the hours grew, each hour a day

time stood still, it lost its way

as the world unwound in a surreal space

as bewildered humans tried to face

nature’s wrath and nature’s dare

and too much time to stand and stare

but know that clean air is our saviour

perhaps it’s time we salute nature

halt our assault on seas and trees

love our creatures, birds and bees

love all colours of the human race

all religions… or none embrace.

come let us share the world as one

shed hate; with wealth and wars be done

let’s live in peace, let’s live with love

let’s ruminate on the joys of earth.
