Four Quiet Seasons - One Very Loud Man

Four Quiet Seasons - One Very Loud Man

A Poem by Neville
"

the truth as I see presently see it

"

Four Quiet Seasons One Very Loud Man

 

Would you please just look at me,

I tend to oscillate and go

around and around in increasingly

unpredictable circles,

chasing my tail, yet hardly making

  even the faintest sound ..

But if the truth was only known I’m

  like some old pendulum ..

Just going to and fro or should that

  be tooing and frowing ..

Now whilst there are four distinct

seasons in total, each

one of us is quietly, but markedly

different from the other

  in both approach and disposition ..

However, take note

  things are changing all too quickly ..

Gaea’s resilience,

her integrity and infrastructure are

being compromised

by virtue of mans greed, selfishness

and unquenchable

thirst for power and control that now

all rule over empathy

  love, honour, loyalty and compassion ..

I thought this was about me Nev, right up until the point you mention four different seasons, each markedly different from the other. You lost me at that part! 😃
But yes, us pesky humans are destroying the planet and show no sign of changing for the better any time soon. So it looks like well all go through getting baked or frozen to death. Well its either that or join the Muskateer to Mars... so baked or frozen it will be then. Knowing my luck I'd be stuck sitting next to the creepy lizard! 😃

The seasons come the seasons go, and the years pass even quicker. And as the years pass I do not feel at all confident for the future of our planet or the people populating it. There are kind compassionate people and then there are the others, the dictators and destroyers. It’s all rather frightening. One thing I am certain of is that Gaia will have the last laugh. She may well be compromised now, but the way things are going, our species will self destruct. That’s when Gaia will recover fully. There’s joyful for you. A subject that must cross the minds of all deep thinkers and lovers of our incredible planet earth. Lots to ponder here Neville over my brandy and lemonade.

at least we are on the same wavelength our Chris .. & that alone is incredibly reassuring .... read more
Feels like a restless soul pacing its own cage, honest enough to admit the spin and still keep talking.
There’s a quiet weight in it—like the world’s damage and the mind’s drift are cut from the same worn cloth.

Lorry is good people. I'm just a jerk. Be friends with your friends.
