Ep. 14 - 1 Million Species - A Spoken Word Poem For Earth Day It Was Phaet

    • Society & Culture

Towards the end of 2023, I told myself I would would get back to writing some Spoken Word Poetry. I found an online contest at the last minute and scrambled to write something and have it recorded and submitted on time. 
The caviat was, that the poem's subject had to be about Climate Change and how Dire the situation is at present. This piece, "1 Million Species", is what came out.. In 3 short sittings. It happened to be the Longest poem I have ever written. 
Please take the 9 minutes and 18 seconds to Listen.. To listen with a clear, conscious mind, ready to recieve. Headphones would be the best option. As well, please, if this poem or any of my content strikes a chord with you, or if there are others who you think might glean some value from it, please share on any and all platforms. I have not really monetized any of this yet.. I do it for the impact it has on others. 
Let me know your thoughts.. what kind of emotions, ideas and other experiences were evoked within you from this. 
Lastly, please do wht you can for this beautiful planet in your own life and out there on your adventures. Remember to always be considerate of all the many species that work together to make this Project Earth continue into the future. Throw away your trash, recycle when you can, pollute less, call others out, or at least lead by example.
