Mother Goddess Clothed in smoke,
How I love to watch thee choke.
I yearn to dance in Acid rain,
catch thy beasts and cause them pain.
For Gaia we hate, know from our deeds,
Hence we pollute, to placate our needs.
Appear we quite mad and rather insane,
For striving to kill our fulgent domain.
But that is our Karma, doesn’t it sting?
whilst songs of recycle, we fervently sing.
We claim to love, what we do not know,
We’re Hypocrites acting, but only for show.
Glorious Gaia, The Titans you ate,
But death by mere Ants, shall be thy end fate.
For we will succeed where others have tried,
By damning the Seas and turning the Tide.
Thy colours now fade, Thy Oceans now fry,
what was once lush, will forever run dry.
Exclusive to man, should rest this foul shame,
But nothing that lives, shall hide from her blame.
The extent of her wrath, will soon be felt,
when upon our heads, her ice shall melt.
Our number’s up, the end is insight,
For Earth’s execution is our Ladies right.
Heavenly Dragon, Mother of Time,
No excuse can be given, for this awful crime.
Etherial Goddess, who dwells up above,
Facilitate change from hate into love.
I entreat Thee relent and suppress thy due rage,
For potential exists with the Dawn of New Age.

People don’t see anything unless it personally effects them. Alas these are selfish times we live in. Thanks for reading.

You totally possess the eloquence. To be honest this poem was written out of rage, hence the title, it willed itself to be penned, I was merely the instrument through which its achieved manifestation.
Thankyou so much for your kind words of encouragement.

am working my way through all your work so thanks for pointing this one out :-)
Max Gatrell in reply to Miri’s comment, about 1 month ago
thankyou so much for that, i’m glad you enjoyed the poem as a whole. It is a sad piece, but then again, it’s sad what we’re doing to the World aswell, in saying that, it’s not all doom and gloom ;)
I really appreciate the time you’ve take to read my work.
