Why do I have to stand
around the edge of the dancing crowd
Wisdom not wealth was what I wanted.
Status and fame were not for me.
Now I can see it makes no difference -
they're all just forms of vanity.

The first miracle is that the Universe exists.
The second that the Earth is so alive.
the third is Mankind.
The fourth will be if the second can survive the third.

Cultural tradition
When weeding beans he works too fast
and by mistake he cuts some down,
the farmhand's annoyance doesn't last
when dissipated by the sound
echoing down the centuries
(as long as there's no gentry round)
by Anglo-Saxon peasantries -
Oh, fuck !

The advantage of winter is spring
when resurgence of life in a trillion trees
starts to net the empowering sun.
All the flowers and leaves that unfold
provide insects and cover to make the birds sing
and the nectar to fatten the bees.
The new cycle of nature begun,
even mammals and men must respond to the hold
of the temperate seasonal swing
from dejection when cold winters freeze
to the hope and the plans that soar up with the sun
making summer green worth more than gold.

It's an achievement
just getting through another day
but then this is my only life
just leaking away.

It's not just climate change that we're at war with;
there's so much plastic in the sea'
so many species threatened with extinction
and all because of our fecundity.
We have so many problems to do more with;
no use relying on technology.
It's not enough to save this ailing Earth with -
replacing gas with electricity.
There's only one thing we can still be sure with;
the rest is almost triviality.
It's overpopulation is the problem -
reducing too many people is the key.

Adolescence
I didn't talk to you
or touch you for I knew
that if I did the world
would crack and we be hurled
into a sinking sea
to watch each other drown.
Perhaps you dreamed of joy
believing girl and boy
could float on tidal waves
and find a beach that saves.
Now I can't face your free
uncomprehending frown.
