Focus on the Children

Focus on the Children

can there be a better intent in these times that present
than to focus on the children?
those who we love, who we’ve dreamed for and of
let us design now their future

what does it take to recognize the mistake
of misguided creativity?
return now to the power within, time to begin
with a prayer for guidance

cherish our past, where we did not doubt peace would last
and play it forward
visit the future, forming details from the blur
and bring it home

we are the dream sayers, we are the future layers
being conscious of that
what we desire must burn as a fire
for our children beyond

never before has the future in store
been so uncertain
knowing we have the power, let us rise as a tower
of strength and explore

the new frontier requires leaders to steer
thru the path of renewal
and all must commit for it’s not time to sit
on the comforts we’ve known

the children are our seed, to cherish and feed
and to honour their future
life must return to a balance, acting now not to take a chance
with the influence of misguidance

tune into the heart song, we share it, we belong
to a race capable of mindfulness
let our hearts beat together so we reconfigure the weather
calming climate and rage

let us set the stage

let us turn the page

for our children, the future

Tubular Theory

Tubular Theory

thanks for the question on tubular theory
we’re happy to answer this important query
tubes are passageways, delivery means
allowing exchanges and balancing memes

those with abundance are able to share
sending to others all they can spare
those who are lacking seek out redundance
places that could possibly share their abundance

it is easy to flow from a place of abundance
flowing into scarcity, where its a welcomed advance
like a dam holding back water that’s about to burst the dam
it’s easy to release the excess to the neighbouring dry lands

for where there is lack and often oppression
there is a desperation felt, wanting to be freed from repression
for basic survival a clear passageway is sought
seeking to fill a need with a flow that’s not blocked

the tubes all exist but not yet reciprocal flow
if peace and safety and happiness is our goal
humanity has to recognize they hold the key for suffering to end
what is the message we can work on and send?

to focus on humanitarian actions – not commercial transactions?
not on who gains the most but on how we can host
others to share our abundance, simply caring
with a generosity reciprocated by a gratitude pairing

compassion is needed
let the tubular theory be heeded
and let the reciprocal flow grow

Fractional Ownership

Fractional Ownership

fractional ownership signifies a divide
how can we divvy up the world?
how can we ever decide
what is yours, what is mine?

if we were to share
the abundance that is
there would be no more poverty
or extravagant fizz

popular modes, competition and greed
fuel an economy that spirals out of control
can we switch it off or simply turn the dial?
does the answer exist in the consumers’ file?

petition the masses and hand out the decree
we are changing our ways until all is at ease
willing to give and willing to receive
not of a life style but the essentials please

all we don’t need we can share, give away
stop producing the unnecessary and necessity for speed
ask “do we need this?” when shopping for more
replacing the old? recycle old – do not store

how quickly can we change and practice the new
depends on the commitment of me and of you
start in our homes, our neighbourhoods and expand
before long the initiative will spread thru the land

dissolving fractional ownership of materials and the land
gives way to being caretakers of all that’s at hand
it helps to beautify a world that now knows itself
and the beauty of sharing confirms humanity’s common wealth
