#ASMSG MOTHER EARTH BLEEDING
MOTHER EARTH BLEEDING
Take one long, long look
She is bleeding
Toxic waste
Poisonous
Lethal
Deadly
Contaminated
Erosive
Erosion
A gradual breaking down of this planet
Called Mother Earth
LOOK AT HER
The mess
The trash
Burning all her natural resources
Pouring
Driving
Torrential
Down pouring
Emptying
The life out of Her!!!
Carbon monoxide
Killing her oxygen
The air that she you and I need to breath
An unseen poison
Invisible
Obscure
Masked
Obscured
By the blackness of the smoke
Rising, rising out into the atmosphere
THE WASTE
THE SPILLAGES
Wrecking the seas
Lakes
Streams
Rivers
THE WASTE
Of lives
Plants
Trees
All living beings
THE WASTE
THE WASTE
THE WASTE
How much longer will it take to break this Mother
Earth of ours?
How much longer have we here on our Mother Earth?
How much longer is it going to take to wake the world
up?
OPEN YOUR EYES
OPEN YOUR EYES
OPEN YOUR EYES
NOW
NOW
RIGHT NOW
Painting pretty pictures does not work
Won’t work
Trying to disguise her face
Her place
Masking over the cracks
The holes
Mother Earth is now raging
Fighting back
No more obscurity
No masking
Painting pretty pictures

#ASMSG SCRABBLING
SCRABBLING
Around in this
Dark, dark
Damp, damp
Quagmire
Feeling
Rootling
Digging
Feels like drowning
Sinking
Dying
Going under
Going down
In and
Around in the quagmire
The stench
Making me wretch
Overwhelming
Overpowering
Engulfing my senses
Overthrowing my senses
Emotionally
Physically
With a grasp of the hand
Gripping so tightly
This chain that I hold
I will break free
Free of the burdens
The darkness
The gloom
The shadows
The blackness
The obscurity
The dark clouds a scudding
Across the dark, dark sky
Streaks of lightening
Crackling
Crashing
Cracking
Thunder
Rumbling
Banging
Booming
All around
This won’t deter me
This chain will be broken
Shattered
Destroyed
Wrecked
And ruined
The stench disappearing
The light shining on
Where it belongs

#ASMSG THE WATER'S EDGE
The Water’s Edge
Taken from the anthology ‘Water’
© Teresa Joseph Franklin
The water’s edge is
where I stand
Upon
this beautiful land
It
stretches for miles and miles
The
sand so soft beneath, underneath
Hidden
treasures, un-measurable
The
tiny glistening, gleaming, glittering
Powdery,
gritty pebbles
With
the sun setting in the distance
The
water ebbing and flowing
Backwards
and forwards
Gently,
softly gracefully
Like
dancing to a tune that is so silent
That
only the waves know the tune
Bringing
with it treasure from distant lands
Solitary
silence
Solitary moments
Solitary private moments
Quietly standing on this shoreline
