			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p style="text-align: left;">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!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;m not on about global warming, just your average eefit that doesn&#8217;t see anything wrong with pouring motor oil into a stream.  And, the arses that know better but just don&#8217;t care.  Yeah, I&#8217;m a tree hugger but not a hippy.  <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Although, I was raised by &#8216;em</span>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Fresh, tall and colourful, they arise,<br />
Dominating an ancient horizon,<br />
Merely forgettable monuments<br />
To the modern virtues of this land</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Speculation is abundant,<br />
Yet even more sprout,<br />
All scramble; transfixed,<br />
By their raw splendour.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Finally the wild <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Goose">brents</a> have returned,<br />
Perhaps weary and spent by foreign toils,<br />
But, easily caught in the superb daze,<br />
Of such a noble narcosis.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Politicians, lobbyist; the masses too,<br />
Race to appease an insatiable craving;<br />
Strive to conceive, produce and build ever more,<br />
For pretentious opulence is their life&#8217;s pursuit.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">However, the last days draw nigh,<br />
When the harsh winter will engulf all,<br />
And the unforgiving world, will,<br />
Eventually destroy the wee tulip.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">At least until the next season of exuberance,<br />
When the ridiculous game will be reborn,<br />
And eagerly embraced with revitalised mirth,<br />
By the infinitely wiser sons of fortunate fools.<br />
