We are in a viscous cycle leading us to a future where global conglomerates, focussed purely on profit, pay puppet governments to turn a blind-eye to the rape of the planetary resources and fund people —not to do productive work— but to spend their assigned income consuming the conglomerates’ products and services.

Trees — the ultimate not-for-profit entity?
When you look at a tree —perhaps you are walking in the woods— what is it you see?

The liars are winning …
Over this lifetime I’ve been disabused of many views. Beliefs I once held inviolate have been challenged and toppled … yes, this IS just another bleating rant, sorry. I need to let off steam from time to time.

Poet Spotlight — Julia Vinograd
I thought I’d do an occasional feature spotlighting some of my favourite poets and-or poems. Here I spotlight Julia Vinograd — very probably my favourite poet ever.

No need to read …
When I’m down —working through life’s stuff—I need to write; even though what I write may make no sense, still the stream needs to flow to paper. As electricity to earth. This is such a piece. I don’t expect it to be read. Readers may move along now.

REBLOG: A Poem From 2084 – Frank Solanki
Thank you Frank. This is a poke for those of us still not awake to the reality we are leaving our children and their children.
It’s not the politicians who will determine the end. It is us. You and I. Each of us are jointly and severally responsible. Our actions, each and every one, each and every day; there’s what will determine the fate awaiting our children.
I’ll leave the stage here to Frank now.
The world is getting hotter and
The sun burns with a rage
My dad claims it’s a punishment
To live in this day and ageI suffer my ancestors’ past
Who left this world a mess
Waved red flags but reveled
Momentarily neverthelessThey wore face-masks I am told
For a brief period or so
Found it highly inconvenient
To inhale or to blowI wonder how those folks would have
Survived in this atrocity
When we dare not step outside
Without a full-body PPEWell I guess what’s done is done
Who is and is not to blame
Now that no new child is born
We’ll be the last to play this gameShoutout to my friend, Tony T (@sonofgod) for his generous support for my writing. Do check out his blog (tltatemakeover.com).
