Greenwashing the banks
Placing value on nature
May just cost the earth

Birds crash into walls
 It’s impossible to see
Through the London fog

Forests are clear-felled
Factories spew smoke and soot
Dollars disappear

Time of the humans
More species die than are born
We bury ourselves

Fish eating plastic
Foxes lining coats and hats
Birds falling from skies

Ampullai of Lorenzini
Roam like a stingray
Measuring with ammeters
The closeness of us

Pockets full of gold
 Fighting over what’s burning
While our house burns down.

These sacred places
burnt pages rise with the wind
two worlds become one

With a small glimmer
Hope begins in darkness
Spreading like wildfire

Boss ecologists
Locked inside high stake battles
Share a native dream

standing very still
 a red dragonfly called trust
rests in my shadow

We the professors
brag of our blackboard dusters
We erase ourselves

Stacked against the clock
Politics destroy the earth
While we hold our breath

In this realm of kings
Fame is for those who destroy
Not those who plant trees

Bodies slick with sludge
Birds drinking from tailing dams
Dead wings on the beach

Films run in reverse
broken walls will fix themselves
unharpoon the whales

A trees capital
Is worth more dead than alive
Take a deep breath in

In a sea of thieves
escape into the future
waiting for the sun

Sunsets and tempests
The blueprint of secret codes
Under a birds wing

The great penguin rescue of 2000
Despite our worst selves
People still came together
To save the penguins

How they tried to hide
The guilty fled the gavel
bones sang in the dark

walking on the graves
 let the dead bury the dead
voices haunt our sleep

Love or entropy
the glue that holds the world in
as rain buckets down
