Reconnection
Reconnection I want to be part of nature. I want my flesh to turn into a tree. I want the fresh oxygen to flow into my lungs. I want to grow out of my fingers and toes. I want my only scars to be from last year’s leaves. I want to change from bright hues to calm tones To symbolize...

Tweets
walking down the street I heard hundreds of tweets So harmonious coming from that tree As if birds were singing just for me Now I talk to them everyday Telling them the happening And Listening to what they say Then,one day when I was away Men came by to take little birdies home out of the way All the little birdies ...

I AM JUST A POET
Somewhere in the deep dark night A child suppresses tears of shame and guilt Her spirit crushed, her innocence torn An Uncle, a family friend Drank greedily from her well of youth His thirst, a vile sickness in the dark. Beneath palms and ancient baobabs A homeless owl’s cry echoes in the wind Lonely, like the hearts of men who...

Deforestation
Deforestation Sore cosmos, maimed nature Silently pouring irate invective On myopic mortals Without a lamp or vista Beauty lost to the beast Pristine lands, barren grounds Green fields, brown meadows Nature mislay, love lost Man's gain, nature's pain Buy the forest, sell it not The Owl mourns its lost cottage The Lion roars in disillusion At the sight of its looted Kingdom Elephants trumpet in hunger...

Biosphere's tropical respiratory rainforests are on the verge of extinction, the exclusive reservoir of biodiversity, the Congo Basin is shrinking rapidly.

Locking in scanty rainfall and a prolonged arid season, tall towering canopies fell down~ecosystem lost balance entirely. Greenhouse emissions omitted approx. 288–247 gigatones of carbon absorption, erosion erased...

Grandfather Tree
I was walking down the neighbourhood, reminiscing how it all used to be where we made believe that we were nymphs in a wood, except the once moist earth was parched, and the once white air was brown... and footpaths and landmass were suddenly under a filter of grey... Here I stop by this grandfather tree, one in my eyes would be older than...

Premium Member A Fictitious Dream
Maybe a simulation only Tsunami tells us the waves Will eventually roar storeys high The endless quarrying tells us One day the mountain rocks start rolling The flood tells us the rivers Will penetrate into the cities like roads Pollution makes the rivers feed on colours Acid rain sheds the leaves bald Deforestation makes the forests thin And animals start shifting Radioactive waste makes...

Meratus In Jeopardy
Mammals cried on the domestic site. They were pursued by homeless shelters. A calamitous plan destroyed the primate. Declaring war creeped on mining wheelers. Deforestation triggered ruins. They left a ministerial threat. Incendiary propaganda mouthed great. The rules crawled havoc with it. State gave them a baleful coat. Nocent chemical found it....

For changing the climate and the weather - Too much industrialization and deforestation! Rampant...
