Lost are we


Saviours are everywhere,
but no-where to be found.
Sanctity is what they crave
and hidden material is what they stave off
from individuals craving for their gold.

Problem with a society – no thanks
for what an evangelist has to relay.
A simple tone of information
no hidden clues –
only love of man and no harm
to those of us trying to improve.

Lost are we…
to that word of breath upon our heart.
Love is a dirty word – far, far too difficult
far easier to hate and hurt.

God bless that soul who wandered free
wanting our saviour-self to be released
and value all of humanity.

The greatness of man


The greatness of man.
How do I write about the facts of a man,
the greatness of adventure, inventiveness and war?

Triumphant poses, regal stance –

No amount of statues, paintings and sculptures of bronze.
No amount of mausoleums, wondrous parks of play,
buildings lit for all to see those names
meant for the ages and of course public display.
No amount of heroes triumphant at battle plays.
No amount of fairness when greed is his to portray.

How do I define this gentleman of greed, property and wealth –
lands of plenty while the rest of humanity lives in poverty
and bleeds?
–
The ancients decry –

No more you foolish mental madman at play.

What have we learned…


Constant evolution, but what have we learned?
Is there any part of our life experiences that gives us the answers
to what is of vital importance and which to discard?

God help the sinner who is trapped within past pain;
doubting Thomas, the rest all far too vain.
No understanding, no conceptualised view, lacking moral fibre
let alone the right to live a harmonious life if one is to so choose.

So many sanctimonious hypercritical affairs,
love on the door step over a few, very few wept tears.
Whatever occurred to lose sense of our true code –
life, all life is so precious
how is it now we can throw it so idly away
as if spent milk from a cow?
–
There is a sudden urgency
does anyone really care
if life on this planet ends
and we all end up particles of nothingness,
a blot upon this once clean, pure air?

Plenty to hide


Secrets are everywhere – plenty to hide.
Men in their pyjamas creeping around in the dark.
Women loitering, children drug-induced
what is the world coming to or has it lost its sense?

No more harmony, peaceful retired
energy never-ending no more personal pride.
Loss is the decade as many previously found,
but who has an answer, no Jesus now around?

Head trips are everywhere,
people boast with a pride
how wealthy and triumphant
as if a personal wealth-induced prize.

No sense of dignity the race wars increase.
Poverty an outrage in one of the richest lands
the globe has to invent.

No example of humanity at large, only night fighters
or is it the secret barrage of a bomb-laden drone
in the evil of night skies.

I have to begin to understand us, this twenty-first deluge.

What is it about us that appears to prefer
damage rather than preserve?

God oh God, what sort are you –
you who supposedly invented a human form
to live upon this once beauteous Earth?
–
Don’t under estimate the power of a man,
one who has been to war at least, the very least,
know what in that circumstance he can in violence abuse.

So many opportunities…


Stormy weather right at my front door
no protective shield –
how did this happen it’s happened before?

How many times
must I be adverse to this advice?

My life purpose always confronting
the object of my tale.

So many opportunities
time and again it appears,
but I, an idle fearful soul lost out –
how does this do
when God it did to me appear?

Life offers up opportunities
to show or shove us into a gear –
a purposeful direction,
but do we listen, observe or care?
–
Don’t risk a repeat of a disaster;
weather does not continue to repeat
only our humanness
appears blind, ignorant and weak.
