Nature's rules on balance

Nature's rules of engagement 
Being wise to the course 

Something is always unknowingly
Taken from us, us as a trade 

When we physically gain something
New a reward of sorts 

And we are given something in return 
Whenever something physical 

Is always taken away from us
A sacrifice or loss 

Do not over celebrate your gains 
Do not over lament on your losses

For you never know what nature 
Gave or took back in return 

To re-balance the equilibrium 
Of your life... for yin yang to fit 

Green is my colour

Green is my colour 

Nature's own sign of life hold 

Trees with leaves green 

The case on global warming heard

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 

A Miracle In Temple Quay

On the roof top at the No. one square 
Temple Quay where locations are set 
Seeing breath distance from the train station 


Temple Mead; where work men and women 
Gallavant  at a pace set in motion
Only privileged to the week day's hustle 


And just before 0900 and 1730 with starbuck cups
To and fro, to earn their keep 
Hunters in suits and ties, in office blocks 


"Tic, toc, tic, toc, Burry on the hurry, harry" 


Here where nature is altered 
And the trees that grounds, what few stands 
Are positioned and assigned by architecture 


"Placed to stand no higher than prescribed" 


And on the roof top, a miracle at No. one the square 
A life takes form to perfection of nature 
Repeated over the millenia as constant 


Hoovering up above on protection duty 
The seagulls warns off, intruders to alarm
From what miracle of life they nest 


On this busy patch of concrete architecture 
Where man runs in chase of time 
Nature just carries on with miracles, regardless 

This Natural World

Standing on the treadmill  
Of this life line, passing by, sleep walking 
With blinks of what we don't see flashlight 
Half of what we see, that we see  


To refuse to acknowledge  
Travelling through space  
Between reasons and understanding  
In no man's land 


I look up, into the heavens 
And constantly I am made aware
In acknowledgement, how insignificant we are  
For what we fight for, to own, to build 


Dead men's blood poured on this soil 
In battles fought long before, wasted  
Forgotten limps and medals of honour 
Stands, Colosseum, kings who ruled 


And Rome fell; long, long before invaders entered
This  artificial world we fight so  hard to own 
To trade friendship, to claim 
More fragile than the natural world around 


Rats, cockroaches  and ants, wild grass 
Constantly invading, pigeons and sea gull 
Rains insult on it's very grand gesture 
Constantly needing to be cared for 


To keep from rotten, this world, this life 
I breathe, the air that surround 
And  instantly I am made to appreciate 
What mother nature has offered  so freely 


This world, this life opened landscape 
I see mountains, forests, seas and valleys 
This naturally world to have lived in 
I give thanks, each day, each day I give thanks
