Turning earth into a square


Some say of this earth it is round,
but I say square.
For in the West as you are now aware
there is so much more painfulness and lack of care.

No one considers it appears
that war is the raging rage on many a sphere
turning earth into a square
where everything is going wrong
and no hope in the future for others to be prepared.

For what will be a lack of life
if the burden of nuclear rapes the earth?

I saw you standing on the shore


I saw you standing on the shore
I know not what you want or I can further explore.
I saw and said to myself deep within
this can only mean some sort of heroic deed
I am definitely not equipped to begin.

So sorry I did not listen before.
So sorry I did not understand that call
from that vast shore line.

I said within that I had other things to do and try before …
before I made such a commitment to love and adore.
I said within I had time to live and live I did
with shame and guilt, love and joy
as too the family I did develop
and now older are on their own alive and well.

And here you come once again.
Years are gone long before
that time you came
on that vast shore.

I know I had a task to answer for.
I know I was being asked to comply
to look back over my futility of shame and blame
and heal once more
to future explore without the garbage, baggage and more.

But I had a sense this was more.

Who am I amidst this shame?


Who am I amidst this shameful deed
of killing and maiming
with utter belligerence and speed?

Who am I that shifts this blameful
shameful disgusting deceitful deed?
Who acts on my behalf politically
and shamefully agrees
it is another not them
that causes harm to those without?

Who is it that sits and shouts,
cries out?
Not those with a voice of care
about the violence done everywhere,
but political expedients
to gain what?
Surely not to line those corporate crooks?

Life goes on and we prefer to deny.
Why I ask myself? Why?
Is there some form in the West –
a type of belligerence
that prefers to deny
as a way to arrest – all that shameful mess
carrying on around the globe?
Denying what in everyone’s mind
is a Westernised drone mentality.
A type of deceitful game play.

I know I have my fair share of guilt,
shameful acts, deceit at best.
But who am I
pretending in the end
when my conscience comes in
and reminds me of that past awfulness?

I have to admit and own my deeds.
Try and correct my behaviour
for the future to succeed.
But who am I
when I fail to comply?
No more than a drone subjected
and allowing others to infiltrate,
excuse and deny.
