THEY TELL ME..

They tell me,

“For, it is my right!”

Ego unfree,

Face red, face tight.

 

They seem to have forgotten,

A precious birthright,

In all that is rotten,

It died in daylight.

 

Gentle reminder,

For it is your right,

To nature be kinder,

Your health you smite.

 

Nature and souls

Bind together,

There are no holes.

Oneness forever.

 

A gift, a home,

The only one,

A human syndrome,

Without it, we’re none.

 

With loving energy,

Tee

ECO-ANXIETY: A SLOW DEATH

I toss and turn,

My body aches my mind lies

I wake up,

The sun sings the birds cry

I step outside,

Buildings rave squirrels die.

 

I cross the road,

Cars rage my lungs weep

I look around,

Artificial memories start to creep

I speed up,

Am I still stuck in sleep?

 

Panic struck,

Why is it all still here?

I run and run

Ridden by fear

Faster, faster!

My existence so drear,

 

I fall to my knees,

I scream I scream

Blood pumping,

Against the stream

Fists clenched,

Am I so extreme?

 

Alive yet lifeless,

Shielded mask

Alive yet lifeless,

Dust at dusk

Alive yet lifeless,

It’s time to unmask!

 

It dawns on me,

I take a breath

I suffocate,

Don’t hold your breath!

For this is

A slow death.
