Poems

The weather forecast does have rain for today
And behind the low gray clouds the sun hidden away
A chilly though dry morning of around five degrees
And freshening winds across the foothills soughing in the pine trees
...

You complain about Climate Change but it is worthy of note
That on election day that for pro big business candidates you choose for to vote
You did have your chance to make a pro environmental statement and now you complain
Of a dry and brown countryside crying out for rain
...

That action speaks louder than words ever true
Leave it to others to praise you if of praise you are due
Quite boring the braggarts of every public bar
Who enjoy telling others of how marvelous they are
...

In many human beings success to big egos does seem to give rise
Though this in itself is not any surprise
Praise to the mind often not a good thing
This is what happens when many your praises does sing
...

Of a proposed plan for zinc mining in Millstreet on the Millstreet website i does read
If such does materialize who knows to where it might lead
There may be some jobs in the local area for a short term financial gain
But when the mine resources are exhausted for the locals years of environmental pain
...

I am of the place where the waterways meet
In the green rushy fields near the Town of Millstreet
In view of Clara Mountain from here far away
Where i would be a stranger to many today
...

The baby born yesterday is one day older today
And time on her or his existence is ticking away
Youth with anyone does not have a long stay
Nobody gets younger in truth one can say
...

Every life form as well as humans that walk, swim, fly and crawl
Share one thing with each other in common Mother Earth does feed us all
Yet many of us humans who should know better this does not seem to realize
We have made huge advancements in many ways but we have not grown more wise
...

I have been rather lucky in truth i can say
In the beautiful people i meet every day
People to help those doing it tough who go out of their way
Out of kindness without expecting any pay
...

The past only lives on in your memory
Of what was for you but can never more be
We can only live in the now when all is said and done
And tomorrow will dawn but not for everyone
