COP27 now
05:33

And Pelin decided against children
COP 27 now
Maturing
At least Mum's hope
Such brilliance, no fear
Open to all, to hear
And yet, wrong paths
Or delayed fasts
Like Augustine
Give me less
But not just yet
And Pelin decided against children
Pelin, aged 37 now
History to tell
Our path for all to see
Calm under pressure
Little to foretell
The future less clear
Except the lessons
Of those times passed
Misread or deceived
Calmly she ends
With smiles and resignation
And Pelin decided against children
At dinner, 67 now
Our credulous vet
Their stories retold
From media's fold
The stories moulded
Retreating in power
Socials present the hour
And monies to cower
Overwhelm, not new
So they claim
And Pelin decided against children
Shocker, 47 now
Jocks and darkness
And this is mature
Got a job, whatever
Boss talks, together
We're few, but supported
By money, influence
Ideology, freedoms
To deceive, relieve
Our leaders
Deceivers
For one more decade,
Receivers
And Pelin decided against children
Earth, 8 billion now
History on our side
Temporary, I'll decide
Drought and flooding plains
We still remain.
Our Neos, none tamed.
Hey 67, it's sunspots
Or Mediaeval
Or nuclear's the answer.
Now that there's a question.
Once naysayers, now protectors
Deception stays the norm
If numbers fall, agreement torn
But just one decade
Or more
Till we're all forlorn
And Pelin decided against children
And Pelin decided against children
Our historian of past and future
And we are all responsible

Unrelenting
05:47

Unrelenting that curve
If a blind from Covid
Once the butt of humour
Hockey stick
His dick, an alternate ascent
Not the stick
Bent here before
Read the socials
And the no shows
For sky vs weather
Together the link
What's a degree amongst friends
(Earth our friend?)
A few degrees on Tahiti
What we wish
When we deceive
Conceive in marketing
That line that sticks
She said it herself
"When we defined it as a tax, we'd won"
And yet it wasn't
Like the other claims
And yet we're intelligent
We say
And still we relent
"Collective suicide" was the line
Truer than tan
But let's not quibble
I have monies to make
Bosses to placate
Just another decade
Nah, that curve
Hockey? what stick?
Marketing schtick
Just us/we five
or so
But mouths to feed
Lies to plead
Misunderstandings to knead
Deceptions to feed
Anger to succeed
Until not
And then ...
Unrelenting that curve

The talking cure
07:22
|
|||
They're wondrous and not few
That query this choice
The ship and the bar
Simple, unadventurous
Yeah, true, not home
But new and the news
Understandings remain
Some challenge partaken
For connection, ...
Not forsaken, but human
Still human
Perhaps bananas or mangoes, says one
It's a start
Perhaps travel and pistol, says two
Taken aback, whoo!
But talk none-the-less
Sharing, understandings
At least there's some
People are people
Good and/to heart
But products of othership/society
Ideology, influence, truths
So travellers remain worthy
If problematic
Return to past
It's history again
Yes but no but
Just 250 years
Or 150 years
Our wealth and power
Stripped to few,
unsparing, barons
So denigrate, regulate
News say inevitable
Yet practice says now
But media says so
And conspiracies say no
If criticals say low
Test, quest / past, unmasked
Yet power and monies stay
Threaten, remain
For how long?
Is it time yet?
What's history? What's future?
So little test
Do my minor best
Talk of sunspots
67, floods and rain
Nuclear our gain
They too have their evidence
Schmevidence
The cherry picks,
The paid touts,
The one in 1000
Who hasn't yet relented
But I just hope to remain.
That history of future,
Twisted and dishonest,
Takes from the past
God help us
So it's just listen
and talk,
sometimes,
and stay calm
That's what works
If anything might
For the ills of the world
Need the Talking Cure.
Poor, but what more
can we do
It's so little, but due

Mars
05:52
|

Mars once had water
We look for far and wide
Clever rovers to confirm
Proof of our brilliance
Time, that
Looking out a window
Endless sea
Small carrier
Flipping, slipping
Sickness supporting
White caps cavourting
As far as (winter)
It's here that's living
Mars unforgiving
(Moon life slowing)
Water endless here
Rising with changes
One of many stages
Mars tells a storm
But we deny
For it's no debate
Delay, procrastinate
That joy and wonder
From the Moon
That vision
From Apollo
That crescent Earth above an end
Or better, over naught.
We must confess
Our many Earths
That we demand
Already
Our wealthy West
Our pinnacle of wealth
Preparing for the full ??? (Preparing for nought?)
For 10 billion into 1 may go
But 25 million Aussies into 7 is no
As Mars does show

Here's a theme for you, from Chat GPT
with just a little help, from Greta and me
-------
Listen up y'all, I've got a story to tell
About the world we live in and the problems we face
Got a crisis on our hands, a fight to survive
And I'm here to spread the word, gonna take it to the mic
Climate change is real, the evidence is clear
Temperatures are rising, the ice caps disappear
We've got hurricanes, fires, droughts and floods
Cos of the way we live our lives, treating Earth like mud
But it's not too late, we've got a chance to make a change
Reduce our carbon footprint, gotta interchange
Electric cars driving, windmills thriving
Solar panels shining, carbon levels diving
Gotta plant more trees, clean up the sea
Make the planet healthy, a place to be
Gotta recycle, reusable bags
Lower waste, reduce pollution, share our tags
Got my pen and pad, writing for the cause
Gonna spread the word, make the people pause
The future of the earth, is in our hands
Gonna take a stand, make change in the land
I'm hustling the hustle, with a purpose in mind
Gonna make a change, leave a legacy behind
Turbines spinning, solar panels shining bright
Reducing our footprint, making our Earth light
So let's work together, let's make a stand
For the future of our planet, for the good of man
Let's reduce our waste, let's turn off the lights
Let's make a change, for better for right
Climate is a crisis, we gotta act fast
Slash our emissions, clean energy at last
Gonna save the Earth, gotta do it right
Reduce waste, recast, turn off our lights at night
So listen to my words, hear what I say
It's time to take action, it's time to change today!
----------------------
Listen up brother, to this message we impart
We gotta act now, be fast, be smart
Climate change denial, it's just not right
We've got to stand strong, and put up a fight
Greta's voice is clear, like a beacon on high
She's leading the charge, with a will that won't die
The planet's in peril, this we can't deny
It's time to come together, and give it a try
The ice is melting, and the oceans are rising
The fires are raging, and the storms are surprising
But still some deny, and turn a blind eye
It's time to open up, and give the truth a try
We can't keep ignoring, what's right in front of us
We've got to take action, and make a big fuss
The planet is dying, and it's time we do our part
To protect posterity, for our progeny
So let's come together, and make a change
We'll join forces, gotta rearrange
The future we want, for the planet we love
With Greta as our guide, sent from above
She's shown us the way, and we'll follow her lead
We'll leave a legacy, make the future we need
Denial be gone, and let the truth be known
We'll save the planet, and make enduring home.
---------------
Denials can't hold us back, we'll break free
We'll rise above, with our own clarity
The future is ours, and we'll make it bright
We won't lose sight, of what is right
So come on and join us, let's make a stand
For the planet and future, for a better land
Climate change is real, and it's time we face
It's time we take action, and leave no trace.
---------------
Thanks ChatGPT
From Greta, and me
