Those who claim the intellectual high ground Whilst denying climate change is happening Are labouring under a misnomer Deniers are like ostriches with heads stuck in the ground Blind to hearing and seeing the evidence Provided by people who are rooted in science And spent their whole lives studying this They are the experts they…

Move the pieces Slot them in place, Life’s like a chess match Do you play it safe, Or go for glory All guns are blazing, As if we are amazing Or are we consistently failing, And does it matter As long as we are trying, From when we’re born Until we are dying, There’s so…

I need some time to think Life has pushed me to the brink, Too much stress, too much pressure Too much work and not enough leisure, My head is full of chaos and of crisis And negativity frequently entices, Me into a state of fight or flight I know that this just is not right,…

Imagine no all power governments, banks and corporations driving the need for us to work for money, the work and the money…

I wonder if you star gaze and ask what are we here for? Why is it we spend so much time scurrying around working, trying to earn money to keep us solvent, while ignoring everything that’s around us. We barely notice nature in all its beauty and finery, and miss the magical things in life…

There are those that Drain your energy, Drain your money, Drain your resources, Drain your time, While telling you they hate you While constantly abusing you, Yet who fail to understand That without your energy, Without your money, Without your resources, Without your time, They’d be destitute and homeless Yet still you’ll not find them,…
