Book Synopsis
Mine is not the only voice in the world
There are many some loud some not
Some of what I do may be a little clunky or repetitive
And there may be those who may not like my perspective
Yet if you can speak do so when you feel the need
The world is in a bad state
Some people keep trying
Yet a serious problem exists
And that is the way many
Including our leaders and many politicians
Defer us from what really matters
I will not compile a list here
Except to say there is much conflict and war in the world
And it is discernible that without my being personal
Or believing in conspiracies
I know many in power divert our thought from the issues of today
Those of the disastrous global warming and climate change
As well as the poverty of so many nations and people in this world
They talk up other matters
Finding enemies here there and everywhere
So we the people face up to that
Instead of what we need to do:
Help save the planet
Governments still run economics in terms of growth
Growth of goods and services
And growth of population
While what we need is the sustaining of the world
Something requiring a much more realistic approach
To what we have thought and done
Save the world
Save the people on it
And let the animals have space and life
So we can live alongside them
