What are we doing


Can you believe what is happening
to you in our world,
one human existence
upon a common ground?

There are voices, nuclear entrenched,
not forsaking the power
but of a misguided intent.

The world we inhabit
is in a perilous place.
World existence under duress
lacking not space
but of an ability to supply
the mouths of us all
to live in clean environments
and the required food
and water to survive all.

Something tells me …


Something tells me
our life on earth is on the line.
Hanging peg-like precariously
most of the time.

Winds blow,
shimmer and shake.
People idly sleeping
not fully awake.

Awaken to the worldly state
of who is at war
when we sleep and too, awake.

Who is suffering
because those of power
consider less
those who have not?

Why, in a world of opulence
is there so much hurt and harm,
even in places one has prior
not even known.

God of goodness, whoever you are
change man’s conscience
to become fair.
Fair to deliver
a more vitally important stand
to include all in a far more equally
diverse plan.

Not equate politically
with those corporate
illegality performing, prancing few.
Consider the life
as a God-given gift, as you.

Stop warring


Sometimes I wonder why violence,
in a world of beauty, is extreme.

Why people are displaced
by a famine or flood
without proper information
to protect
what historically is known?

Why man made creative, thoughtful ideas
are put to a devastatingly violent, abusive scene,
where warring mentality is not viewed as obscene?

I consider my behaviour
and wonder why
humility, humanity and compassion
regularly die.

Inwardly aware, I know experientially,
goodness and care, acceptance,
tolerance and fair.
But however much I subject myself
to levels of unacceptable behaviour
that of a kind voice of forgiveness,
fairness and learning admonishes
and advises in how to choose from then on…

Peace obsolete


The weather bleak.
Man has been uncaring and weak.
Polluted soils and seas deplete.
No restoration in sight.
No plan but destroy.

Nuclear war everywhere
talked and thought.
Man’s mind a war machine
violence being a common theme.

How possible now to change that way?

Peace obsolete.
So in a way no more good or restful sleep.
Agitation, confrontation
man has lost a willing streak
to work on behaviour, consider and keep
vigilance toward war-like stands.

Powerful enemies that strike
not keep their distance
debate and preserve
the best inside man and universe deserve.

Loving life
and man’s best friend
Earth and Nature
God’s gift to him.

Called to be as one


The driving forces weaken us
and we awaken slowly
as scare tactics work their trick.

No one awakens out of slumber
for the truth is there
to disturb and control us
into nothingness
and back to sleep again.

You thought the life was good
and earth complete.
You thought that everything was lovely
and the view interpreted through sleep.
But the view, the world, the undergrowth
is spreading out to sea with vile disruptions
and it is not an earthquake rumble
but a bloody great disaster affecting you and me.

You thought about your safety
as the drones above bleep
and drop there discharge of mutation ‘here we are’.
