Lost beyond life
In a dark forest of anguish,
Wandering in a vale of despair
There seems very little light anywhere,
It feels like nobody cares
But this is not a game of truth or dare,
This is not a nightmare that I would share,
Lost in the depths of preternatural darkness,
With a dark verdant colourations surrounding me,
Closing in a threatening
To swallow me up without a trace,
I feel as if I am vanishing
To be lost and forgotten for all time.
Grey lands in the eyes of grey men
They can’t see the beauty that states them in the face,
They can’t see the light and rainbow colours
They live sadly in a grey place,
While we frolic in verdant prismic dreams
They miss out on a landscape created of nature’s scene,
I love nature’s creation beyond and above everything.
Crystal images created by the morning frost
Nine of its beauty to me is ever lost,
I see the finesse of the spun webs
How could we live in this world and not feel blessed,
Of nature it’s true I very much obsessed
I see the white coat covering the green grass blades,
Crisp and fresh covering this vale
I could create so many images of such tales,
To not see this would be to me a total fail.
I wish I could give all that people need
I wish I had an endless food basket to feed
Those who are left to starve and go hungry
I wish I the ability to create peace
I wish I had the power to travel to the furthest stars
I wish I had the time to be always where you are
Offering comfort and sharing love
I wish I could enrich everyone I touch
I wish I had the power to save the trees
I wish I could save this planet environmentally
I wish I had the power to save humanity
I wish I had the know how to stop man’s self extinction.
The shit we get
Is the shit we accept,
Chlorinated chicken
What the fuck next,
GMO products already full the shelves
They don’t care one bit,
If it’s detrimental to our health
They lower food standards,
This is to ramp up their profits
And to all prospective trading partners easy access,
To feed us the shit that they produce
And they force us to eat it,
As our wages and living standards are reduced
Polluted fruit and veg grown in polluted soil,
Contaminated by their pesticides
Question them on it and they lie,
Look a little deeper and pry
And ask more questions why?
Why have you lowered food standards?
Why are you importing substandard food?
They can’t answer this
And if they do they take the piss,
Thinking we are as ignorant as them
It’s time for these wrongs and lies to end.
I planted seeds to grow peace
I showed in hope they would bloom with love
I cultivated all the goodness
I waited until the fruits of my labour became ripe
Yet my blooms were assailed by the badness
The toxicity and disease
I tried my best to protect my crop
I tried hard to help them grow
But then I found that the seeds were polluted
And I knew that in the time they’d take to grow
A poison had instilled itself within
And through the sap it then flowed
And because of their corruption I had to walk away and go
As they became twisted and distorted
And started taking over everything
Choking the life out of nature
Soon destroying everything
Until there was nothing left
And no nourishment to find
And so they soon started wilting
Now they started dying
As they brought about their own extinction
There would be nothing in future to be found.
We can do more than hope and dream
We can act more proactively,
Rather than putting trust and faith in others
We can start to begin demanding,
More change in this world
That will bring about more equality,
That will stop the dirty processes that causes viruses and disease,
We can stop the pollution caused by dirty industries,
We can tell them to end war because we want to live in peace
And that we want to preserve our ecology,
And stop the mass extinction of various other species
By demanding changes like these, shows positivity,
So don’t wait for them to have a moment and decide to wake up,
Shout, scream do whatever it needs to change our way of life
And the benefits are great,
But we must remove the objects in our way
Be loud and proud but most of all make sure your voice gets heard,
So that our hopes and change come through because we took action.
It gets harder every day
To justify why people think it’s ok,
To treat the environment this way
As I see the rubbish an litter decay,
People show no care at all,
Throwing and dropping their crap here and there
Dropping and discarding litter, I wouldn’t dare,
Does nature and beauty mean so little to them
Turning our country side and rivers into a cesspit,
Becoming breeding grounds for germs and disease
But mankind is the worst of these things,
Destroying beauty and trashing their home
It’s time to change and you alone,
Can make a difference by taking more care
So we get cleaner, land, sea and air,
We have to do this for the greater good
Take more care of our neighborhoods,
Not because we’re made to but because we should
We need a mass clean up of where we live,
A total way we look at everything
Let’s make that change and stop this lack of care,
Let’s clean out act up to protect this earth we share.
The stewardship of earth is ours
Yet we are negligent in our duties,
By allowing the destruction of nature’s true beauty
Why are standing by as big corporations exploit it’s gifts,
What we require is an environmental paradigm shift
Where we nurture all its resources,
To be bountiful for mankind and all
Where we protect other species and stop being cruel,
This stewardship was bestowed upon us from creation upon high,
So it is our duty to ensure that we don’t let it fade and die.
Back in 1979 we protested all the time
Protesting against war chanting fight wars not not war,
We stood up for CND against the nuclear threat
Fought for animal rights,
And regimes using oppression and might
To make people disappear in the middle of the night,
We fought for the cause mindful of 1984
It seemed a good target to make changes and more,
The pressure helped with nuclear deceleration
By the superpowers,
And helped reduce down our doomsday hour,
We helped to bring about animal rights change
By reducing down the fur trade,
Helped bring about awareness to animal vivesection
We strive for environmental issues,
Standing up for Greenpeace
Even when their ship got sank,
We kept the pressure going
But since those heady days,
Change has slowed down in many ways,
And even the things we fought so hard against
Seem to be back again,
Trump and Putin are building up their arsenal’s,
And the fur trade of shame
Seems to be coming back slowly everyday,
It’s imperative to ramp things up like extinction rebellion is doing,
Get out on the streets and disturbances start brewing,
For government must be put under pressure
And we must keep pushing a lot more,
Especially when it comes to fighting wars not war.
