" Use your loaf in life "
........................................
The mathematician enthuses
About the law of probabilities
And drones on boringly
About equations and formulas
Mad scientists play at being God,
Seperating man from the divine
They tear down our churches,
And replace them with mosques
And across the divide,
Our politicians share the spoils
I smile within
At the futility of it all
They think they are smart
With their clever devices
Hoodwinking the masses
Or so they think
The man in the street
Knows more than they realise
You can't fool all of the people
All of the time
I lazily stroll across the lawn
Admiring the snowdrops
With their heavenly show
A grey woodpecker drums
Upon an ancient oak
The wood pigeon coos soothingly
You know spring is alive and awake
I sit down on a sheltered park bench
And gaze dreamily across the pond
A moorhen breaks cover suddenly
With a terrific splash
The little grebe dives
Down under the pondweed
The spring sun dapples the trees
In shades and hues of gold
Wafting lavender scents the air
As I ponder Man's lust for and misuse of power
And the intrinsic beauty of it all
Is that really my friend
They just haven't a clue

I very sadly believe that you are right, my friend - especially about those politicians these days - and their lust for spoils.
Amen, brother, Amen! Well said; bravo!
