Rumination launching
a dream shivers
with anxiety screened
in isolation he quivers
silently watching
the vacuity linger
as widespread fear
grows palpably grimmer.

Under miles of darkness
my country is overwhelmed
by singed air steeped
in suffering has condemned
epic losses of wildlife
their habitats destroyed
our compassion and assistance
must be generously employed
to help the living beings
struggling in this void.

Life cycle etched
in a perpetual sphere
of mystery within
a cosmic tier
as the infinite circle
of natural law
suffuses the Universe
with enlightening awe
all senses resonate
with vibrations unseen
and our minds meditate
on positive beliefs.

His dementia dissolved
in a psychedelic dream
of 50s flashbacks when
rock and roll was deemed
by parents at the time
as something obscene
yet this memory engaged him
in a happiness unseen
except briefly by nurses
who dismissed his whim
as a nonsensical fancy
and abandoned him.

Angst aground
is circling around
to a scary melody
in shadows abound.

Moments of eternity
is slipping away
the older one grows
the more dismay
by plastic pollution
and a world in disarray
in relentless flow
of overpopulation
and irreversible decay.
