I doff my cap to the BBC’s stunning series called ‘Frozen Planet’ (Catch up on iplayer) which has captured the extreme frozen poles in an amazing deluge of picture perfect realism and tell it like it is, approach.
Help me
The programmes approach to dealing with the effects, causes and irrefutable proof of our planet changing and changing fast.
The thin slither of gas which encompasses the giant rock we call home is being poisoned slowly and the symptoms of a fever like state are beginning to emerge. Just like our immune system , the earth is beginning to fight back through heat generation.
It’s amazing how the life giving planet acts just like our bodies immune systems so when under threat from micro-organisms (which is what we are in planetary terms) it too turns up the heat to tray and destroy the problem. Unfortunately we are the problem.
A moment to ponder…
The fight for human civilisation, is won
the challenge of keeping it, has just begun
how clever, we walk the earth on wheels
a journey we take, and take and take
I am sorry to generations to come, we forsake you.
We inherited the garden, but even believers, destroy his Eden
presidents and leaders deceive us, but we know
corporations and business pretend to be eco, but we know
species die, for this, I sigh, looking around an ordinary guy.
With business as usual, I wonder
when nature, raped and pillaged, so cruel, but no fool
will decide, our party is over, we loathe her
A car too far, our actions, her reactions
governments will fail, our society will frail
What will we do.
For the generations to come
An apology in advance, for not taking a stance
for not doing more, as we learn, what’s in store
These children we raise, will suffer far more.
Humanity duelled, with this garden so cruel
But when it’s too late, will we realise our fate
blame men in power, no actions, her reactions
when it’s too late, our climate will anger
humanities fate, only our children will know.
