Earth Day 2021 – Thursday April 22

POETIC PREFACE:

An inner conflict dust brew

within this scribe, who offers ye to chew
(like sweet treats metaphorically) thee do
tee incumbent, when Doomsday clock

counts down minutes few

according Al Gore rhythm

unstoppably ticking,

when life gets turned to global goo

tenderized viz Doctor Zeus
if not Horton Hears Hoo

then most definitely The Lorax

(couching urgent morals underscored

by satellite photographs
showing melting ice caps or igloo,

which planetary sos, sans in extremis

requires joint effort of Gentile and Jew,

plus every other sectarian credo,

dogma, ethos, faith...knew
clear family, and whatnot

to become linkedin with Linda Loo

yes, we moost not forget

Old MacDonald with his moo

moo there bovine creatures

agedly hobbling along, or new

lee born, cuz juiced one day
per three hundred and sixty five

(six with leap year -

imagine dragons festooned leotard

with brand name Oroblu)

or poor ole Winnie The Pooh

eternally stuck in Rabbit's

hole sum Hutch as a queue

doth loosely form dreaming up and rue

mien hating solution
to eradicate toxins humankind doth spew
into the atmosphere

(burning the midnight oil) true
lee trying to remedy plight

of said bear character,

perhaps unstated message being woo
king in tandem solutions to resolve

wretched condition of world wide web

possible by bridging differences

between me and you, and you, and you...

Earth Day 2021 – Thursday April 22

Every day ought

necessitate reverence towards Gaia

a vibrant living and breathing planet entity

experiencing upon her land and seas.

Bajillion banshees scream bloody murder methought

upon Biblical (lionized) forebears stalking heads

birthed courtesy accursed beasts hood besought

winds howl across the oblate spheroid

methinks courtesy Homo sapiens horror wrought.

Climate change/global warming siren song

Adam event since time immemorial against
sacred covenant doing Mother Nature wrong

April 22nd waning hours warn us King Kong

antithetical, egotistical, & heretical caretakers

over populated quintessential rowdy sinning

rawbit & powdermilk biscuit munching throng.

Antiestablishmentarian gambit voiced, I tootle

(albeit figuratively), and feign playing trumpet

challenging when born with submucous palate

lamely feeble attempt made tinkering with words

aware crushing humanity legacy takes Herculean

effort to implement global revolution, staging and

coaching proselytizers to shine klieg lights where

industrialization tattooed unseemly sights land

once (unimaginably) pristine acres irrevocably

repurposed into grotesque disfigured terra firma.

Fifty one years ago come

orchestrated first metaphorical telescoping
lens zooming close

far more horrible than
"fake" special effects we

as collective species
impacted planet harkening

back when nasty, short
and brutish proto humans

mastered steely ironic
mettle to fell one after tree

after another, I need
not axe the question if queasy

induced state imagined
envisioning yourself, née

Pandora's box (purported
inventiveness) suddenly vaulted
and unhinged inkling,

when beastie boys plus goo

goo dolls loosed goods
no longer under lock and key

i.e. raw materials to fashion,
whatever struck fancy

re: innately "gifted"
descendent afforded momentary

recognition (nameless
naked apes) that hit upon idea

way manifold generations
before iconic light bulb lit

western civilization taming
current of (ohm my dog)

flow of electrons to supply
amply charging electricity

countless intervenvening
millennium one after another

survival of the fittest likely
accidentally melded insight

with (then) near infinite
natural resources labored away.

Unbeknownst, when chance
cerebral serendipity gave way

where inchoate deliberation,
how ardent smarts applied today

gave dawn of consciousness
quantum leap launching landlubbers

thrust into the seven seas eventually
marshalling routes to unknown,
nevertheless pirated quay

zee whirled wide watery web
long ago hushing nay

saying doubting Thomas

(English muffin chomping chap),

especially at financing

and cost courtesy bourgeoisie

the same old bay...

sic yacht ta yacht ta yacht ta.
