Ocean - Palm Oil spill & art

It was a sun shinning hot summers day
She pondered the idea of artistic play,
Yes, she thought! with no doubt in her mind
Now was the time to walk out and be fine!

As she stepped out onto the hot sandy beach
her eyes noticed something that looked quite unique
Large balls of snow just covered the sand plain
with a lot more just floating like icebergs how... Strange!

She walk up closer to inspect the weird stuff
she wondered what it was and will it effect her rust?
Her toe came in contact with that odd MUCK!
The buttery feeling was wrong, gross and YUCK!

She went into the ocean to change her sea water
tiny white balls of this horrid butter like ______
Her efforts to avoid it,, were all in vain
What the hell can clean this up? Certainly not rain!

She heard the report of a palm oil spill,
OH! that's what that stuff is! she heard herself shrill
It was hard to remove without thick soap and water
to it remains in this art as a gentle reminder!

How many lives where lost in that disaster
first the orangutans, fish, sea mammals and ____
Beach closes, animal loss isn't enough?
Common people! you need to WAKE UP!

Look at the beauty that could grow if we cared
Fine stitching and craft ship, no angst or despair 
Fair paid labour that pays living costs
Individual ideas bought once NOT cheap rot!

The details and images nature provided
has inspired myself and another great artist
To do something wonderful for our amazing planet
creating new environmentally sound practise

Fare art and value to each persons creation
making so many fantastic things on location
Recycling, reusing and reducing our waste
Is one thing we can all do, so catch up and take haste

Your actions do matter and your efforts do count!
Together we can do this, use your talent and mount...
A great idea that is true to your heart
and a partner in crime can be a good start!

A darkness creeping

Image
Feeling my way through the dark, This is all new territory for me I've never been quite so proud Of discovering what it's like to be free I watch the passers by drone past In their massive funeral processions. Blinding light and blinkers on They only seek to complete their mission A lot of people out their can't see past their nose. Always taking on social challenges Just to feed their empty ego's Money doesn't matter, get over it I say! Wake up world and see the light for now you are the rain clouds Pouring down on other people That are different from yourself Falling into a sea of indifference Causing mental disease and hate I fail to understand why anyone can fall asleep at night If I don't do something grand right now! That's 2 generations who neglect! Oh what a danger, we all have become causing destruction to our Earth Greedy minds just hunger for a chance to build self worth the rest of

Disconnect and get connected

I edit so much of what I am thinking afraid of the judgement my true thoughts will receive I am starting to learn that I am not alone There are many more out there, just like me Tired and lonely because things aren't really right feeling a huge obligation to fake it all the time A true conversation or a pleasant exchange I really struggle to watch people rushing around No time for nothing, no time for a chat Unless you are in trouble, they will then have your back I can't help but consider the difference it would make if people made time, before its too late To take a moment and stop to contemplate Their valuable time isn't being used wisely Instead its all about money and social climbing Where is your kindness? compassion and love? These people are all good and its not their fault The filthy rich companies are controlling so much stuff The governments are failing but trying their best Everyone ones complain about this horrible

Too much noise!

Image
Right now my heart is yearning for a quieter time of day The constant source of noise, feels like it's blocking my child Random thoughts expressed out loud are filling up my head I can't quite get a clear line in with all that's being said A useless bunch of information is taking over my mind I feel less focused and my concentration is not wandering in Divine I suddenly feel imprisoned in a crowded mind of thought The feeling roaring up inside are starting to effect my work Where must I go, what must I seek to keep myself in check I'm exhausted keeping up with me, my mind is starting to choke A bulky kind of misleading pattern has entered in my mind My inner calm is screaming now as I toil away in the deadly hours Persistence and a driving ray is trying to find my way I'm surrounded in the darkness of whatever came was thrown my way Sinking quickly in the sand of shame and total dis array Did i miss my foot stepping into a pile o
