Terence George Craddock Deforestation Poems

flesh pounding brain body beyond endurance
sound of severe heartbreak is nature ravaged
flame chaos huge blazing bushfires sweeping
across landscape raw wounds of deforestation
...

death is cut clipped stumps
greedily gobbled globules
desecrated virile all mother
...

destruction still incomplete land lung great forests
of Europe North America were gone but greed men
could now move on to the new deforestation of Asia
...

flash back to an age of coal steam
an age of native American genocide
an age of inheritance dispossession
...
