Tear , tore , torn ! 

mind and soul worn

out of slush ,

greed envy jealousy 

pricking thorns ,

floods of filth 

decrepit thoughts , 

Bear , Bore , Borne !

flesh and bones 

wriggle in thick skin ,

sentiments hauled

systematically mauled ,

material world 

emotions baulk ,

Wear , Wore , Worn !

green pastures gone 

blue skies burn 

red flare of emissions 

life’s dismissal 

distress disaster 

where is the Master ? 

Burn , Burned , Burnt ?

we all mourn

happily destroyed ,

water air earth

everwhere denied ,  

icebergs melt

flown with floods 

Go , Went , Gone !!!
