Climate Changed?


winds

Watching current, daily News reports on the flooding that has inundated parts of Alberta Canada, parts of Europe inspired the writing of the following poem:

 Climate Changed?

The ferocity of the storm brewed

The sky stirring ever darker, we knew

The deluge of rain and ice pellets to fall

Will leave their mark of hardship for all

 

The minutes seem to pass like hours

Finally thunderous clouds let loose their showers

Each droplet falling to hit its target with a crushing thud

The ground saturated becoming wet beyond mud

 

The speeding winds’ howling sounded eerily of train whistles

Branches from fallen trees flying like guided missiles

The horrendous damage this vile weather will ultimately inflict

Once the storm finally over, a ruinous sight left to make one sick

 

Many voicing the claim severe climate-change is Man-made

Does little to remedy the loss of all that a Life has saved

What this growing global weather phaenomenon does enlist

Is for humanity to rethink its presence if on Earth, it wishes to exist

Turnkey Tyranny’


Upon viewing the linked video detailing the actions of the NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowdon, I was inspired to compose the following poem in response to the interviewee’s closing statment. 

`Turnkey Tyranny’

What is the price willingly paid

When freedom and liberty is stolen away?

By forces that impose their sanctioned goals,

Regardless of the broader public price toll.

 

Incipient, insidious government surveillance policy

Contrived to impede malicious terrorist atrocity

Purchased by acquiescent public consent

Propagandized as injury or loss to life, to prevent

 

As new generations become calloused to the intrusion

The greater will be `Big Brother’ policy infusion

Global society made impotent through complacency

To potential One World Government’s `turnkey tyranny’.

Unearthly Process’ Reward


unearthly

The start to this new chapter of life,
Fostered through six years of Self-exploration;
Fraught with anguish, anxiety and strife,
Is reaping reward through hope and determination,
To finally see life through a brighter, more fulfilling light.

Birth-passage to this prospective, last phase to this life-journey,
Exerted a toll of deep darkness to be endured,
A conscious test of willingness to be proven worthy,
Of elimination of all burden of hardship; to be finally cured,
By timely power of provenience seemingly unearthly.

What resource of benefit this next era shall yield
Remains unlimited but by self-imposed restriction,
Rending a chance for betterment with vigor and zeal,
To blot-out avenues of negativity and dereliction,
Yielding a positiveness to life, others are able to feel.

NATURE’S SEED


gmo

Parlaying scientific understanding to Nature’s natural birth

Through genetic modification of Seed put to Earth

A wondrous gift given generations of humankind

A gift with potential to be lost for all future time

Humanity is at the threshold to agri-food-corp enslavement

A global phenomenon that seems beyond containment

Impudent, purchased government blindly legislate the prevailing condition

Ignoring the public outcry to deny proliferation and permission

Those to whom greed of wealth arises from this abomination

Deem themselves beyond all natural and legislated laws of Nations

Emboldened with knowledge their food source will always be natural and safe

The potential death of the greater population hinders not its implementation pace

Passage of time will render truth to the offering of this modified genetic fruit

Or, are the altruistic goals of elite and powerful for humanity to become moot

Begging the question: Is the deadly potential of this human experiment needed

Or, is humanity better served by the eons-old method, Earth is naturally seeded?

Soul’s Journey Given


Soul Given

Ghost like, dark mist cloud of evil slither unseen through sky of goodness’ light with sinister deed to ensue, malevolently executing its providence of domain to refute that which is preached to be said, its wonderment of resolve is sanctioned unto the being who sees to this truth of beginning yet not fulfillled by the challenge that doth make known too, its presence unto the seeing Being.

Cloud of goodness that envelopes each living soul being is the challenge to sustain; for within each is the whisper of evil yet contained but, wanting and piercing to be fulfilled in the full goodness of the the glory it seeks to domain.

The harmony of balance is the Soul’s journey given to sustain giving providence of the domain to the goodness of light

Paradox to Existence – The Stroke of Death


d

  

I wrote this contemplation some-time ago but, in the course of readying for a move I came across it and thought to post:

 Paradox to ExistenceThe Stroke of Death

In contemplation of the last and final moment of life,

As the last breath escapes past parted lips,

What thought will consume a brain dying?

Will it be:

  • The sudden flash of life’s long forgotten memories; 
  • the wish for things to have been done differently; 
  • the last taste of a favorite food or drink; or simply, 
  • You just DIE!?

  

Speculation of that final event,

Parallels the speculation to what follows.

 

To experience is to know – then it is too late,

To communicate!

 Another Paradox to Existence.

The Snake


snake

Change in location, major change in life

The outcome of agumented, mental strife

A change brewed with passage of time

And ceaseless conflict with a conflicted mind

Proponents to living in the Now

Don’t often express the guide to How

Leaving to chance just to know When

A life-changing move is easiest to defend

Reflecting upon life’s traveled course

Can be a misleading, information source

The answer may lie with nature of the Snake

Shedding old skin: simply a living trait

Earth’s Largess


sunrise

Morning Sun rises to horizon’s shining glory

Golden rays energy to imbue the day’s story

Full essence of nature composes the coming day

Life for love’s fulfillment makes its ubiquitous play

Earthly bounty given for all to imbibe, to enjoy

Cornucopia of texture, color and sounds to employ

Calming tranquility of crystal-water brooks

Source to feed human senses beyond that spoken in books

Easily is lost awareness to what nature freely brings

Lush flora, fauna, animal cries that sing

Faith given to coldness of technology, running away from the rest

Modern-man has grown to ignore Earth’s largess.

The Watch


thought

Responding to the challenge to write on any topic, using exactly 100 words without using the same word inclusive of articles, excluding the title of the piece, twice: 

This symbol of life lived bequeathed for safekeeping into the future. Its workings represent passing seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years endured until energies expended denote an end charted long before birth.  Tarnished gold casing, cracked crystal measure toil, hardship and pain suffered through life’s enduring past brought forward in rewarding peace.

Grave markers symbolize forever what shall be given to lives remaining as memory’s keeper endowed by material possessions gained, accumulate, box stored, preserved, weathered age’s signs showing.

Cemetery gates’ embrace quells past turbulence beneath soil demarcating Souls’ light risen, body’s deep sleep.
