ARIZONA SHOOTING SPREE

Now when Obama spoke about
The Arizona shooting spree
He said, "We'll come together" as
In all our human tragedy.

If that is true why is it that
Humanity is torn apart?
If tragedies united us
The shooting sprees would never start.

Our tragedies divide us all.
The conflict over what we earn,
Beliefs for which we fight and kill,
Are two of many that we learn.

To come together we can't wait
For tragedies to lead the way.
If we don't start to banish them
Then with our lives we'll surely pay.

Together

ROYAL WEDDING

I wish them well and one more thing,
I hate this worship of the 'king'.
The 'king' continues to impart
The notion that we are apart;
And all the trappings of excess
Prove he's worth more and we're worth less.
If thinking thus remains the case
Humanity will end its race.
"We" is the state to be alive.
When separate we can't survive.
The monarchy can't end too soon;
I wish them, happy honeymoon.

CANCUN: COP 16

Cancun, the 16th time we flee
From dealing with reality
Though change environmentally
More certain deaths will guarantee!
How much more senseless can we be
To have a life philosophy
That puts a price on what was free
Until we reached modernity!

We face a common enemy,
Our vertical Economy.
As long as you need more than me
We won't be able to agree
On who will pay the biggest fee
To save all of Humanity.

Without agreement we will see
At COP's next Durban plenary
Repeated asininity,
The cause of our mortality.

WIKILEAKS

I give support to Wikileaks
With hope the secrets they reveal
Will show to all humanity
A life that's utterly unreal.

"They threaten our security"
Is such a primitive refrain
It seems that evolution has
Moved on without the speaker's brain.

The only threat leaks are to us
Is that they'll finally expose,
Like we who put our faith in them,
Our so-called leaders have "no clothes".

If Wikileaks can show us that
Our common life is not a game;
And consequently it we save,
I'll also celebrate its name.

TEARS

I thought tears might come from a well
That would eventually run dry.
But no, they're like the rain that falls
Which then replenishes the sky.
Although December tears are cold
And as drops hit they make cheeks sting,
It seems each season has its tears
And those in April make us sing.
