[bodytext] => The world is poised to implode Sitting on the edge of its seat Catching a breath The constant spinning has made it sick Floating amongst nothing for an eternity The next sixty seconds can feel like their burning The mountains are positioned to erode The oceans had a premonition- And they sunk into the crust Where the lava bit them- And threw them back up The rain forest has lost its seeds They tractor- trailers haul in their disease Countless species, get down on their knees And beg the industries To go away and leave them in peace The great green lake has shrunk The fish on their backs from the oily drum The ship torched, in the triangle that haunts The Caribbean- Seas of waste cover the coral escape- And the beauty is drowned And when you least expect The world attempts to correct The natural defect- The human ability to self-reflect To make a move Use its muscular reflex To stick out its neck Place it out on the line For life over death For nurturing and motherhood As opposed to felony neglect For patience and brotherhood Let us not quickly forget We are floating alone in a universe The home we share, we should protect Writing alone in this basement I am as guilty now, as is the next So I take my place with you in line And pray for human-kind, never to upset- The balance that has been given A delicacy, meant to be, our greatest asset ____ __ [comments] => 1 [counter] => 147 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Mangos [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
