What right have we
To screw the world?
And leave it waste
For other beings
Those yet to come
And those aborted
By our blind and senseless
Cruelty.
Come nurture, harbor
And restore
Create, enhance, enrapture,
And safeguard.
Living less that others
Get the chance
To live at all.
Wasting less and leaving more
Why not toil to keep this world ?
One of millions
Yet the only one
That's home and core
To man and God
As best we know.
It's worth the candle
Let's trim the wick
Light up the world
For slow and quick.
We do not own
We simply borrow
A day, a breath
A house, a home.
Children come
And parents go.
The grave or cask
Our resting place
No rent or rates
Water charges or council tax
No views to sea
No noisy neighbors
Just the quiet chill
Of serenity
In the cypress bound
Local cemetery.
We work and toil.
We bake and boil
No word with love
Ever lost or stolen
