RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic Soup

The Path of Life
My journey down the path of life has
seen miracles beyond comprehension
My path has also brought me face to face
with horrors that defy explanation
For every great tree that towers on high
and caresses the ancient sky
Another lies fallen and broken
in spite of the resounding hue and cry.
My path has taken me down rivers and streams
that breathe life into the land’s many fruits
But just beyond the next bend in its journey
the river gives way to waste that poisons its roots
My path could have been richer and fuller
were it not for man’s greed and warring nature
But for whatever reason that was not meant to be
as man persists in contaminating our future
I dream of a world where we live in harmony
And peace and beauty fill the hearts of all
So I will continue to search as my spirit takes flight
For a place far from man’s destructive beck and call

And in return for all these gifts,
You have torn gaping rifts...

In my flesh and in my soul,
Made your mark in yawning holes,
Ravaged me for diamonds and gold,
And now, my fury ever-grows...

From my veins you slowly drudge,
Rivers of vile oozing sludge,
Thinking I'll not hold a grudge,
After all, I am your only judge...

My vengeance flies in splintered wood,
Drowning you all in my tears flood,
Shores awash with the stain of my blood,
Retribution splattered in oily mud...

This Video Goes So Well For Our Cause With Earth 2.0 Posse


If we poets had our druthers we would rather write about things beautiful and inspiring like what you see in this video. But alas it cannot be so easy, for mankind is not perfect like our beautiful Mother Earth is. If not perfection how else could one describe such beauty she gives to us, even with all the destruction we have done to her. Hence we shall write on, filling our pages with the messages to stop what we are doing to her and clean up the mess.
Enjoy the video.......loves ya asha

RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic Soup

I found these poems made in these videos to be shocking and most eye opening. Everyone should watch and listen to these and stand up to fight the system that is responsible for this, including ourselves. We much start at home to fight this and recycle more and refuse to use plastic in any way we can, that is not biodegradable......

Fight, Fight, Fight!!! We must, we have no other choice.....
Thanks for watching and listening......love asha




There are messages every where about this mess in the ocean............
We Are Not the Only Poets Out There For This Cause, Here Just A Few Video Poems About the Oil Spill. I have translated the poem here for you, please take a few moments to use the links and to watch the videos. The oil spill may have been plugged but the battle is far from being over
.


Even after we have finally won this battle and cleaned up all the oil to bring life back to our beautiful ocean and stop the destruction of the helpless life the depends on our oceans to survive, our job is still not concluded. For we still, and forever past our generation will be fighting the battle of the other kind, the endless battle of the oceans;

PLASTIC SOUP!!!!!

Our next, now, and continued battle to survive on this planet after the damage we have wrathed upon our beautiful earth and Her might majestic deep blue oceans.......Please help in whatever way you can to clean up the mess we have made to our home, or forever it will be etched on our tombstones that mankind is the "Rapist of Our Earth". How will we ever be able to erase that title from the references of the future of humankind on this earth.


Here are the words of two other videos, that I found and narrated the words written in the videos for you, only so you could read better, as the words moved a little fast in the original videos. But please do still watch the video.

(Video #1 narration)
Video/Poem BP Oil Spill "She Keeps On Bleeding
"

"She Keeps On Bleeding"

She keeps on bleeding
With non stop pain, and it's
Saddening to see Her open
Wound. I wish I could make
It all go away. I would take
Her Pain if I could. What used
To be home to many species, is
Now a graveyard of their own.

They can't breathe
Or fly away
The are just dying all
Alone.

We don't deserve
This beautiful planet
For all the greet and
Hate we teach.

The death toll is rising
And it's our fault
Dolphins and Turtles
Lie dead on the beach.

The guilty would like
Their life back. After
Everything they have
Done and said.

But who will give these
animals a second
chance?
Who will rise them from
the Dead?

She keeps on bleeding
With non stop pain
And Her blood is on
Their hands.

They will suffer so
much in the end
as karma carries out
Her plans.

But the damage is
Already done
And the sadness is
Overwhelming.

I just hope our
Children can realize
Why our planet is
Worth saving.

Thank you for
Watching and
Sharing this video
.


See this video here as the pictures are worth even more
than these humble words in the video.

(Video #2 narration)
Bp Oil Spill Video/Poem "Sadness in The Ocean"


BP, WE WANT OUR BEACH BACK

"Sadness in The Ocean"

Like a think cloud of
Horror
The oil keeps
Spreading

Throughout the sea
And reaching the land
It's gaining power and
Showing no mercy.

Although the can't
Speak like humans
They are crying out
for help.

Begging for them to
do something
and trying to survive
this slow death.

It's so hard to breathe
in this mess
and the water turns
heaver to swim in.

What have we done
to deserve this
don't we have the
right of living?

Can someone explain
to the children
what is taking so
long?

Why are birds and
fishes being killed?
Why is nothing being
done?

There was once an
ocean of wonders
full of life, colors and
joy.

If the oil keeps
winning the battle
all the wonders
will be destroyed.

The oil is still
gushing
in a constant
menacing way.

It's bringing death
and taking advantage
of human's stupid
mistakes.

So much pain in
every feather
and silent tears in a
dolphins cry.

Are heartbreaking
images
that kill my soul and
storm my mind.

Please make is stop!!
Stop the abuse!!
Stop the spill!!

We need our planet
to survive!!
Please stop making
it ill!!

Thank You For Watching

Demon Seed

The Black tide has risen ...
Thanks to his decision,
To assist in it's progression.
There is no good reason ...
For us to believe him,
The great master of deception.
~ ~ ~
The death of God's creatures ...
And disfigured features,
Wash up upon her blackened shores.
All in the name of greed ...
They spread the demon seed,
Till She can finally take no more.
~ ~ ~
They now beg forgiveness ...
For the death and sickness,
Inflicted upon her children.
But I fear it's too late ...
They've opened the flood gates,
And the demon has now risen.
~ ~ ~
They try to correct it ...
In delay they project it,
Spewing gallons from your pores.
Death counts begin to rise ...
Causing tears in your eyes,
Among silent cries of No More.
~ ~ ~
When will it finally stop? ...
When will Man finally see?,
And change the error of his ways?
The Black tide has risen ...
It's too late for forgivin',
Now we are facing the final days.
~ ~ ~
As it has been foretold ...
Since, the days of old,
The ancients had said we'd perish.
There's no resolution ...
Man must stop his pollutin',
And hold dear this planet we cherish.

RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic Soup/My Heart Yearns For Thee



Just a few ramblings words that came to my mind tonight. Enjoy all...Love asha

My Heart Yearns For Thee
So pure and blue where those colors
When I looked into thine deepest sea
Like looking into those sapphire eyes of my love
My soul mate in life who now watches
Over me from the Heavens above
I am thankful he is there and cannot see
The pure blue of your sea, that you used to be, for
Is now a floating debris of multicolors
Which if they were painted onto a canvas
Would be a lovely picture indeed
But floating round and round upon your majestic rhythm
Thine ocean now, your colors of deepest sky blue sea
Are no more, for they now carry rainbows of the color
From plastic debris, which man has thrown at thee, that
Will forever be, never rot, that plastic of many colors,
Just continue to float round & round thee, it will be, yet then
To the Black death of the oil sludge that is
Slowly killing thee. What mankind has done
To thee, there is no forgiveness for his act.
For you to rise up and exact your vengeance
On those who have brought you such misery
Would be fair justice for many, many generations
To come, yet would that even begin to even the score.
Will we ever know in our lifetimes, or those of
Our children, grand children, great grand children
Or maybe not until the end of mankind, will there
begin to be a change back to the pure blue of your,
Oceans of deep sky blue deaths, to majestic turquoise
Of the coral reefs,that were meant to be crashing
Serenely from shore to shore, without the effects
Man has put on thee. Would you then smile again
So that we who will be hopefully in Heaven by then
can see that beautiful Thee just once, they way
God Meant For You To Be.

RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic Soup

our mother...

you turn a blind eye as our mother dies
never an ounce of concern
will you ever learn
you play ignorant to screams and cries
and turn a blind eye as our mother dies


you turn a deaf ear to the things you hear
never taking a stand
or doing what you can
denying propaganda as fear
you turn a deaf ear to the things you hear


you turn your back while our mother is under attack
never looking around
to see we are going down
commitment is what the world lacks
you turn your back while our mother is under attack


you keep a closed heart while our mother is torn apart
never caring how she bleeds
driven by self-greed
you wake up completely in the dark
and keep a closed heart while our mother is torn apart


while our mother dies you turn a blind eye and a deaf ear
to the things you see and hear
ignorant with no concern
you will never learn
our mother cries and dies before your deafened ears and blinded eyes


our mothers heart is torn apart right behind your back
she is under attack
her blood is upon your hands
while you refuse to take a stand
our mother dies of a broken heart and is torn apart while you sit in the dark

Into Them .. Into Me .. Into You

thoughts .. tears
meaningful words .. appear
seemingly from nowhere
life continues it's treacherous path
to somewhere

traveling
sitting still
it's all the same
nothing ever changes
except environment and the seasons

summer .. faded
autumn .. arrived
fresh cool air chases away humidity
alas .. my heart is sad
i'm a stranger
visiting my own land

a few .. brief moments
i look up .. at the ill colored sky
unseen acid rain .. falls
my native golden skin .. burns
a certain death touch
i fear

my ancestor's eyes .. long closed
an unwanted .. final tribal dance
all oceans .. rivers .. lakes .. streams
continuously scream
for all to hear

crying for relief
from poisons that flow
into them
into me
into you

My dear poet friend StandingBear, you have touched my Blackfoot native heritage with this piece. Truly profound write........The pain and heartache could be seen clearly all through your words. I especially liked this stanza;

my ancestor's eyes .. long closed
an unwanted .. final tribal dance
all oceans .. rivers .. lakes .. streams
continuously scream
for all to hear

As if my grandmother had sent me those words in my dreams......wonderful write dear friend........thank you for your heartfelt words to the Posse's cause in fighting this maddening sickness we have done to our Mother Earth, for she is fuming and Her vengeance will not be swift, but slow and painful.........loves ya asha zipper[/quote]cool smilered facetongue winklong facerolleyes

RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic Soup

The Day the Clouds Cried

It started out like any other day with the sun and wind
bathing mother earth from continent to continent
creating spiraling clouds overhead that seemed to
move in a purposeful manner.

As the day progressed the sun began to disappear behind what was now
ominous clouds that brought forth tiny dancing droplets of moisture
that seemed to float in the soft winds.

The clouds took full possession of the skies around the globe
as they continued to turn from white to grey and as the last
patch of clear sky disappeared behind the clouds the winds
took their leave and the earth fell quiet as never before.

The clouds danced overhead as if responding to a silent and
sad refrain emanating from an ancient celestial point in the
annals of time that marked its beginning.

Slowly the tiny droplets began to intensify and to fall to earth
covering the entire planet with a refreshing wetness that seemed
to mark a prelude to an event never before witnessed by mankind
since he first began to ravage this miraculous gift he had been given.

As if sobbing uncontrollably the rain poured from the skies until
It reached a crescendo of deafening proportions and fell upon
the land as if intent on cleansing, purifying and reversing the
thousands of years of abuse inflicted by man.

The cries of thunder, preceded by lightning bolts that brought down
the temples and monuments constructed by man, were unceasing
and provided a lasting reminder to those that would survive of the
need to embrace this majestic planet.

You may dismiss this fictional tale and scoff at its message… but if you do…
be vigilant of each day least you witness the gathering of clouds and hear the sobbing
sound that signifies the beginning of the day the clouds cried.

RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic Soup

Bon Appetit

We are the chefs we are so rude
A combination that destroys everything
With out a warning label issued
The end of aquatics it shall bring

the soup of death that exist
Spreading into the water everywhere
To the final fish, coral reed and endangered sea creature on the list
I thought we are supposed to care?

What is seen is a bloody tragedy
We need more than a small group for the cause
For a better tomorrow for us to see
Yet many never realize as they watch TV and walk the malls

Wetlands are not what they used to be
Seafood industry is slowly going dry
Though we are the land of the free
Prices increase and we only wonder why?

Gasoline just adds to the damn mix
Of everything else that is out there
Is it too late for us to fix?
As the damage gets worse most of the nation is left unaware

Time for a change perhaps right now
Perfect time to make a stand
Have to save the planet somehow
If only more can understand

RE: RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic Soup

that was wonderful my poet friend. you said it for us all, we may be a small group but a group of poets can speak very loudly through their words and will be heard. those that care and are listening will join the cause rather ours or another and fight to find a better way to live on this earth without destroying everything she has freely given us.......loved this write dear.........keep up the fight......love asha

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
