We are in debt, to the internet,Which has opened horizons worldwideBut those less wise, themselves compromiseBy choosing this tiger to ride. Little is found, without the surroundOf advertising, (whom do they seek?)And such is the litter of uncalled for Twitter,The system’s beginning to creak. I am, to be sure, a hack and no more,With a …

Sea Eagle’s lecture on Human Studies.
Students! Stop your soaring! Come and perch by me.We are the true Sea Eagles and our Kingdom is the sea.The humans, whom we study, cannot leave the groundAnd travel far below us, often with much sound! Today, you’ll likely see, some boatloads cruising by,With tourists’ eyeballs peeled, our gyrations to espy,They are both proud and …
Quiet reflections.
Now I am alone, with no-one else to hear I can listen to myself, without the slightest fear That my words can be mistaken, or considered rude My thoughts, however frank, will not be misconstrued. So in this quiet moment, let me my conscience call, Let us assess together, those myths and stories tall, Which …
Looking back.
History is a record of all past events So continually adjusting, as ‘now’ becomes ‘before’ So can we conceive, what future minds will say Of our own experience, in future ‘Days of Yore’? Elizabeth the Faithful, as she may well be known Left her realm to Charles, her Son, amid her subjects tears, Aged Ninety-Six, …
Conservative Leader election
THE KING IS DEAD! LONG LIVE THE KING! A phrase both ironic and true Now Boris is gone, it has a new ring As we seek just one, from a few. What a laugh, what a joke, as the candidates seek To show off, with clichés so bland Not for us, the inhabitants, we are …
Where are we going?
Each day, we read, how we’re, so smart We invent and make more things, So if we are, let’s play our part, Make sure the work no evil brings. Progress is the general call, Most has a value true, But equally our minds can be Blinded by the selfish view. Again it seems self-centred greed …
What did I see?
When we say “I saw it!”,Perhaps we ought to say,We glanced at an imageBefore we looked away.When you draw you really look,The right shape to defineAnd so with Nature, really lookThe great beauty there to find.So in your Explorations,Look underneath the stone,In between the grassesFor they are not aloneHundreds of little creaturesEach with a life …
With deep regret.
Once again we mourn, the loss of a great soulWhose unselfish life was ended, by a selfish devoteeUnknown, his motivation, or his intended goal,But by his mindless violence, he killed a great MP. These belated words, just describe the great frustration.Of those who write, too late, their superficial linesKnowing, those who really need, their thoughtful …
What is Woke?
I have to admit, as a very old blokeI do not understand what is meant by ‘woke’,Seems to me, it confuses, what is just common sense,With misguided thoughts and the strangest pretence,That history can be, by vandals erasedHumanitarians, too, cease to be praisedIf not supported by the self-centred FewWho claim a right, to tell us …
Each of us matters.
We are not responsible, for decisions that were made_In olden times, before most of us were born.Such mistakes are more clearly seen, by the conscience of todayBut then, a Nation’s actions, obeyed a different norm. I will not make excuses for injustice done,By those who, for selfish reasons, ignored humanityBut let us not, with hindsight, …
