The Sea is Dead

Love does not create

She simply transforms

The Oceans are the greatest sculptors

The Sun our greatest toy

Nature the greatest jeweller

Of the passing epic of centuries

The continents crash into each other

Our knowledge explodes

In a destruction of the Earth

We who did not create

We who transformed too fast

We who threw our destiny

In with losses

Of the brittle passing elements

The well-known arrogance

Of the predator of eco-systems

The mischievous thief of biodiversity

An ecological criminal

Adolescent of world plundering

One hungry mistake

Of too much taking

And not enough giving.

Doomsday

Let us sleep alone

Yet close to each other

For this is the long night

Of our world’s quick destruction

The signs of turmoil are everywhere

In the days of our own affliction

We have poisoned the future

Our work has created tragedy

In our actions mouths grow hungry

In the sunsets cities burn

In our daily routines

We must fulfill our little duties

But the Earth trembles

And we are only one

Manifestation of a crying world

Let us dream alone tonight

Yet recognizing our world declines.

The Murder of Gaia

We have reproduced ourselves,

In bodies and energy demands,

Until Gaia can no longer sustain herself,

The hypothetical infinity of nature

Has become impotent and infertile.

Human society has become a driving force

For planetary change – like never before,

The most formidable external enemy,

Our inability to change,

The mechanisms of how we view life,

Our patterns of consumptions,

And a philosophy of separation,

This habit of exploitation and buying,

The behaviour that stimulates markets,

Whose ethics are short-term and irrational,

Where growth, not sustainability is the alpha-principle.

We are becoming the subject of our

Own threatening behaviour of consumption,

As the coral reefs die out. so do the oceans,

A horrific inadvertent terraforming of old Earth,

The stuff which legends shall one day be made of,

A global impact of humanity,

Upon the evolution that brought us here,

Upon the fields, soil, water, air – our very sun,

And all the planetary forces which nourished us,

We are all accomplices to history,

The war within has spilled over

We have polluted the earth and changed

Her organs and the harmony of her order,

Until future generations shall no longer recognize,

The greens and blues which was once our birthright.
