Wait and See

I know it's February because the radio told me so
But today the air was clear and the sun was high.
There was no wind to notice nor flecks of rain
and the birds sang loud as they wheeled about in the sky.

It must be global warming messing with the seasons
As spring comes in early and the buds begin to show.
I feel my soul getting easy and I relax
But mindful that even yet there could come snow.

It has happened before and new shoots died
As the cold weather snapped back at we fools
Who had dug out the garden benches and brollies
And had made plans for mowers and tools.

Far better to wait and let more days go by
To see if the moods of the weather gods settle.
Enjoy the changing vista of fields and gardens
From behind window glass waiting for the kettle.

This England?

We can be happy you and I
if we look around us in this England
we can choose if we stay or fly
and have food and clean water at our command.

Whatever we are told we do have clean air
- see how the lichen grows
and our rights though not written are there
and the whole world knows.

We can vote out shallow members 
and the corrupt do eventually stand trial
we need only fan the embers
of a system waiting in the wings.

Skylarks still sing in the fields
and Cabbage Whites are back in strength
we freely collect what nature yields
and can walk about after dark.

We can worship any God we nominate
or have none of it if we so choose
in protest we can march or congregate
and its only our energy we lose.

So think, and think again before you chase
sun-blessed places promising dollars or yen,
for truly this is a fair and free nation
and its like won't surface again.

OR
So however you think you are doing 
compare your life and be happy
living here is not so bad
its just the weather that's so crappy ......
