Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Starving for attention: 4 of 130
A million silent voices Crying in the sun Starving for attention I am not the only one. Bloated yet skeletal Dead, but still alive, Invisible and forgotten, How DO you think we thrive? The lens shows my humanity, Yet I have no place to go, Only ever knowing hunger, My world moves very slow. We wait so ver... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Environmental Awareness Determining the Earth's capacity to sustain population growth: 1 of 28
The human race is reproducing at a pace higher than exponential rate. If you look at a graph of human population history, you will see a high, almost vertical peak up to current figures.

I shout a desperate plea As they pass at breakneck speed, I smile and look so sad ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Puddles: 14 of 122
Quicksilver mind, a childish joy Whilst Mommy smiles, I will jump in! But I resist, I am not allowed, It is cold and damp, a muddy sin Such temptation to jump and splash!

Colour your many ... More..
