Green

Green

an artist will tell us
there are so many shades of green
and this is what we’re seeing
on the political scene

green is our landscape
in the seasons of plenty
visible in spring on to fall
then winter can be empty

empty of the colours
a dormancy season
yet growth can be indoors
when fresh greens are the reason

time to bring the growth indoors
for there is scarcity now
the climate is changing
and the seasons somehow

grow the fresh greens
and distribute this wealth
a diet of greens
will restore everyone’s health

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

The Middle East

The Middle East

the middle east is an area of concern
how much longer can such hate burn?
the division of the peoples, the raging of fear
how can the feeling of peace ever get near?

into the empty streets and the bombed out buildings
into the hearts of those touched by the killings
into the neighbourhoods, into the fields
let it be love that enables and the heart that yields

yields and forgives for hatred builds more
love can replenish and heal the before
understanding that all are part of the disease
loving ourselves will help the pain ease

loving our neighbours and forgiving them too
gives a fresh start, it is all we can do
peace is the result, the result of our love
pray for it, live it, it’s what we’re made of
