Beat Your Drum to the Pulse of the Planet by Carlita Shaw

in #poetry8 years ago (edited)

A deep aching pain,

My life force being drained,

out of this feminine vessel,

like a hole in my heart,

mirroring the sadness of this realm,

everything out of tune,

the seat of my creation contorted,

kidneys crushed, no longer able to filter out the toxicity of the distorted,

my organs damaged, mirroring the external horrors and injustices,

my soul weeps for what we have done,

my body internalizing these violations to the Rights of Nature,

This violence cripples my ability to bring new life into this inferno,

a crisis of human consciousness,

a global war ensues on every level,

we are Earth and she is us,

the lack of empathy for life is horrifying,

Blinded gods of greed and ignorance rules,

all for a psychopathic breed of fools,

every one of us pays the price,

Living life at the throw of a dice.


Yet there is One emerging Light,

Unifying tribes and warriors,

We think we are the last voices to fight,

We are infact the first voices to resist,

for the majesty of all life glorious,

More and more will follow with gathering momentum,

with higher vibrational souls entering this realm,

We are the ones retuning the coming Orchestra for a deeper harmony,

Our desire for peace and rejection of corruption will become the new musical beat,

We are turning crisis into opportunity,

Dedicating ourselves to unity and community,

A way out of the wrath of an archaic empire,

We each hold our own power,


So find your feet and your spear and start walking in rhythm with Nature,

Yours is a duty to abandon illusions of limitations, make way for Free Energy,

A free flowing consciousness, a Free Humanity,

To embrace our duty to reconnect with Gaia,

We will take care of one another,

The power of love in all its forms will be the exclusive currency to restore ecology,

Build bridges, map new territories, plant new seeds

for the birthing of an Awakened Consciousness,

Our hearts, souls and drums will beat to the pulsing rhythm of a more ecologically harmonious Planet.



This is a poem I wrote just before I was about to have a major operation last year to remove 6 kgs of tumours (which explains the first part of the poem)

I can feel the pain in your words, but also the glimmering hope! Really awesome poem. I have a friend who is doing his masters in ecology or more specific ecological phenomenology. I think it would be awesome to hear all the conversation that would have happened.
