A friend of mine shared a poem with me and with her permission I thought I’d share. It is something to ponder while our masters sell our assets and destroy our environment. What do you do to stop it!
In the Land of Ancients
By Vera
In the Land of Ancients,
before the end of time
I owed them two and ha’pence
but the planet was all mine.
There wasn’t much good water;
the birds had long been gone
but in that Land of Ancients
we sang loud my proud song.
We ate the soil, we burned the oil
we feasted without thought;
that species were declining
it meant to us but nought.
In the Land of Ancients
I took, I took, I took
we all took more than paid for,
with blinkered eyes I looked.
We built our towers,
prayed for powers
to deliver us yet more
and in the guise of ownership we stripped Earth to the core.
Oh wondrous Man,
how brightly we did shine,
how gloriously we marched
steadfastly to decline.
Yes, audacious few, they questioned,
they asked me to explain
why conquering Mother Nature
caused her so much pain;
Why acid carried in heavens tears
brought fears
of more sick
babes, and unimpressed by rhetoric
demanded that they know
why lake and river floated poisoned fish
so the economy could grow.
I told them not to worry,
my money brought good to all!
With Mans many achievements
we could all stand proud, stand tall!
In the Land of Ancients, before the end of time
I owed them two and ha’pence but the planet was all mine.
The sun still rises, the moon still falls, the stars bright in the sky
But in the Land of Ancients no man still asks why.
The walking dead people create death,
for their own funeral pyre,
in the name of equal opportunity for all,
to join their ranks,
in the web of political democracy,
a caccoon to wrap the corrupt from all walks of life,
as they all agree on an united pragmatism,
and take to task eventually the cycle of life itself,
for that is how the dead create.
Poignant and true!!!! Money and more money will solve everything but will not nourish and sustain Papatuanuku!!
never was a truer word said
