Help Nature Breathe Again
We call ourselves the best of creatures,
Yet what have we done?
Except lead destruction and chaos,
And blindly kill with our gun,
The world was once a beautiful place,
Where wild animals roamed free,
And the plants didn’t require permission to grow,
For Earth to be paradise this is key,
Yet the human’s urge for more is too strong,
So they chain up the helpless animal souls,
And chop down their precious dwellings,
We fill their joy with gaping holes,
The world was once a beautiful place,
Where constant was the climate,
And the sky shone clear and blue,
This was before the human’s heart began to split,
Into worthless pairs of two,
We continue our trail of murder,
From the plants and animals to the atmosphere,
With weapons such as our cars or litter,
We tightly suffocate the Earth year by year,
If this isn’t enough,
We mercilessly kill our own kind,
With wars over pointless wealth,
Or plots constructed by cunning minds,
We continue to crowd every acre of nature,
And add on our pressure to Earth’s fragile land,
But we never feel remorse,
We should no longer be considered grand,
With all the problems we have caused,
With all the animals we have imprisoned,
With all the plants we have cursed to thrive,
With all of our hideous crimes,
Do we still live in the illusion that we are great, and continue to remain oblivious to the suffering we have caused, or do we step up our game, and rid the Earth and its eldest inhabitants of our heavy burden? Together, we can make a difference, and help the Earth breathe again.

Great Big Green Week -Day Seven
these days, the end-times
Sam Donaldson
For us in these times, to even have hope is too abstract, too detached, too spectatorial. Instead we must be a hope, a participant and a force for good as we face this catastrophe.
(Cornel West)
Hopeless Hope
These days weigh heavy, a burden upon the shoulders of my subconscious.
I am aware of a strong sense of…

Fugitive in the Date Palm
It is hard to ignore the red-billed toucan.Solomon says his bill is chipped like an old teacupbut we see the translucence of the deglet noor,its caramelised sunlight.
After the stripping of thorn and billowingof pollen across the plantation,he blew in on a salt wind through the canyons,beak bright as paintpots,

coralling a milky alumben
in water’s distress,

winds its silver

still –
a

Sustainable Poetry

Kids’ Climate March
The kids didn’t go to school on Friday.They all skived off in their thousands,played Tory truant with Andrea Leadsom’s inbox,swaggered, like silly socialist sausages,past Katie Hopkins’ newsstand.
When we heard what they were doing,we peered out of our office windows,hands full of plastic packagingand toxic toner cartridges.
The kids failed to…
