Global Warning / Life Support “I can’t breat

Global Warning / Life Support

“I can’t breathe” she cries
Gasping through plastic
Tears fill her eyes
Roaming, frantic

Her wide mouth connecting
River and sea
Littered, congested
Sewn shut with debris

Lungs exhausted
Her airways choked
Flatlining, wasted
Polluted, provoked

They’ve taken advantage
Shattered her trust
Cracking her bones
Until chalk-like, dust

Sapped of her energy
Reservoirs drained
It’s not her fault
Yet she feels ashamed

You can see it in her eyes
Darkened pools can’t disguise
She’s had it tough
Hadn’t she given enough?

Of her time, her sustenance
Nurture and beauty
They took and took
All she had left
Her landscapes broken
Forests bereft

As if she didn’t matter
They smashed her up
And scattered

Ashes to the wind
Cliffs whose wounds weep
She longs to inhale
To drink in clean, deep

Water, water
Unsullied water
Her murky pools
Rising, warmer

Filters jammed
High highs, low lows
Barometer smashed
Poison flows

Slowly killing
It creeps through her veins
Spilling into her bloodstream
Like toxic rain

They’ve poached her seas,
Stolen and seized
Sliced her underbelly
All for their greed

She’s tried pleading
Tried pleasing
Tried threat
And demand

But they don’t hear her
Don’t see her
They don’t understand

Until suddenly she screeches
Blasting the sand from her beaches
Air ripping from her lungs
Salty cheeks stung

Wildfires raging
Setting alight
Glittering intensely
Ready to fight

The cars and the smog
The planes, their trails
The carbon haze
Slaughterers of whales

Branches now coming alive
With madness
Green shoots multiplying
Climbing, thriving growing viral
On a mission for survival

Lava spilling over wildly
This could have been prevented
Melting rock, liquid hate
She had not consented

She falls to her knees
“Stop!” she sobs
“Your thirst for more.
Fast lives, fast jobs”

Her rage released
She slumps, exhausted
The beginnings of peace
Revenge aborted

Empty bowels slowly fill again
Diaphragm expands
Lungs self-resuscitate
Knuckles unclench, soft hands

Jaws fall open, released
No longer policed
Her rivers run clear as glass
