My roots and me

Where my roots lie 
Between civilization and lost worlds 
That sprung, flourished and vanished 
In a twinkle of an eye 

Where is Atlantis 
The Kings and Queens 
The high society and low class 
That once lived here 

The jewelry and sliver spoons 
The clay bowls and wine jugs 
The soldiers and debt collectors 
The beauty and the beast 

Where are all the old souls 
That passed away what of the young
and vibrant between space and the universe 
What form are they taking now 

Light as a feather or as heavy as a rock 
To become strangers in their own land 
Long forgotten and of their essence 
Are we ghost, souls of the dinosaur 

Where does my root lie, 
Between civilizations and the lost world 
Between yesterday and today 
In a twinkle of an eye 

The Sun the Moon in Court

When the Sun and the Moon 
Came to court, seeking redress 

The sun will not future the moon 
Something to do with a misunderstanding 

Of how many hours a day one works 
A' w' works more, w' works the most,  w' works best

Some would say the sun started this acrimony   
Calling the moon lazy and empty without life  

A scrounger, needing the sun 
To define its value, always in after favour  

The moon replied with anger, what! 
When all this started in the beginning of earth time 

It was a favour I did you Sun of man, 
And of the nine planets;

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and the rest 
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto 

Earthlings refer to you as a God Apollo 
Giver of life and light in the day 

What of me, what do I get 
An unsung hero

Who brings light to the night 
When you can not reach 

And allow lovers to court in romance 
Walking under the moon light hand in hand 

Yet even a kid as Cupid playing with arrows  
Gets the recognition, stolen from me 

I guide some religion, to fast with prayers 
On full moon, for yet another God to be worshiped 

I bring the high tide in, the fishes depend on me 
For the sea to rest its dance the night 

I give the wolves their voice  to howl 
To sing and hunt the night in joy 

Yet you will question my worth 
Because I am not a dummy god 

Don't you forget Sun of t' nine planets don't you forget 
I can eclipse you, when it comes to Earth 

Long enough for earthlings  
To question your status as god, long enough 

Mind you 
Long enough 

Dead Earth

Fish-less dry river  

Trees with no skin, naked log  

The rock has no life 

The case on global warming heard

Global warming ubx (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

First; court rise, case number "blue planet"
To be heard, for or against, friends all be seated  


Wake the rainbow it just went to bed
Lazy cow w' glitter, was it not meant to be as round


Shake the rivers they just dozed off 
Another lazy bunch halts, holding back waves


Oh and what of the breezy stifling air
Caught entangled with stink, so out of character


Never mind t' fire with artificial flames, the sun
Skiving off and keeping us cold then to scorch 


Not the rain again, setting records wet
To flood and flood and drench and drought  


The soil is dry yet another scandal to hold
Sat in a web strange waiting on the elements


While they argue amongst themselves regardless of audience 
On if  when or who it is to be blamed for global warming


O my coffee just went cold, thanks for the distraction 
All rise, I am going to warm it up in the microwave 

Dangerous Intelligence

Brain in a jar 
Brick wall built 
I know best 


Whales on reverse parking  
Elephants doing a spin on break dance floor   
Ever heard an educated man, being so naive?   


There is nothing more dangerous than that, I say
When such beings, go fanatical with their beliefs   
Refusing to budge, crazy on the subjects   


Life is transformational, seasons too 
We sleep, we wake, we grow an inch  
Or lose an inch, depending on stage 


On the line of the ageing  scale, where 
We stand on reference, as referenced post 
'Don't take the mickey your time will come son'


In-between all that 
We evolve, we adapt, we upgrade 
And learn our lessons in, class out, school out 


Graduation stands, just as symbols of passage
University of life, the obstacle course
Now that is where, real life lessons are learnt 


True story, everything here on earth   
Changes shape to adapt,  "in thinking" 
Water from solid, liquid to vapour and reversed 


Even the earth tectonic plates 
Are in constant change  on route 
Shifting now is the horn of Africa   


But when a man with educated intelligence 
Holds thoughts with no sway
Like brain in a jar, brick wall built


Like the stand still 
Of the revolving door, earth 
Innocent people end up suffering
