Poems written by a girl whose mind is in the clouds. Note: some of my poems are actually song lyrics. So if you see a repeating part that's the chorus. And if anyone is wondering why I write song lyrics the answer is.....um.....I actually don't know myself. Cover drawn by the lovely @themiraculous.doodlebug on Instagram and @ohwhoisshe on Tumblr.

((The Orginazations in this current story are completely Fictional This story can and will be offensive in many ways from the slightest rascist joke to the most crude grotesque joke you've ever heard., thank you for reading.))

In here I will be discussing the ethical issues as well as issues concerning the environment and the sustainability. I will be challenging people's everyday lifestyle choices and perspectives in order to eliminate our toxic habits.

It's 2042 and Climate change is humanity's leading challenge. Unfortunately, those entrusted with all the power and necessary amount of resources required to reverse the recurring effects have done nearly nothing. Mr Olum, a Ugandan billionaire and son to a famous renewable energy scientist turns Archaeologist in an attempt to locate an ancient C'wezi artefact believed to possess unimaginable power capable of ending nearly all of Africa's social, economic and political challenges. If so, then this could be what he needed to heal his mother from a strange mental illness. However, to get his hands on it, Mr Olum must clash with a famous, more powerful and wealthier family known to have descended directly from Ndahura, a legendary king of the BaC'wezi.

Momma used to say that she would love me forever. And I used to believe her. But when she left me, I couldn't help but wonder how cruel the real world could be. As I stared at the dull gray water and trash of all shape and sizes floating in it, I wonder, and I dream. All those days of arduous work, all those days of earning money, jumping onto trains, risking my life, it was all for this. And this is nothing.

Being a simple citizen of Mechtropolis, there's a lot that goes on with history of how it began. Being me, you don't just study it.... You research it yourself. Completed: 5/15/16

Why must life be this way as those who tolerate are forced to tolerate and those who chose to leave are frowned upon by simply wanting to get out of hot water and those who cannot afford to live a respectable life are told to widen up though the ones who tell them to do so are the ones not paying

A science fiction dystopian story about the effects of pollution and global warming.

At what point have humans gone too far? When our journey knows nothing but destruction...who will stop us?

Dream of a place that has almost everything someone would want in it. There is no poverty, pollution, or anything that seems to do harm to the world. Everyone seems happy, content, and follows a life of comfort and joy. Love and hope are almost tangible things, and anyone can feel it while in that place. Birds sing, and the animals there mingle and live in harmony with the humans. The shining sun is a stable object in the sky. Now, with all of that in mind, flip that image upside down. The aforementioned poverty and pollution come back in full force. The tangible love and hope sours and shrivels into something darker. Car alarms and screams are a part of this place's background noise. Smog clouds cover the previously blue sky. These two places seem worlds away from each other, but they are only separated by a wall that seems to split the world in half. The wall, giving the impression that it rises up into the heavens and goes beyond even that, is the clean side's salvation. At the same time, it is the darker side's bane. Many live on either side of the wall, but the darker side's people are dying due to the pollution that the clean side has trapped them in. The clean side, Sanctum, lets its people live a happy life, while the children of the darker side, the Rot, were doomed from birth to short lives until sickness or confinement claimed them. The wall Aegis has stood for two hundred and ninety-eight years, taken care of by the Sentinels of Sanctum. Guarded by their elite, Sanctum's citizens hardly ever thought about the Rot's blight. After all, their king would always take care of them. Something out of sight is out of mind, but this blight's salvation is about to be in full view.

My third short story for the National Geographic #PlanetOrPlastic writing contest takes place in Michigan in the early 1980s, where a teenage boy is devastated by the death of his younger brother at the hands of polyurethane, a type of plastic commonly used for insulation at the time. What seems like a totally normal Valentine's Day turns into one he'll never forget, and never take for granted, especially when it comes to protecting those at home, in the sea, and the entire world.

Save the Earth! In each chapter, this book will have an environmental problem. Please read the chapter How to Use this Book. I know it sounds optional to read, but it has important information. This book is for people of all ages, but is particularly targeted for kids, who will be the generation that will have to suffer most from global warming.

In the year 2022, A plastic plague has hit the planet caused by humans , this changes everything, now humans and sea creatures and even the ocean itself are dying. But will those creatures face defeat or will they strive up and save their home, the ocean.

A heartbreaking tale due to the pollution to our oceans. If we all take actions to reduce the usage of plastic, we can prevent worse damage that's bound to be done. My submission for #PlanetOrPlastic

It's the year 2159 and all of humanity has been wiped out by severe pollution and radiation - all except the city of Dinas. Dinas is a city in the clouds - 350 miles up in the clouds, to be exact. It's divided into two parts: Dimora, where the Affluent - rich - live, and Profugo, where the Destitute - poor - live. Jericho was born into the life of an Affluent, but he was sent to Profugo to live as a Destitute when both his parents died. He met Deveraux after a week of living alone and the two of them joined together to survive. Deveraux is a Destitute. His mother died giving birth to him and eight years later his father committed suicide. After a year of being alone, he found Jericho on the streets and joined with him to survive. Xyra is an Affluent. She's always gotten anything she wanted. Anything, except freedom. Now, all of them seventeen year old convicts, get the worst news of their lives: they're to be a part of the Exemption Trials, a week of deadly tests and obstacles designed to see if they are worthy of being let back into society. However, the trials are also designed for them to fail, and only one person has ever made it out alive. With the help of the nine other convicts selected to be in the trials, can Jericho, Deveraux, and Xyra beat the odds and make it to freedom, or will they perish like so many others before them?
