how to save the earth
do we use our brains in life
or become compost
how to save the world
do we make gains with our brains
and provide compost
Good humour here, but whilst you think of how, there are some that still wonder if...
Thank you so much, Aniruddha. Yes, there is that chance of paralysis...and the resulting no action...
read my poem use your Brauns and for ever on the floor remain yoUng man MJL
The Almost Bukowski poet does it again! He takes a very serious subject, adds a dash of humour and great philosophy..and bingo...Masterpiece!
Ha Ha Ha! if George Carlin had gotten into the poetry business he might have wrote something like this (but with added vulgarity) . It seems that since the 20th century we've been obsessed with that question of helping the world, yet for all the brain power we are still messing it up! . Maybe we should just compost. Funny M.J. but there's also a great sadness behind these words. Profound sound pretentious so I will say your well grounded.
Kevin, thank you so much! Yes, Carlin did flash in my mind when I edited this version. I was also listening to Dangerfield. I absolutely agree with you about Carlin. I think if he were still here, he'd tell us to stop helping save things! ! That would actually help! !

I would like to translate this poem
Instead of becoming compost, we have to provide compost! All are obsessed with the question of saving the Earth! Instead, we should think of saving ourselves. Then only we will be able to save others and the Earth! A serious topic is made light with a dash of humor with utmost brevity! I feel it is the hallmark of the poems of M. J.
Thank you so much, Valsa! These days especially, I think there is great need for a- -any- -dash of humour.
