The magnitude of courage
To overcome
Niagra falls of emotion
The depth of knowledge
From the drought of fountains
Catching alight
The plight of damage
I can feel it coming
In strength and waves
Mother nature’s wrath
Of human greed
It goes from bad to worse
And with my third eye
Awakening
Crying out to the mountains
Where it takes millennia
A delicate stream
Of dedicated equilibrium
The scales have broken
This never ending song
What’s it gonna take
For you to listen and change
Draw breath
From your current influx
Of pace
All these words
Lost to a cause
An environmental minister
Quits
Due to your apathy
And blind state
The urgency needed
Contrasted with your
Negligence
Leaves the animals
Dead
With their blood on your hands
Silent screams
And dead machines
Fumes blare out
Children rage
You bury their dreams
The stars shy away
The other universe
Watches still
And they pray
For us to stop
And listen
Slow down
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
What are you thinking?
It’s coming
The grass is dry
The roots are thirsty
The fire within me
Matches the forest fires
Written now
Counting down the seconds
I hate the wait
I hate the weight
Of what we’re carrying
On our shoulders
The shoulders
Of giants
All lay dead
Next to the ants
Who needs to wear pants?
When we’re naked
Truly bare
And broken
I can’t begin to tell you
Where I’ve been
In the last month
And all I’ve seen in the last five minutes
You’ll see within the next few weeks
Forest Fire
Oh so dire
Catch me on the wire
Pump up another tyre
This planet’s mire
