Mayday, Mayday; Peak Oil Is A Reality; Conserve And Plan For Simplicity Visual Poetry - Peak

...Mayday, Mayday, Peak Oil is real; planning will surely avoid demise

Make no mistake; to do nothing would be irresponsible and unwise

Firm, decisive actions must be taken, long before the peak

Genuine government interventions must be detailed and unique

Those startling distress signals are not just a pack of lies

We would be sensible to stop, think, recognize and realize

Fuh true, scores of drastic adjustments are set to occur, internationally; afar

Shifts will be obvious in residencies, industry and transportation; in particular

Supply and demand will require close monitoring; state of the art

Dependence upon fossil fuels should no longer be chic and smart

Producing food for fuel must be reconsidered or lives will disintegrate

Lack of oil will regulate and cause some to regroup and relocate

Rest assured, the difficulties of yesterday are for the most part; looming, incognito

And, dwindling oil supplies are slowly erasing, the possibilities of tomorrow

Don't trust the sugar coated reports; for, all ain't, status quo

Mayday, Mayday; God help us bypass the dicey, undertow...

Excerpt from Mayday, Mayday; Peak Oil Is A Reality; Conserve And Plan For Simplicity

Poem calling for all to conserve and plan for an existence that is not so dependent upon oil

Excerpt from Arthritis, Go On; Get Out 'uh Here; We've, Got The Victory

...Sure enough, arthritis, you're a condition that long ago, made a debut

Now, you think you're in control and listed in the AMA's Who's Who

For years you lead the assault, just as free as you please

But, lately, better methods have rallied, to seize your disease

Don't you count that forty-six million as the start of a coup d'e'tat

'Cause, DMARDs, NSAIDs and Cox-2 inhibitors, outwits your melee, phenomena

Just so you know; our independence, you'll never, own

Our future is not bleak and blown

Hope and determination sets the tone

Arthritis, you're fired as the mad, menacing puppeteer

Listen up; you vicious annihilator; get out of here

"Poof", "Be Gone", "Disappear"

Poem to encourage those who are living with arthritis

Hooray For Hollywood, Unique A-Listers Outweigh Visual Poetry

Excerpt: ...Their only dramas are proudly played out on the big screen

With impressive, bold, thespian diplomacy
