Scenes
Of sustainability
It seems dreams are slipping
the mould is sold and broken
Past, present, and future,
Are just another notion
A world turned upside down,
So many people are grieving,
We watch the news and wonder,
It seems beyond believing.
Things have changed forever,
They’ll never be the same,
Parts of the planet are dying,
Like an ill wind, corona came.
The past is fast receding,
The present’s full of fear,
The futures like a suture,
Nothing is clear.
It’s a sign to take the time,
To do things differently,
And explore the open door,
In light of the epiphany.
In a world we hurled
into another age,
And many things seem upside down,
On another page.
Now’s the time to re-think,
Things we say and do,
New ways of doing things,
And to think it through.
Scenes of sustainability,
Embracing a new order,
Past, present and future,
And correcting the disorder
