Rising tides

Activist, Anarchy, buddhism, consciousness, environmentalism, free verse, gaia, inspiration, Lao tzu, Nature, philosophy, poem, poetry, Poets, spirituality

Seas are rising

Icebergs melting,

I ain’t lying

Temperatures are swealtering,

Climate change

In full flow

Only the ignorant don’t know.

We are reaping a harvest

That we have sown,

Over many years

Of industrialisation,

Paying the price now

For greedy exploitation,

One by one

The extinction of

Low lying nations,

Will follow through

Because of global warming,

Ice cap melting,

Rising seas this correlation

Can only be missed by those

Who remain to blind to see,

To locked and wrapped up

In their material greed.

But what you gonna do

When you’re lands start flooding

And you are left with nothing,

Will climate denial still be volalised

Or will truth and reality become realised.

Let’s celebrate saviours day

Activist, Anarchy, buddhism, consciousness, environmentalism, free verse, gaia, inspiration, Lao tzu, Nature, philosophy, poem, poetry, Poets, spirituality

So wrapped in our self importance

Man forgets it’s own existence

Is not something it can sustain alone

We require natures balance

We require other species

You can throw at life your material greed

You can throw you advanced technologies

And if you think that will be enough

You will expose your ignorance and arrogance for all to see

If you doubt what nature and other species

Bring to the table, then you are too blind to see

And you show to the whole world your gross stupidity

Intelligent awakened souls understand the stories of old

That we are not owners but caretakers

Of this earth, is that your mind blown

Did yo really believe you could own this planet

Devoure it’s resources like greedy gannets

Gourging our way to self extinction

Is committing suicide the only destinction

Aan ignorant and flawed affliction

But many of us our now rising

Rebellion against extinction has started prizing

The power and the control from your grip

And will not stop until you face up to it

Nuture nature and change your extinction ways

And build a brighter future and greener more renewable ways

Because we can still celebrate saviours day

The day humanity changed its dirty, exploiting, greedy ways.

Algaes represent an imminent threat

Activist, authors, buddhism, consciousness, environmentalism, feelings, gaia, inspiration, Lao tzu, Nature, philosophy, poem, poetry, Poets, spirituality

Red tides appearing along the coast

Toxic Karenia Brevis is its host,

Coming up from the sea beds

Leaving lots of marine life dead.

Green algae drifting along the Australian coast

El nino is taking a hold

And so Cyanobacteria becomes bold

And kills off fish and harms animals,

All Gods creatures big and small.

Both algaes can be linked to man

But man will never understand,

That the more it disturbs the balance

That nature tries so hard to maintain,

We shall see these toxic algaes

We will continue suffering acid rain

And earth will fight back in attempts to purge us,

While poisoning nature at the same time

Will we reach extinction first,

So that nature will be saved in time

But if we survive but nature dies

Then we will be living on borrowed time,

Algaes can do so much damage we must learn to read the signs

About the clear and present danger,

That travels on the tides

Causing much of the marine life to die.

Angry people

Activist, Anarchy, Authenticity, buddhism, consciousness, feelings, free verse, inspiration, Lao tzu, philosophy, poem, poetry, Poets, spirituality, thoughts

We see the snarling faces

And hear the voices of hatred

Where passion begun

But then anger and ignorance kicked in

The mind just goes blind

To the vicious abuse

And then just seemingly takes over you

Whereas I try yo keep myself centred

I keep myself control

The ough passion I rage

But my anger I know and own

And I keep it in check

Preferring to use intelligence

To get my point over

To make my opinion clear

I don’t use violence

And I don’t use fear

Even against those who think they can smear

Myself, my life or even my name

I just means that I have created a few waves

If telling the truth is provocative

Then just bring it on

Because I am fine with this

And the thuggish aspect of society

Will never get the better of me you see

Because they’re frightened by calmness

Truth and self belief

They have no response to anything

That is unique and well thought out

It’s just other people’s rhetoric that spews forth from their mouths

And they have not a clue

No single idea

Of how to think for themselves

This much is clear

So they are like snarling and b arking vicious dogs on a leash

Who should all be muzzled to allow the rest of us some peace.

Alarmists

Activist, Anarchy, Authenticity, connection, consciousness, environmentalism, free verse, inspiration, Lao tzu, Nature, philosophy, poem, poetry, Poets, spirituality

So people suggest that those who back,

Climate change theories are alarmist,

Do they also deny animal species extintion

Which is happening everyday

Ans this extinction of the fruit bats

Would devestate rainforests

A nd the extinction of bees could see an end to humankind

For earth and nature are a complex balance

Way beyond our ignorant arrogant knowledge

We think we know so much about nature

But myxomatosis proved we dont

We interfere with nature at our own peril

You see human extinction will follow if we ignore the risks

Of listening to climate deniers who call us alarmists

Actually we are just extinction realists.

Where are they now

Activist, Anarchy, buddhism, consciousness, discovery, environmentalism, free verse, inspiration, Lao tzu, Nature, philosophy, poem, poetry, Poets, spirituality

Where are the doubters

The critical questioners

The dreamers

The anarchists

The true idealists

The troublesome activists

The wise men

The fable writers

The romantics

The philosophers

And the realists

Were all their minds rent assunder

By education and teachers

Who sought to produce fodder for the worhouse and a target for the guns

On battlefields built on lies and corruption

Where are the existentialists

And all the nihilists who question everything

Why have we created so many societies that no longer resist

The destruction of humanity through war and environmental chaos

Why have we created societies that seem so riddled with pathos.

A not so funny tale

Activist, Anarchy, buddhism, consciousness, environmentalism, free verse, inspiration, Lao tzu, love, Metaphysics, Nature, poem, poetry, Poets, spirituality

Is it not funny

That fracking corporations

Can break the law with impunity

That huntsmen can hunt with immunity

Is it connected to wealth

But if you march to save the environment

Or for justice or for equal rights in an unfair age

You will feel the full force of the law with all its rage

Now please tell me, don’t you think that its strange

It reflects a society that’s deranged

Police protect the frackers

And turn a blind eye to the hunts

And treat justice and climate protesters like punks

Beatjng them down and arresting them

Treating them as if they are villainous men and women

Rather than the sane voice of humanity

Trying to save life and everything else that exists

That keeps the balance of this planet intact.

New year, new opportunities

Activist, Anarchy, buddhism, connection, consciousness, free verse, inspiration, Lao tzu, love, Metaphysics, philosophy, poem, poetry, Poets, spirituality

Let’s make the upcoming year

A year of happiness without too many tears

Let’s face it with hope and intent

And cast aside hate and dispondance

Let’s go into it loving and respecting ourselves

Instead of hoping to receive that from anybody else

Let’s shine our light and glorify our auras

Cleansed in spirit and opening new doors

That raise our frequencies and energies

And installs within us self belief

That disolves all past and griefs

And sends us spiralling into the new year with positivity

Smiling, laugh, sharing, caring and being happy

Doing our best environmentally and also for humanity

Let’s grow, develop and evolve

Into flawed but amazing sentient beings.

Whaling

Activist, Anarchy, buddhism, consciousness, discovery, environmentalism, feelings, free verse, inspiration, philosophy, poem, poetry, Poets, spirituality, thoughts

The seas team with life

But some exploit it out of sight

And now the time to hunt and kill whales has returned once again

Just as numbers gave got back to their norm

Japan seeks to bring a storm

To start whaling so we must be drawn

To confront and deny them to do this

They already over fish

Boycott their goods if you wish

Let Japan know we won’t accept this.

Seeking love and compassion

Activist, Anarchy, buddhism, connection, consciousness, environmentalism, feelings, free verse, inspiration, love, philosophy, poem, poetry, Poets, spirituality

From poverty in the projects in America

To the same visions in Brazil and its favelas

To the poor living in boats and shanti towns now

I ask you where is the love and the compassion

Where people live scraping out a way just to survive

Where children don’t expect to live a long life

Where food is seen as a luxury item

And where starvation is the cause of so many dying

I ask you where is the love and the compassion

When there are people in many countries begging on the street

Where we have third world societies

In a world of plenty but that is dominated by greed

I ask you where is the love and the compassion please

Why is there so little hope in this world for equality

And people are so obsessed by material things

And the rich exploit the poor for corporate greed

Forcing them to work in dangerous industries

I ask where is the love and the compassion

Where people risk their lives in the name of fashion

And Rio Tinto Zink kills so many in the mines

Delving for gems and diamonds so refined

And corporations hire poachers who are poor and twist their minds

Telling them to kill endangered species is fine

Or telling poor people cutting down the rainforest is designed

To give them a better life in future times

I ask you where is the love and the compassion in those lies

I ask you can we change the world by awakening minds

To see through these ignorant and arrogant times

And find a way to love and equality so we are not resigned

To repeating this lifestyle time after time

Where second best is still better than third world

Where the gap between top and bottom starts to gel

Into a space a lot smaller than it is now

Where people live for what they need instead of for greed

Where enough is a description of plenty

And the love and the compassion is evident for all to see.
