What Has Oil Done...

What has oil done...

to humanity?

the environment?

this planet?

It created lines in the sand, greed, need, war, pain, bloodshed and turmoil.
It created corporations and lobbyists and crooked politicians who say one thing while doing another.
It created industries and factories, employing many to their own demise and even death.
It created deceit, shortcuts, a driving insanity in all humanity - liquid gold.

It created a carbon footprint bigger than any imaginable sci-fi beast.
It created mud flats that once thrived to be decimated and destroyed.
It created defective genes in what once was safe to consume.
It created clouds of smog, choking out the sun and breathable air.

It created a sickness, no vaccine can battle.
It created waters no longer able to sustain life.
It created catastrophic wounds unable of healing as mother earth bleeds this black sickness.
It created a monster that is watching us fatten up like lambs before the slaughter.


Note: These are just my recent thoughts and had to vent through creative writing. Feel free to add your own.

I'm not perfect and that's okay
Because the Goddess didn't make me that way
People will judge me but that's all right
It won't disturb my sleep at night
Some people may not like my voice
They don't have to listen, they have a choice
Some people may not like my clothes
But I like my style and that's the way it goes
Some people may not like what I have to say
It's my opinion, but I'm sorry they feel that way
Some might have a problem with the way I am
But the truth is I don't give a damn
Some people may think that insults will hurt me
Their words are based on ignorance, they don't know me
My personality may rub some the wrong way
But that's all right, I won't see them another day
Words may sting, judgment may be cruel
But they can't change my point of view
For my beliefs people may try to knock me down
But I'm a survivor and I'll stick around
People may taunt, tease, jest and mock me
But they'll get theirs eventually
I may not be as attractive as a movie star
But it's perseverance that will get me far
I'm only human so it's okay
If there's a few dark clouds on my sunny day
Just as long as I can say honestly
"I'm glad and proud to be just me"

The Real Me

You've come to me based on an ideal
Believing your own fantasy real
But I am flawed, merely human
I am the common creature known as woman
I never lied about my being, my choice
And I've spoken with no other than my own voice
I wear little makeup as I've no obsession
With that unattainable thing called perfection

I do not care to chase men as sport
And with womanizers I have no rapport
You say that I am without a clue
But that's not the case - so here's a tip for you
If I interest you, then accept me for who I am
For your unrealistic vision I don't give a damn

I am stubborn, my laughter is rich
I am intelligent and a sarcastic bitch
I have no patience for pettiness or fools
And I refuse to play by your rules

I am more gentle and kind than angry, you see
And love is a many-splendoured thing for me
When I give my heart, it's for eternity
I lock inside the one I love and throw away the key
But it's not through words that I demonstrate passion
I do so only through my actions

I feel more deeply than you'll ever know
And I care much more than I can show
On children and animals I bestow affection
And I give the disaffected special attention
I oft befriend the misunderstood
Perhaps I care more than anyone could
I defy the barriers of race, colour or creed
Breaking through to those most in need

To my friends, I am counselor and confidante
With me they share their feelings and wants
They know placing a secret in my possession
Is like entering a church's booth of confession

I am normally not one to play up my abilities
As I tend to live my life quietly
But in your search for perfection, it pains me to see
That you have mistaken, misjudged the real me
But I also realize one thing that could also be true
Perhaps I am too much woman for you

Bridges Can Be Built

Fires rage in my heart the heat heals the pain bridges can be built as a human being I listen to your suffering you offer me your story the pain of the war I learn bridges can be built you are my enemy I was told be a good girl speak only our words and then I met you bridges can be built truth is more important I will speak out for the healing of the world take courage take spirit the game of the tribe is not for me bridges can be built the clothes of prejudice now stripped away as I open to you leaving my bare soul that can love you all bridges can be built with the eyes of knowing I move from us and them our differences disappear the unity of humanity remains bridges can be built your sons could be mine and I could be your brother planting the bomb that killed the little boy bridges can be built and now I stand alone with you who killed my Dad there is a place inside me that knows you acted your truth challenging injustice and oppression my Dad was in the way bridges can be built I miss my Dad and cry for the grandad my girls cannot know tears of grief for all who suffer we are one in our loss in our pain bridges can be built sometimes I feel that my heart heals as Ireland heals I am sorry for the suffering imposed by my tribe I acknowledge your struggle bridges can be built my heart burns for peace, justice and equality for all the passion of knowing that bridges can be built
