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.

No hope in sight


Whatever sold me those stories of lies?
I sold my soul to the highest bidder.
God what a state, a debacle I am in.

I cannot envisage my life without any hope,
but here I am in a most hopeless dilemma.-

No home, house of my own,
no family free of the cold, the sun and storm.
No visible view of poverty without any end.
No hope in sight. No play no game, no fun,
but for the fear that plagues our limited time
on Earth each day.

To you in houses grand
what are your chances to spend a dime
to place in my cup on Wall’s Street lawn?

No bloody hope at all!

No way forward


No way forward
tragedy ahead
times are changing for the better
but who or what said that?
Surely not the media
for they are so afraid
if they follow any other pattern
life for them will be radically destroyed.

I know the answers
do you for yourself?
That is the most important stand
if you are able to value who you are
then all the questions are easily understood.

What is the evidence
to make me believe
other than the world news?
Easier said than done –
Trust your own experiences
of where you stand
and who in your neighbourhood
you treat with an equal hand shake.
No mistake about who you are then
clear as clear the evidence –
but do you want to believe
you are that type or not
for that is the problem
we do not think past the television soap op.

No need to worry
the world will last
the use by date is over
but that does not mean
life will not be possible.

The question for today’s thinkers
is quite a lot to contend
for they are fully embracing
that the style is not conducive
to what in the past was an ideal.

No such luck in the future
if the world does not cease its unfair game
where corporations ruin everything
that the politicians in their bought lifestyle allay.

A Mother’s Lament

.

.

Standing tall amongst the stone
as if enthroned
a mother laments,
but what…
we are to leave for her
to there bemoan.
