Empty Harbours
Empty harbours
Yawning
Hungry and waiting
.
Empty harbours
Lying
Gaping and gasping
.
Empty harbours
Gagging
Drowning and sighing
.
Empty harbours
Raped
Aching and crying ..
.
Empty harbours
Echo
Within their own walls
.
Empty harbours
Screaming
Let this be a warning
.

Boating industries are sufferinig fishless and families too are crying for help - a fine piece of warning which should be read by a much wider audience my dear friend.....x
Thanks Fay .. to say they know not what they are doing is such a crude joke, having been warned for quite some time .. makes me wonder in which direction many of em are looking ....... Am glad that's off my chest .. keeping quiet can be such a burden ........................ x
Fished out - 'sorry to make this reductionist and personal Neville, but it is reminiscent of the empty toilet roll shelves as we just enter lockdown here.
Too many people too much greed.
Powerful little warning. Many thanks.
.................. mission accomplished then sir .. and many thanks back at ya .. 🙂
'Empty Harbours
Ripe: for Conquering, once again
only now, its a psychologic warfare - game
depressingly...
history, sure does like its repeat episodes eh my friend
like clockwork, some sage's foretold and foretell
we cockroaches self-sabotaging eventually,
our blind rage of orange, lunacy
a bit lick a clockwork orange film plot, only
this be modernity's unfathomable: reality...
sigh, Sigh.... SIGH!
..... I imagine good old Kubrick would near turn in his grave dont'cha know ....... megatons of thanks L.B 🙂
Good write N.
that's alright then Mr. O ... cheers 🙂
Not so easy to tear up and build houses upon as those old railway lines, long removed, which we morn today.Empty harbours echoing the call of seabird... where are our fish?
Great poem Neville which raised in me the hopeful thought that our solid old harbours shall once again see the tides turn and have a second calling. They do have a rugged beauty which cries out all of your verses to those who pause to behold.
Bless ya DA .. that's the spirit .. let's hope the tide will indeed turn .. for all our sakes and that of our children's children ... many thanks for diving in 🙂
Good write, Neville.
We all can relate to the death of the ocean.
.......... there are not enough fish in the sea sir .. not any more there aint ... thanks for hopping on board my friend 🙂
Those empty harbours will become barren in time if the world does not correct its attitude.
Andy
too right GF60 .. too bloomin right sir .... thanks for pitching in 🙂
Neville,
So, so sad…
There’s always hope that
these wrongs will be righted.
