Some Future?

With our conditional sunshine,
and smoke-filtered rain,
we alter nature's colours and 
flush our future down the drain.

See our choking oceans
and there's no expanding ice
we harvest shrinking forests
beneath El Nino skies.

Cars, cars and still more cars
designed to feed our yearning
no problems to the planet as 
they are catalytically burning.

The fish are going, tigers too
let's make haste to the moon
for it will be our only refuge
if we don't do something soon.

My Friend the River

From the wide mouth of the Estuary
To the stream beyond the road
Flow the waters of my river
Muddy, salt and cold.

A rebirth occurs twice daily
Through all the seasons weeks
With recharging of the Marshes
And new filling of the creeks.

Its spawned life along its banks
With folk of special breeds
Who learned to fish and farm there
To provide for tribal needs

There's constancy, which comforts
And always lets me know
That whatever happens in my world
The river will ebb and flow.
