RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic Soupwell darn, it is supposed to be in the shape of a tear, but its not working here in the forums........but you can see it how it was meant on my page, please go check it out..........thanks love asha She Cries In Pain She Cries In Pain Mother Earth Is Screaming. Is anybody listening? Tears are flowing with stains Flooding down the Mountains Through Streams & Rivers, past Lakes To Valleys below. All the way, She Aches To Her Majestic Oceans, Her tears are forever flowing As she cries, all attempts futile, to wash grime away, knowing What man has thrown out, his filthy trash, She cannot wash away Clopping Her on the head, blacken Her eyes, break limbs, every day Bruising Her precious delicate giving body, that man thinks is elastic Disposing his trash, that never rots, evil thing he created, called plastic Mother is completely unable to digest, and he knows She cannot stretch Her womb to hold anymore. She is sick, in pain, with what man did etch From this Evil thing he has forced down Her throat, when he thinks he's No use for it anymore. Just toss it out, into Her rivers and streams It all goes, till it reaches Her Mighty Oceans blue, where it flows Round and round inside Her belly, with no end in sight, it goes Never digest, evil plastic churning in Her womb, unclaimed She cries to show us how, we should be ashamed Though we are unwilling to write it in stone. This evil mankind has shown. Dispoils his bountiful Home. In the here & now write! "Rapist of Nature" The Panthiest Our Mother Is Fuming.....Watch Out Everyone...lol Written by Asha 2010© Accepted the challenge from poet friend & mentor WooorrrrrrdddddSSSSlllllliiiiiinnnnnggggeeeerrrr!!!

RE: RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic Soupthat was fantastic dear.......what a truly wonderful poem in the fight against mans destructive hand.........thanks for posting this and being part of the posse........loves ya asha Quote:

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... |

RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic SoupPlastic soup that is never ending,,,,,,,what are we willing to do...........Is the question we all need to ask ourselves...........asha Last edited by ApaqRasgirl 08-30-2010 at 10:20:39 PM |

RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic SoupI 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...... Last edited by ApaqRasgirl 08-31-2010 at 03:32:59 AM |

RE: RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic SoupMy 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; Quote:

RE: RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic SoupQuote: Originally Posted by Hampton 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. ©Copyright Charlie Gragg, September 2, 2010 That was stunningly beautiful my dear poet friend, your connection in your heart with mother nature is so plain to see in those humble words of this beautiful piece. I thank you for standing beside me as my brother embraced in natures arms as we struggle to fight against the destruction we have wrought upon Her Majestic Bounties she has given us......Love and light dear friend......***Namaste.........loves ya asha |

RE: RE: Free Cans/Jars of Humanities Plastic Soupthat 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 Quote:

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 |
