True Nature Too

Amazon tribes feed

Their babies with hot ashes.

Charcoal promises

South Pacific tribes

Sort the fish from the plastic

On littered beaches

Children of the world

Put their blind elders to shame

As the planet chokes

The Turning Of The Tide

… and the ocean’s spoke

in a voice of wrath and anger

that sounded like dark pebbles

rolling towards the shore

in a blood red tide,

‘You have given us your detritus

and so we return yours’.

And their tone

was accusatory,

and their vengeance swift…

It started on a sunny day

with naked bodies basking

in warm August sun.
