POEM:
So rich man you think you’re gonna survive?
Leaving the rest of us to die.
Buy your ticket to outer space,
watch the rest of us spinning in space.
You measure time by your own insignificant place
Mother Earth is starting to wake
We can feel her moving – Under our feet
Dancing but nobody is watching
She is screaming in the whirlpools of abandon love,
Drowning in the pools of blood,
Crying in the dirty rain,
In the clamour of the wind and rain,
how many lives have fallen?
We have rend her garments –
Emptying out her oceans
leaving her in disgrace,
and just plain destroyed this place.
With our lust for power and greed to have ever more,
Lies and deceit riding on the backs of the poor,
leaving them to eat dirt while
using our abandoned pets as live bait.
Oh all for the good life,
for we are gonna have a good time.
No one’s manning spaceship earth
to busy fighting and dying
while we are spinning out of control.
Oh sweet love divine
where do we go from here
oh sweet love divine
where do we go from here.
You seem to have abandon this place
For why complain –
we are riding on the crest of sensation,
oh for we all have a good life,
oh sweet love divine
Gaia is opening up the book of change
bringing forth massive amounts of
anger, sadness and despair
For we have abandoned her
Now chaos sets the order of the day.
And when the morning sun has risen –
I will walk outside this world of dust
Watching
Mother Earth shed
her garment of expression,
awakening the deep strata of my soul
and sets it dancing with my shadow wondering,
where we will go from here?
After the tears – a gentle rain falls
One can sense a presence
to a life’s sustaining ocean
of a love that is freely given,
not bound to any one person or thing
Asking mankind to wear a coat of compassion
To hold on to what is good, —- All you need is love
For All Life!
