A poem that peers out on the world about me. 21st November 2017 a Red Admiral butterfly went past, it should be cold, its mild.


Poem Artwork

I hate to use

words that made me cringe

long ago

when I was just a kid,

but it is true

'In my day'

when it was winter

it was different

now I am confused.

You see the Oaks

are still holding

onto leaves

Butterflies in November

aw! come on please,

even a big fat Bee

hovered around me

confused as I

he appeared to be.

It is mild

though sometimes it bites

but it is not like

'In my day'.

I mean it's odd

no gloves no scarf

even saw a Rainbow

in the sky,

creatures that used to hibernate

still running around

even a some nesting Parakeets

that are not indiginous

of suburban London's land.

Even the weatherman

looks confused

next week rising to

14c.

I guess I should not be surprised

this Earth is changing

fast before our eyes,

just wonder when

it will reach that point

when chaos breaks forth

as it surely will.

So sad to see

what mankind has done

ruined this planet

a jewel that basks in the Sun,

filled the seas

with plastic and filth

then destroy each other

with atomic waste.

I want to mention

Gods point of view

but shall decline

he will act soon,

however I will

leave it to you

Revelation 11 verse 18

describes what he will do.

An apt description of what is happening in world as we go our way of "lowest-cost "buying and extravagant waste with our "disposable income." We are as much at fault as those we blame. In order to bring things back into the natural order we will have to change our lifestyles as well as force those transgressors to stop.

One of the words that makes me cringe is a misuse of the word, it's (a contraction of two words, it is) and its (possessive… Owned by it).
