Plenty of Fish in the Sea

Plenty of fish in the sea
Plenty of trees in the forests
Plenty of cows
Plenty of pigs
Plenty of chickens
plenty of animals to go around
Of course they're gonna last
when their dying to fill my plate
of course the trees are gonna last
when we keep chopping them down
The Earth will keep turning
while we choose to keep burning
fuels that cause pollution
what makes you think there's another solution?
I don't have to care
what happens to the bears
I'll be happy on my three piece leather sofa
watching my ninety inch plasma television
after all
there's plenty of fish in the sea

In the Sky

He hid his face amid a crowd of stars
and placed his feet just behind the planet mars
he wished not to see
didn't want to know what was down below
the sky was his refuge
a shelter from the Earth's corruption
here in the solar system there's no disruption
just purity and beauty
no need to escape
just sit and dream
and watch the night float by

first line from the beautiful poem When you are Old by W.B Yeats

The Leaf Trail

Once I saw a trail of leaves
and wondered where they led
when suddenly I heard a child cry
"To the faeries! To the faeries!"
Curious to the child's glee
I followed so I could see
It seemed we walked a thousand miles
in a matter of five minutes
it turned out we were in faeryland
and the child was an elf in a band
they played music so sublime
I lost track of time
what I thought was an hour
was in fact eleven years since I had a shower!

The Rarr

*this is one about one of the fairies in the Faery Oracle deck of cards

Such excitable energy
bouncing so fast
never stops moving
always on the go
The rarr comes into your life and promptly turns it upside down
makes you feel so lightheaded
wow I feel overwhelmingly happy
but at the same time so restless
great mother earth please help me calm down
I'll listen to your soothing sound
It's wonderful to have your head in the clouds
but even more important to keep your feet on the ground

The Beauty

Sometimes the beauty in the world astounds me
Sometimes I just can't believe what I can see
What's that shining light in the corner?
Where's that fragrant smell coming from?
Sometimes I just admire the trees
Sometimes I watch the bees
what's that riding on it's back?
why is there a sparkle on the leaves?
sometimes I want to touch the flowers
sometimes in nature I want to spend my hours
I just can't believe what I can see
Faeries and nature spirits running free
what an amazing sight
Am I really seeing this in broad daylight?
The Earth is already so beautiful
and now it's beauty is intensified
sometimes the beauty in the world simply astounds me

Untitled

Stuck in the chair
watching the view
thinking it's time to watch the news
but do I wanna see
what's happening today
or sit back and idly wait
for Earth to meet it's deadly fate.

The Beauty

Sometimes the beauty in the world astounds me
Sometimes I just can't believe what I can see
What's that shining light in the corner?
Where's that fragrant smell coming from?
Sometimes I just admire the trees
Sometimes I watch the bees
What's that riding on its back?
Why is there a sparkle in the leaves?
Sometimes I want to touch the flowers
Sometimes in nature I want to spend my hours
I just can't believe what I can see
Faeries and Nature Spirits running free
What an amazing sight
Am I really seeing this in broad daylight?
The Earth is already so beautiful
and now its beauty has intensified
Sometimes the beauty in the world simply astounds me

Stars

If the stars didn't exist
what would we wish upon?
would wishes ever come true?
would a wish even exist?

If you took away the moon
would there still be night?
would the tides still roll across the shore?

If the sun was to disappear
would there still be such a thing as light?

If the clouds were to float away forever
would anyone believe in heaven?

if there was no Earth
would we still be alive?

what if there were no dreams
would this world rip at the seams?

What if this is all a fantasy
and we are all but a thought in someone's head?
Does that make us dead?

The universe is filled with things
songs to sing
beauty and pain
sunshine and rain
what if it all went away?
