I'd really like it today
if I could find a way
to not stay,
but quickly stow away
on a rocketship
to some distant star,
one hopefully very far
from this planet
which spins out of control
and drifts closer
to a sucking black hole
from which
it may never return.


We continue to upset
our Mother’s equilibrium.
We daily dump waste
all over her face.
Can’t we even smell
the human garbage?
Can't we live
in peace and harmony?

unfortuntaley harmony gets to be more and more of a pipedream, doesnt it?

as for me, im a lover, not a fighter, but
too many trigger happy maniacs running around the world - cant see any resolution coming fast- i do what i can from this end of the rainbow

True so true but you know what, I don't really think we can even do anything about it anymore.  Canada dumps its garbage in Michigan.  I don't know how long before it's all just trash everywhere.

"life is crazy sometimes, and you can't do anything about that.  Just hang on tight and enjoy it.  If you have to scream sometimes, just don't cry"

hello again Aliscia!
It is frustrating, but to give up is to give in and let the slobs of the world take over the planet. I won't let that happen as long as I have air to breathe. GAGGING! LOL, some days it is hard to breathe Denver downtown air, but I am not going to give up, and hope you won't either.
Maybe we will need to learn to 'rappel down' those garbage mountains if we can't repel them?
