Silent cries of babies dying pierce my ears
Deformed infants born, a nightmare called “life”
Corpses of bleeding whales paint the ocean pink
Lifeless grey trees, trunks chopped and dry
Bees falling dead “we don’t know why”!
Breathless sweet dolphins scattered by the seashore
.
.
Heavy nights descend like bricks
Hidden hands tighten around my neck
I’m breathing mud, I’m breathing sand
Is it just me standing on my head?
Or is everything around me, upside-down?

Destruction… “conquest” of nature
Radioactive waste… praised as accomplishment
Robbery in broad day light… a “Historic Achievement”
Progress… a family is no longer mum and dad
Liberty… measured in nudity per cm², put on display
Civilisation… how many weapons a nation could amass
Science… a tool of annihilation and a mushroom cloud
Charity… bailout of bankers adding to the trillions in their “empty” coffers
If we don’t give them that, our world would collapse… yes, collapse!
Economy… snatching the last piece of bread from a hungry destitute
Financial growth… interest goes up and up, while life goes down
Security… watching every move, recording every word, just to keep us “safe”
Technology… counting every breath, monitoring every dream only just in case
Defence… watch out, every blink of an eye might be a “secret code”,
Every social gathering could be a “sleeping cell”, call 999 only just in case

O dear Beloved God
How could such a small heart
Take all this pain
.
All I want to be
Is a leaf on a tree
or a wild flower by the road side
Hide forever
Where no one could see
Look up into Heaven
Smile at angels as they pass by

So touching and so searing, laying bare the dirt and grit of civillisation. The Earth and its humane inhabitants are crying out to go back to nature and only what is natural. But first the inhumane must be cured..cured of their addictions to Ego, greed and power.
