain water preserved in the built dam
Then there is no poverty on the land
When the rain drops fall on my head
Then I know the God sends it for us
When we do not go against the nature
Then the rain drops fall on the earth for ever

A Misplaced Or Progressive Justice
Great temples are nowhere in the concrete jungle of the town;
Temple sculptures are nowhere in beach statues or park trees;
Peace and beauty are nowhere in noise and pollution by traffics;
Spiritualists or poets are nowhere among fanatics and drunkards!
Are population and pollution by vehicles the progress of town?
Is God proving to be everywhere by vanishing temples in towns?
Can peace and beauty resurrect in the busy towns of progress?
Who can rectify a town full of misplacements in the modern times?
For developing backward classes, opportunities for others are denied;
Even in the court, justice renders judgements based on this method!
Can social justice be attained by punishing generations of other classes?
Is it not just giving opportunities to all poor men in education and jobs?
Justice has become just ice in many judgements pronounced here;
Chasm has widened between classes dividing the society into pieces!
Misplacement of people in all walks of life has deprived efficiency too.
Can this kind of misplacement or progressive justice develop a nation?

Trees are
Treated
To the earth...
Earth was
Suffering
From water...
Sea water was
Keep quite...
Daily
Trees are singing
Rain rain
Come again...
But people

The trees
Rain not come

The New Pollution
She's got cigarette on each arm
She's got the lily-white cavity crazes
She's got a carborator tied to the moon
Pink eyes looking to the food of the ages
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
She's got a hand on a wheel of pain
She can talk to the mangling strangers
She can sleep in a fiery bog
Throwing troubles to the dying embers
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
She's got a paradise camouflage
Like a whip-crack sending me shivers
She's a boat through a strip-mine ocean
Riding low on the drunken rivers
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution

Remembering Adam!
No cure seems to work.
Between absurd and wise,
Lone he walks.
It is a note on the timidness
of a star, which couldn’t come near the earth.
On the slope of a crater, a boulder
stopped it.
No laughter seems to amuse him,
sullen and depressed,
lone he walks.
Genes take a giant leap,
he could not break the fall.
Brick by brick the fort crumbles,
a black halo fills the canvas.
Now carnations will not bloom,
and time will die with the clocks.
Lone he walks.
Duplicity was the word or tragedy,
Transparency got mutilated.
some of the sufferings could not come to the surface.
Both waves and boat collapsed,
Lone he walks.

False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction.

On This Disintegrating Earth
On this disintegrating earth we try to reach answers,
while industry continuously contaminates every thing,
we try to see where everything fits
while no water washes away the dirt,
we half-blinded do not see the real causes.
On this disintegrating earth we try to reach answers
while we live in the pollution of smoke and gas,
as if we already have all the questions
we try to see where everything fits,
and the man in the street is taxed,
is hindered to the excess use of water and electricity.
On this disintegrating earth we try to reach answers
but do not see the skeletons in the cupboard,
not even the rich and famous that are resisting,
we try to see where everything fits
while with time our lives turn into ash,
nothing more can free us from this decay,
on this disintegrating earth we try to reach answers
we try to see where everything fits.

And Laughter Fills The Air
And the people played
Catagory, old, no longer...
No longer workers, no longer...
No longer ones with potential
No longer...
Badmington in the park
Peace Park, Shanghai
And laughter fills the air
And a little boy writes
And a little boy plays
The people are happy
Why, oh why do people hide
Why, oh why do people cry
It is the time, happiness
Happiness among the trees
And the trees are happy
And laughter fills the air
And laughter fills the air.

Portential
Internal combustion engine exhaust noise encroaches on my sleep.
The first punks of principle could've used a dash of turpentine,
wash out their prickly pride there and then before the next generation
came along and left all the lights on.
It's never really dark in London, not outside anyway.
Pollution of every persuasion - noise-pollution, light-pollution,
mind-pollution, pollution-pollution - I just want to puke.
Stick my head under the pillow to escape - unlock my portential.

Every Life Form
Every life form that lives on this Planet serves Nature in some sort of a way
And no life form in truth is vermin despite what some do think or say
Each life form is there for some purpose whatever that purpose may be
For the worth of each individual species ask one with more knowledge of Nature than me
In a World of over six billion people the pressure on Nature's life forms is great
Pollution and destruction of habitat of many life forms have sealed the fate
Removal of trees for development, pollution of air, sea and land
It surely is at our own peril if Nature we don't try to understand
For human pollution of the environment the price for us all huge to pay
More water-ways are being polluted more trees are removed every day
When we disrespect our natural environment disrespect for ourselves we do show
With a huge rise in carbon emissions so little of Nature we know
Every life form that lives on the Planet serves Nature in some sort of a way
And no life form in truth is vermin despite what some do think or say.

Sonnet: Whither Social Justice?
How can I fight the evils that I see,
Afflicting our social fabric for long?
Sometimes, I doubt if there’s an Almighty,
Who is never taken up by this sad song!
How can I help the innocents baited?
Some lives are spoilt in very profound ways!
How can I help the many ill-fated?
Gone is the cheer and loveliness of days.
Where is the fairness in this world at all?
And justice comes when everything is lost;
What is the remedy when people fall?
Insurmountably high appears the cost.
But evil-doers should not get reward!
Where are the righteous ones and where is God?

When Water Fall from the Sky
When water fall from the sky
The heart says something,
Pleasing smell arise from the earth,
And the soul gets restless….
When water fall from the sky
The atmosphere looks so beauty,
Every heart gets attracts…
When water fall from the sky
Beautiful chirpy sounds come from the bird,
And peacocks get mad in joy…
When water fall from the sky….

Turn It Loose
Tom johnston
People all around me
Everywhere I go
I thought I had a grip on things
Now I just dont know
People turn their backs on me
My feet are movin slow
I done time, I been shined
Aint gonna fight no more
Im gonna make it
Im gonna try
Aint no use to sit and cry
Turn it loose; dont hold back
Got to set your spirit free
Turn it loose; listen to me, children
Its the best kind of remedy
Turn it loose; you got the power
Thats the way its got to be
Turn it loose; get on board
Its just for people like you and me
Some friends, they hide it
Keep it deep inside
For the boy its a struggle
Dont you know its a lie
You got to be the real thing
It flows with the tide
You are the person
With the answer inside
Im gonna make it
Im gonna try
Aint no use to hang your head and cry
Turn it loose; dont hold back
Got to set your spirit free
Turn it loose; listen to me, children
Its the best kind of remedy
Turn it loose; you got the power
Thats the way its got to be
Turn it loose; get on board
Its just for people like you and me

The Once Great River
In the once great river pollution is rife
Nowadays it does not support much aquatic life
In a polluted river fresh water fish rare
Pollution can cause extinction of that much we are aware
On the polluted river few water birds to be seen
Most of the river pools covered in algae of green
From sewage and wash of chemical fertilisers that in drains into it does flow
With so called human progress the scourge of pollution does grow
Pollution in it flowing to the distant ocean shore
The once great river is not great anymore
Do not drink of these waters the warning signs say
Pollutiuon is rife in the World of today
And the once great river flows on muddy gray
To the mighty ocean many miles away.
