Darth Vader Lilly



Aloha Poets,
Can you see Darth Vader in the lilly pond? Enjoy!

Pandora's Clocks

Stress echoes from the ancient wilds in faces of danger
Threat of life from all quarters who is the new ranger
Edges on the verge in touchy subjects wind through the trees
Volta Grande do Xingo Brazil calls out its new emergencies

Once to carry a spear now to disappear Arara Tribe eclectic
At what expense this new expanse of Xingu hydroelectric?
Would they wonder what they would soon dry to look like
Techno tools the hands of fools civilization back on a bike

Not quite ready for this fall if only for pure waterfalls
Able enough to be amiable in undeniable water calls
Corporate to cooperate in volatile worlds of new words
Visions progress on Xingu River can art halt the splurge?

Something to cure or simple to cause a new catastrophe
In any case they have a case and it's not the one for trophy
Spearhead a cause in cultures of spears needs now headhunter
Last ditch option to prevent that ditch could it be any blunter?

The satisfied cry from the deeper reaches of a long lost jungle
Kiss the thrill to try not to kill or bring junk at this juncture
Least notable way thirteen tribes hold sway just up to spin hay?
Heavenly seasons in healing passions of forest one window away

Hand-eye coordination needed now and not about pen on paper
Big belching trucks and tractors enter to be earth's final scraper
The river flows and so it goes to live long and dwell upon it
Far reach and far cry to stop arrays this tractor shovel gauntlet

Who someone must be to cross the sea and take on such a project
Rage to riches to cure the itches Belo Monte Dam punched object
To weep so weak then speak out against government in Brazilian
Fuels inner rage against a fuel gauge to flood the Amazon's gazillion

Vast devastation at what cost to a nation where rain forests stood
World only knows how jungle grows weighed in when they could
Avatar speak now in ways that you wow bring satisfaction to fruition
Atrocity city indigenous committee come now nature's intuition

  1. ..I meant the photo. But, the poetry is always as usual very nice. So environmentalist.
