MIRAGE

One is a golden leaf.

Another barely a shadow.

Some heat beyond belief.

Walk in a flowery meadow.

-

The fruit is sweet.

The grass is green.

Cold wind, snow, and sleet ...

Opaque white covers clean ...

-

There's a stirring conclusion.

The blood never boils.

There's a fluid transfusion 

Over superheated coils.

-

The vapor escapes volume

From a liquid contaminant.

Blood red color glazed column

From a crystal containment.

-

Metal flows upward.

Suspended in motion.

Petal falls awkward.

Blue-green white waved ocean

-

Knee deep in pollution.

Smelling flowers in air.

Believe there's a solution.

Mazy gardens are somewhere.
-

Blue-green white waved ocean ...

Mirage? Must have been a mirage.

Blue-green white waved ocean ...

Hello, My Green Friend 

Green is yellow and blue.
Green's not the air we breathe.
Yet, we may see that day too.

Know what to do to achieve
Clean, yellow and blue, skies?
While we were loving the sun,
Too long, we ignored the lies.

Now the Green War’s begun!


Hello again, My Green Friend,
There’s no more time to pretend.
Together, we shall fight to defend...
Earth from a cloud of destruction,
In this fight to end Mass Pollution!

Wake Up and Go Green 

 

Green, the color of the envy.

Like the leaves on a tree,
You know you’d want ‘em

If they’re worth money.

And all your friends got ‘em.

-

Green is beautiful, the new black

Pollution is our silent enemy.                      

Never know you’re under attack

Until you try to swallow plenty.

-

Close your eyes, don’t take a breath.

Hide all day, until it just goes away.

Don’t worry about a sudden death.

You can live with it, until someday.

-

Maybe you can sleep all night,

Sentenced to death by smokestack.

Maybe you’ll wake up in fright

And get up and go on the attack.

-

GREENWAR We’re Fightin Back!

War Paint

Territorial rites denied.

Forcing us to take a side.

Estimating the outcome.

Of the death toll sum.

Smoke signals declare.

The odds are unfair.

Gathering berries in the sun.

Frightened prey on the run.

Smearing Mother Earth's dyes.

Bidding our last goodbyes.

Tonic

Stillness breathes new life into space.

The cold silence of conscience

Revolves in orbit, without a trace,

Into afterthoughts of simplicity.

Mesmerized by a prismatic vision.

Crying ionospheric electricity,

Exhausted tears' cloudless prison,

The captured tides ebb and flow.

Quench the thirst of tortured land.

Desolation might have evolved long ago.

Now, silt just sifts through sieves of sand.

Master Gunnery Sergeant

Christ, look out they're coming.

What on Earth,
What's it all becoming,
What on Earth?

I'd cry at the sight ...

Of lovers in delight.

This is a full hearted revolution.

We're here to find the solution.

Don't turn back behind ...

To avoid what you find.

Take aim, lock on what's in sight.

A war is won with all your might.

There is no more ...
Of what was before.

After the deep pain it took in,

We all thought we would win!

I fired green bullets automatically ...

As I ran frantically.

But, don't' ever say I didn't try.

I just wasn't quite ready to die.

Bombs set to ignite,

May end the fight.

Inevitably, before you mend your wounds.

You have to help dig your troop's tombs.

Christ, It's not too late.

Please, don't end our fate.

Imagine Nations

Imagine nations ...
Under one God.
Think before you nod.
Imagine nations ...
Running free.
In democracy.
Imagine nations ...
Naturally sound.
No freeways around.
Imagine nations ...
Joining hands.
Across desert sands.
Imagine nations ...
Regarding the same.
Assuming one name.
Imagine nations ...
Color blind.
What would we find.
Imagine this Image ...
