It Makes Me Very Sad
dance ghost dances
for face of planet earth
enters death throes
sad it is species
terminated very sad
humanity plunders
pollutes home earth rapes
Gaia death throes gasps last
industrialized wasted lungs

The Throes Of Love
Lost in the throes of love am I
and don't know how to pray.
Shall I pray for your sweet surrender
or pray that you should stay?
To keep you here and not let you go
sometimes seems too cruel.
But I am so in love with you
that now I play the fool.
For we've shared a life that went too fast,
just like a blink of an eye.
And to keep you here imprisoned
and not allow you to fly
is a fool's dilemma I know.
But love is a strange entrapment.
We hate to let it go.
But to watch your love whose life is hell
is a scene that should not be.
And so the throes of love for anyone
is to pray for eternity.
For death is not an ending.
Never could it be.
It's a temporary separation
that takes you away from me.
Love is stronger than death, my love
and will not break its bond.
I will pray my best on every day
that permeates way beyond
the boundaries of this limited earth
and touches where you are.
I know you'll feel that love my dear
for you're my shining star.

World Called Earth
the ships flee the planet below
as the world rips itself apart
it, s death throes for all to see
the ships flee into space
speeding away from the
dying world behind them
as a world battled amongs
it, s self trying to keep hold
as land sank below ocean
blues
mountains topped from the sky
ground crumbled into depths
as cracks appeared in the earth
a world dying of old age
as ships get far enough away
bring engines to a stop
to watch this world collaspe
finally tear it, s self apart
this world called home
a world called earth

Our Heav'nly Race
Just two, two choices we’ve got on this planet:
life, life and death, death;
life on earth, eternal life in heav’n above,
and death here on earth, eternal death in hell below.
But questions, questions ask we ourselves below:
‘How do we live here on this planet? ’
‘what’s our rewards aft’r death? ’
Death is inevitable gentle young man:
plants die, animals die, we too must die
and sleep in Mr. Death’s grave;
we must die in flesh, not on soul returning to God.
Isaiah holiness, let’s accept
that our death may be our sweet pillow for rest
or we due to second death eternal in hell!

World Leaders Count Civilized Zeroes
in nomadic myth legendary ages
“Vanquished predecessors
once fabricated their footheels
over stony calligraphic structures”
hoards invade ride still from steeps
nomadic pastoral safer age planet breaths
earth before we harnessed razor atoms
learned how to strip deforest continents
indifference melt pristine polar ice caps
before blind greed became repeat earth rapes
conventional nuclear chemical biological wars
button push threatens humanity all species
with horrific global event horizon extinctions
ghost echoes we return again to night themes
while world leaders seemingly count zeroes

They were left
They were left like calves
To graze their masters’ grass
In the pastures of material heaven
The food chain link hoofed and tattooed
They were left like milestones to a distant Rome
As all the roads were closing down
In sad princes’ towers after motes were crashed
Down into a crocodile water
They were left to death dance
Bones rattling to dust
With skin wrapped in macabre hides
Spirit sealed chained they talked to their skulls
They were left to tomb words unspoken graves
An epitaph wordle in Earth tagged names

In The Throes Of Life
In the throes of life,
I rather keep my faith and works when it comes to love;
For we are blind until we find the truth!
In the throes of life,
From glyph to analogous!
But, can you tell me the colour of love?
Nice and freely,
Wet and slippery,
Joyful and lovely,
And from cytology to testosterone!
But i am tempered with the same sense of humanity.

Death, Death And Death
I see the death everyday
Death in relations
Death in religion and faith
Death of man in man
Everyday, everywhere, every moment
Death, death and death.
I experience the death around me
Millions and billions of ceremonies
The smoke on maps of mankind
Death in temple and streets
Death in clubs and parties
Death, death and death.
I foresee the death of humanity
Harassment, discrimination and hatred
Death in purity and sacredness
Death in broken mirrors and home
Death in king, death in masses
Death, death and death.

What Death Is Great?
People who die a Martyr's death are great!
Some people die in wars, fighting their foes;
Some people die for no reason but fate!
Some die all life-time, suffering death-throes!
And some get killed by evil men's designs;
And some die foolishly, by grave mistake;
Some die by road-disasters and in mines!
Some die by poison-taking of own make.
What kind of death is greatest in God's eyes?
The man who dies for sake of God on earth!
The man who dies for cause of Truth and wise!
The man who dies for sake of Heaven's mirth!
Thus, Peter died a cruel death for God,
receiving keys of Heaven as reward!

Earth Day,2008
Save planet earth;
Save earth from man;
Save all species,
Including man!
Man spills the oil
Upon the seas,
And kills the fish,
Birds, ruthlessly!
Man steals the shelf
Of coral reef,
And ruins grounds
Where fishes breed.
Man flattens hills,
Breaks mountains whole,
For granite stones:
So climes vary.
Man warms the earth
In many ways,
And makes the hole
In ozone sky.
Man shifts the weight
On earth’s surface,
By sky-scrapers:
And born are quakes
Man deforests
For farming lands;
Wild beasts come out
To eat his crops.
Man poaches beasts
For skin and bones,
And builds reserves
To save species.
Man sinks bore-wells
For raising crops,
And drought occurs
As trees are cut.
Man pollutes air
And water, soil;
Diseases come
New, unheard of.
Man makes genes too,
And clones some beasts;
But can’t breathe life
To things he makes.
Man kills his own
Through abortions,
And brags he does
For Eugenics.
Man wastes money
And resources,
While people starve
To death, in crowds.
Man spoils Nature
In many ways,
But takes not blame
For blunders made.
Man does most things
In stupid ways,
Quite hazardous
To human race.
Man acts like God
In every field
But cannot ape
The Maker’s feat.
Man boasts with pride
The things he makes;
Not one seems good
Like how God made.
Mother Nature
Has her balance;
Let man align
To her, sweet ways.
No man can beat
The Maker’s feat;
No creature can
Surpass the Lord!
Save planet earth;
Save earth from man;
Save all species,
Including man!

There's A Dot
to begin the line
and there's the line to begin the movement
infinity is but imagined finite
and somewhere in this finite
it builds the sphere
geometry has nothing
nothing to do with either Gaia or meters
unless Gaia is Gaia hyper vision
and I believe it is
and meters are a handy sky rendered
to suit the senses

Planet Earth
Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the tv sound
Youll see Im right some other time
Look now, look all around, theres no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth youre looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth
My head is stuck on something precious
Let me know if youre coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I cant see you
Look now, look all around, theres no sign of life

Punishment
There never really was a place of sanctity
For you, the mortal entity.
You thought you had prosperity,
The while you thrived and were.
Angels don't exist, you see.
You lived without a guarantee
Atop your brutal Earth.
Still, you had a birth.
And whither now, your crying whim -?
Answered by a tearing limb-?
Are you contrite; your valour slim?
And will He care...?
'Tis down to Him.

Spasm Of Earth Pain
poetic lines speak
poet rage in verse
land rape of forest
human inhabitants
now truly achieve
poetic awareness
define nature dying
dire death throes
hear sharp spasm
of deep earth pain
ice shelf cracks
a mile plus deep
effects of an earth
in severe physical
pain temperature
now fever fueled
fossil fuels burnt
view deforestation
cumulative effect
inherent in degrees
measured in earth
melt storm surges
floods unseasonal
temperatures ripe
upheavals loom on
horizons exposed
communicating to
heart mind poetic
hear all children
of one creation:
a poet seeking
to describe the
beauty of stillness
profound nature pulse:
moment perceived
siren embryonic lines
in remnant few moments
of poetic expression:
rudimentary warnings
are exposed reap peace
or reap supercell world wind
planet earth is winded
wind of change is imminent...
get wind of natures’ warning
do not wait, until to late, to see
which way the wind blows...
nature is putting the wind up
humanity, is man not nervous,
fearful enough to heed warning...
an ill wind is blowing blowing
the planet is winded needs rest
something is in the air disaster...
let the planet get her second wind
man has taken the wind out
of natures’ sails calm before storm...
the dooms day clock
is ticking dangerously down
time to wind it up now! ! !

Death of Gaia
Gaia, the mother of earth
Gaia, the mother earth
Gaia, the greek goddess
Gaia, the primordial deity
Daughter of Chaos,
Mother of Uranus
Wife of Uranus
Beloved of the goddess
Mother of mankind
Light of the world
Harbinger of energy
Silent smiling mother
What have we done to you?
We have bound you
We have broken you
We have stripped you
We have ripped you
We have raped you
We have scraped you
You came not to destroy,
But to fulfill
But we fulfilled
Your Destruction

Death-roe
~
stubbled with a wry smile
darkened character lays smudged
a charcoal embrace of humanity
burnt offerings?
run..yes..run
legs no longer capable
touched with a Pharoah's kiss
aorta turns to sand
a glass sun shines
magnifying the illusion
brittle warmth falls
upon Mother's broken back
death throes of a planet
resonate as we rape
visceral spillage erupts
as corporations corrupt
empires come and gone
a self-indulgent throng
consuming it's own swansong
trumpeting in the final furlong
the glass orb shatters
as particle matters
rains down shards
pitter patter
the end of the rape
civilizations agape
skies shine opaque
death throe of the ape

The flower there is for me
The flower there is for me
To water its bud
And give it its bloom
The flower there is for me
To raise it from the mud
And save it from its doom
An immortal bud to make it
A fence of earth to break it

Death and I
When death comes
I’ll need not love –
Consumed,
No wreath or dove
Could offer me salvation,
Not when I’m no more.
A weathered stone will bear my name –
Identity of once a being
Living out existence in
A world of risk, and never seeing
Sense of why we’re here.
My genes will die away thro’ child –
Hue of eyes and hair, the way of thought,
Will quickly dim with generation –
Bow to future dominance –
Memories of provenance
Resigned to curious few.
When death comes
I’ll need not grace
Below; no grieving face
Will call my resurrection,
Not when I’m at ground –
Death and I so bound.
