RABANI & MOSUL

Revealed in a rather disturbing dream,
A Biblical tale replayed, it would seem...
Bad seed and rotten fruit in two caskets
Are being squashed into garbage baskets:-
No need to be coy-it's in Rabani!
ISIL thugs too in Mosul and many

More places--( like Sodom and Gomorrah )--
On target for destruction by Allah,
Since He is ignored by the jihadists;
Unless they change and become pacifists,
Like leaves at fall, they will fall--God insists!

ENDANGERED

Exponential increase in population,
Nuclear weaponry in proliferation,
Demon-possessed hordes wantonly pillaging,
Active volcanoes rumbling, lava-raging,
Noxious viruses spread their deadly potions;
Greed and corruption defile many nations,
Eventually we will have no more options...
Reaching the tipping point--Is that our death wish?
Eons ago, why did Atlantis vanish?
Did we become high-tech only to perish?

TELL THE TRUTH

Time for mankind to know the truth;
ETs helped Early Man uncouth,
Left megaliths and geo glyphs,
Left their traces on plains and cliffs.
They led us to this techno-age,
Hastened us to our 'modern' stage.
Even now they must be watching
Trouble spots that may need patching,
Roaming Planet Earth's seas and skies,
Urging our leaders to tell lies.
Time to stop being so devious:-
Humans evolve; ETs are us!

IDIOCY

("Tis a tale told by an idiot full of sound
and fury signifying nothing...")

It seems there's a Greater Power behind the throne.
Don't you sometimes suspect leaders are not alone?
I fear our President acts like a marionette,
Obeying 'Superiors'--; His secret Cabinet
Countermands his wishes and orders now and then.
You'll know why:- ETs, please come out to the open...!

Mother Earth

(This is one of my earlier pieces not in acrostic form, but could
probably be sung to the melody of "America, the Beautiful").

Unbeautiful, for smog-dimmed skies,
For acid-laden rain,
For crumbling walls of Arctic ice ,
And rising ocean main...
O Mother Earth, O Mother Earth,
What have we done to thee!
Thy realm defaced
By toxic waste
On land, in air, at sea...

Unbearable, car-gridlocked lanes,
Refuse and fuel spills,
For barren hills, infertile plains,
For climate change that kills;
O Mother Earth, O Mother Earth,
Alas, what have we done!
We face the wrath of our own Sun
With our Shield almost gone!

Dear Mother Earth, we're learning how
To nurture thee and spurn
The spread of poisoned air, we vow
Lest all thy children burn!
Our battle cry, dear Mother Earth:-
Go green, go green, lush green!
Clean power for global rebirth.
Back to a world pristine!

WHY NOT LOVE?

Why are we in so much trouble?
How come our world is a-tremble?
You cannot feel the vibration?

Nothing but Lies and Deception!
Our Greed and Envy devastate,
Turning Altruism to Hate.

Let us rein in Covetousness.
Our world wants Loving Tenderness...
Vindictive, selfish ones will grieve;
Each of us must give Love--to Live!
