I watch in silence as the birds fly so beautifully among the heavens, whistling naively to the Tune of Nature. Do they know of the humans' plans to shoot them all? Do they know they will be killed, without merit, without dignity, but for sport? I will leave that as a rhetorical question for the reader.
Thousands upon thousands of forested trees will grow beyond my utmost reaches, no matter how tall my ladder. Despite, they quietly rest peacefully, making pinecones, assuming they are anti-deciduous (look it up). But do they know the human choppers plan to cut them down? Do they know their chops are without merit, reason or cause? This, too, is left as a rhetorical question to the reader.
The oceans splash me violently with salt water. And ever so delicately, the salt evaporates into the abyss. But what of the polluters, who plan to melt the polar ice caps? I am left speechless, unable to say or do anything, but just talking about it makes me feel better. I have something that I need to say.
~Part 2~
Mother Earth, She rests beneath me, she resists my futile advances. But quietly She stirs, She stirs, I reckon. But does She know the humans plan to cover Her in concrete and technology? Does She know her imminent Transformation is without merit, reason or cause? The answer is no, She does not, for She is Earth.
I choose to finalize this piece with a photograph of me in my deepest level of meditation (quadrant 4 on the Timian System) on the looming "Loss of Nature." Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, sometimes several hundred thousand. I need the Community At Large to see my pain, to believe what I am going through and share the burden of this quest. It's up to you, for I am just another guy, just like you and me. I do not consider myself better than anyone else. Follow me, and I will follow you.

I would think that if a planet were aware of it human inhabitants and thier motives then the life that the planet produces would inherently be aware of the same knowledge. Just my opinion. Also this sucked the balls of the flies that suck on donkey balls for sustenace.

Shennanigans. Anyone with a brain would agree with the concept of creating a sustainable economy, reducing smog, pollution, the human footprint etc, but what human being intelligent enough to string two words together would think emo poetry and third grade biology vocab would impress anyone. If you want to save those trees maybe you should put down the bong, cut your hair, and get off your hippy ass. Start a green fund. Open a recycling plant. Violently rape a Japanese whaler. Invent a car that runs off water.

Well Chad, you see the main problem here is what you've posted is really the kind of thing we like to ridicule here on an almost hourly basis and Chad, Chad my friend you MUST have known that new age brain drivel like this was going to be torn to shreds the instant you posted it.
We can but give you a -2.

he isnt a hypocrite. I betcha he goes everywhere via horse and buggy, grows his own food, wipes his ass with his bare hand and then uses his feces covered hand to fertilize his organic garden, generates all his electricity via solar and wind power, makes clothes from scratch, only bathes when his stench is too much to bare (wait that one is true).

I hope you are an alter, but if not.
I do not assume anything about anyone. I just think you are far to worried about a planet that has survived numerous environmental changes, including getting smacked by a big fucking rock that fell from outer space. This planet will be around alot longer than the human race, and we are all here for just a little while. I am glad you care about humanity, most people do. Help people first, and stop worrying about the planet. Hell stop worrying period, worrying is the biggest waste of time and mental energy in the world.

Are you assuming that I don't care about humanity?
Every person in this world, good or bad, is a part of the same world.
Yes, I care about the African children who are born with HIV and will grow up without their parents.
Yes, I worry about the people who are ill and mentally challenged, and can not be helped. But some times I wonder why people like that are in their situations. I wonder about the people who didn't care about them when they were in need, and the people who don't care now.
I cry for this world when I see that men have to swim across a putrid, polluted river of our own making, just to get into a country that will slowly kill them with backbreaking labor and deplorable environmental conditions.
I see many people HERE don't seem to care, though. Ask yourself this. If you were flown to Africa, right into the middle of Ethiopia, and were placed in a group of people for one week who haven't eaten in quite some time, and were given enough food to last YOU and you alone for one week, would you feed that group of people, or would you save yourself?
I am guessing that many people here would save themselves.

are you Amish? do you live in a mud hut? do you wipe your ass with pinecones? do you benefit at all from the internal combustion engine?Is a hamster powering a generator to provide the electricity for your computer?
Believe it or not you MAY think you do more to help the planet, but in reality you are no better than the average person. Not everyone outside of your drum circle wants to rape the planet, in fact some care about it more than others. This is neither here nor there. The message is not the problem, the PRESENTATION is the problem. You are addressing a group of people, that is for the most part comprised of intelligent people, in a very condescending way. That right there is enough to generate the flurry of -2's that this post has recieved.
Not only that but open your eyes Cheech, we live in precarious times where one world leader could trigger the next world war. If you want to get worked up think of all the little baby HUMANS who have aids or go to bed hungry. If you want to cry think about that crazy homeless guy sitting outside freezing his ass off, his only sin? Being crazy as a bedbug, and no one can help him. If you want to do some good in this world, make a difference in your species. The planet is in more danger of getting fubar by an asteroid/comet, than by getting ruined by loggers who are cutting down trees to build houses for people.

I understand why many of you THINK you understand your anger.
But I can tell by the over-the-top anger that you do at least feel a BIT badly about how you've lived your life as a part of this world, and that's alright, you know?
For a long time, I didn't want to see the world around me falling apart, either.
Then one day, after drum circle, I started talking with a new friend of mine who clued me into the deep pain even *I* was causing, and it really made me want to d the same for others.
That's really all I am trying to do here. I would hope that all of you who have turned the blind eye can open it and really see what I see.

Your words, mung bean:
"Maybe I don't articulate my thoughts in a way that you can understand as easily as others"
"I think most of you all really need to sit down, and look in on yourselves"
"Is it really me, and my ideas?"
Yes, it is really you.
And your facile, twee arrogance.
And your blatant, puerile hypocrisy.
While I appreciate your holistic charge, your overtures of self righteousness and smug superiority do you no favours.
Check your rating for the proof in the pudding.
You sanctimonious ass.

Why do I have to have a "hemp buttplug" or have THC filled air to care about things?
Maybe I don't articulate my thoughts in a way that you can understand as easily as others, but at least I am being true to myself, and to my feelings about Mother Earth.

You need to get out that apartment of yours and get some fresh (read THC free) air. Hell take a ride out in the country. I live in the country, fresh air, deer in my yard, birds bees all that shit. But dont you dare come around here and molest my trees! If I catch you dry humping one of my trees so help me I will shoot you, put you through the woodchipper and use your remains to fertilize my summer garden.

I don't expect unenlighted people to really understand what I am trying to express here, but why the negativity?
Who the fuck are you to judge? You bang on with this soppy slurry and expect to have a positive reaction? And then you dare piss an moan?
Wake up.
I do not lactate, nor do I menstruate. Even still, I do not need to have a testicularly challenged man to piss and moan about the fucking planet or whatever it was you failed to articulate.
We all know we are in deep shit, but the picture makes this planet far worse off than whatever GWB could manage in his Wild West dreams.
You carry on like a chronically depressed budgerigar.
Now remove your hemp buttplug and try and mash out something with at least a shred of insight or wisdom. Fuck it, go for whimsy if that's what your bong addled brain can slobber out at this unGodly hour.
