Nature will always triumph over mans lust for money and power. We are a strange species, indeed. The very premise that we would destroy our own habitat without giving thought to future generations is insane!
I’m not on about global warming, just your average eefit that doesn’t see anything wrong with pouring motor oil into a stream. And, the arses that know better but just don’t care. Yeah, I’m a tree hugger but not a hippy. Although, I was raised by ‘em.
Fresh, tall and colourful, they arise,
Dominating an ancient horizon,
Merely forgettable monuments
To the modern virtues of this land
Speculation is abundant,
Yet even more sprout,
All scramble; transfixed,
By their raw splendour.
Finally the wild brents have returned,
Perhaps weary and spent by foreign toils,
But, easily caught in the superb daze,
Of such a noble narcosis.
Politicians, lobbyist; the masses too,
Race to appease an insatiable craving;
Strive to conceive, produce and build ever more,
For pretentious opulence is their life’s pursuit.
However, the last days draw nigh,
When the harsh winter will engulf all,
And the unforgiving world, will,
Eventually destroy the wee tulip.
At least until the next season of exuberance,
When the ridiculous game will be reborn,
And eagerly embraced with revitalised mirth,
By the infinitely wiser sons of fortunate fools.
-Jefferson Davis-
