anthropocene
A photo book exploring the destructive nature of the world we currently live in.
Anthropocene poem
Waste is non-reusable
We’re covered head to toe
It is inexcusable
How can we stoop so low?
Rubbish will envelop us
We admit way too late
Issues we must discuss
Before we are checkmate
Animals are dying
We realize but do nout’
It is mystifying
How they will be wiped out
Our air is polluted
We try to scream but choke
The truth undisputed
Why does this not provoke?
The earth it is crumbling
A dreary black and white
Everyone is mumbling
But no one stands to fight.
- Jacob Talbot
This place we call our home
Destructed and destroyed
We create our own syndrome
Then act like we’re annoyed
Temperatures are rising
We think of in our mind
Why is it surprising
Its caused by humankind
The ice it is melting
We whisper to no one
Rather overwhelming
It vanishes tonne by tonne
Water levels rising
We see but do not say
No one compromising
Why is there such delay?
Oceans are polluted
We know but do not act
Why is this disputed
We have so much impact
