Once More I Watch
Once more I watch TV’s voodoo;
Local politics, the global too.
All so limited and self-directed,
Motivated by short-sighted
Vested self-interested interests.
I predict that nature will
Take over, leaving all
Those interests in the dust.
Nature will insist
That we desist,
Apportion power,
Share the food, BECOME the grower,
Raking in the profit on the lowest rung,
Survival being last song sung.
Yin and yang can never cease,
The negative is on the increase.
It’s all a happening, a phase,
An episode in time
Which we cannot erase.
So there it stands
And there we stand,
A wispy strand, a filament
And not the centre of all things.
The rings of time demand
That local silliness in politics
Cease and desist. The local ticks
That irritate, cause endless unsolved
Situations neutralize.
Before it’s all about our small demise
And nothing else.
