If there were never parents
Nor grandparents or families.
If our mothers never bore us.
If we never saw the light of day,
If we never saw the sun rise
The animals playing
The trees blowing in the breeze
If we never felt the windy breeze
The grass swaying against our feet
The birds soaring in the sky.
If we never smelled the
Scent of the flowers
The crisp air
If we never heard the laughter
The songs of birds
The cry of waterfalls
If we never tasted the spring of water
If we were never there to meet the
seasons,
To see new born
To feel the rays of the sun
To see rain
To see snow falling on the branches of
trees
To see the leaves picked up by the wind
If we were never here.
For we forgot about the beauty of life
The warmth of nature
And we turned our backs and never saw
again.
We were here to see man hunt for sport,
And never look at what families they
destroyed.
We were here to see hate
We were here to see murder
We were here to make revenge
We were here to fight the innocent and
weak
We became greedy and cruel
We became selfish and heartless
We never aided others as long as we had
more.
We forgot all these gifts that were there
all along.
We forgot about who we really are
For that is why we say
If we were never here.
“Nature, all it does is sit there and
watch, innocently, patiently, waiting until mankind falls.”
-January 3, 2002
Shed give us pity,
And agony of a mother
Not give?
How has shame gone to rot
Among the lying bodies
That are forgotten
Deep in the earth
That trembles and shakes
Like awakened nights
Without a loved one
beside us.
The warmth of a touch
On the cold face
Of an infant in an
everlasting dream.
While our dreams are
forgotten
To chase the smiles
That were once stories
being told
Around glowing eyes
Which have become but
Endless terror in an open
prison.
As the whistleblower blows
the news,
And the falterer hears
the sound
On deafening ears it
hums.
