Appeal to the North

Appeal to the North

friends of the north, we request your assistance
the ways of the arctic have no resistance
to the climate changes happening and further exploitation
your input is critical to the future of this nation

who can you chose to represent your hamlets?
you inhabit the vastness of the north of this planet
only you know the ways to preserve and honour this land
you wisdom, ancient wisdom needs to lead what is planned

the Green Party requests your full participation
your presence will reflect what is to become our new nation
from west to east, from north to south
full representation, collaboration, is what this is about

Nunavut, the Yukon and North West Territories
represent almost 40% of the area of of our nation
compared to a total of 35 million people coast to coast to coast

Property Address(ed)

Property Address(ed)

this property has been an experiment in collaboration
some like it hot, some like it cold
some like a mix and it can be over sold
what is the answer for us?

to keep it and rent where the history is known
to sell and reinvest hoping the value can be grown
these things we ponder, these issues are complex
we are tired right now so have trouble in this quest

a quest to find out just what is the best
we are living in times of global unrest
trusting our counsel is a very good thing
but when counsel’s away the warning bells ring

what work is involved if we manage it now?
the landscaping is first and that we know how
the roof under the tree and trim that needs paint
a few steps at the suite, dirty decks that are quaint

to freshen it up will take almost no time
the investment costs little, the return is just fine
whenever we need to we can sell it again
now the market is buoyant, what about then?

to sell now we are released from a responsibility of care
the tenants, the systems, the timing, the fare
how much rent do we charge, what expenses to carry?
we have more decisions to make or should we just take the ferry

a time in our lives when we want freedom to be
to look after family and the world still to see
to live in connection to the parts of life that we cherish
keeping a rental house? make sense or just garish?

all our eggs in one basket? property rich?
can we be good future landlords or is there a hitch?
what could be better if we choose to invest?
we are asking for guidance, can you do the rest?

we will wait for an answer and know it to be true
we will exercise patience in knowing what to do
please make it soon as others will be affected
we‘ll carry on now so nothing is neglected

until soon, many thanks, the owners

Creatively United for the Nations

Creatively United for the Nations

an absence of fear as we kick into gear
with a fire that burns in our hearts
aligned with each other, all part of one another
we are stepping up to play our parts

what can we give from the passion we live
to share with these nations of ours?
creatively united, becoming fully insighted
we all have gifts we can share

our writing expressed, highlighting the best
of what we want and see as our future
our songs that are sung, new rhythms begun
can send out these delights by computer

photography plus, a message of trust
that all want the same for the children
paintings of signs, unique new designs
displayed on our lawns and in windows

let us wear green, become the machine
that unites us all with a purpose
young painting their nails, green pony tails?
so many ways to show our support

how green can we get when we’re really set
to play the game a new way
be gone with attack ads, replace with creative adds
that unite our gifts to display

the Green party represents all it presents
in it’s messaging of walking their talk
community leaders, respected peacekeepers
all passionate about bringing about change

let us have fun with what candidates have begun
and share their commitment to serve
the grassroots are the we, wanting to be free
to transform these nations of ours

creatively united, we’re all excited
to have an opportunity to now perform
from the north to south, from the west to east
a new way to take these nations by storm

ride the green wave, surfer’s skills displayed
the wave growing more powerful as it builds
ride from the crest where the view is the best
and watch as it sweeps our nations

come out to play the game of the day
have fun, get it done and into this will be spun
the serious debates, where leadership equates
into working as a collaborative identity

Green Party candidates can’t wait, now they’re out of the gate
to run this race with integrity
distorters and cheaters may be among the “competers”
the Green Party’s focus will be on their own quest

creatively united, expertise then invited
to support each candidate that enlists
to represent us, our candidates’ thrust
will be enhanced by local expertise that is welcomed

we’re in this together and it matters on whether
we turn up to participate in the game
it’s a whole lot more fun when the game can be won
by a huge team that is creatively united

we’re all invited!

let the game begin
all are welcomed in

let’s play!
