Bigfoot
BIGFOOT
I woke up this morning
Sooty footprints everywhere
In the kitchen, on the patio
In the bathroom, on the stair
There were footprints black as carbon
Hanging heavy on the air
And the paper lying on the mat
Said “Bigfoot’s here. Beware!”
…..Bigfoot’s eyes
…..Are on the prize
…..And never mind the cost
…..If we don’t cut him down to size
…..And soon
…..Then all is lost
Now I thought Bigfoot was a myth
It seems that’s not the case
And he’s not just in the U.S. now
He’s all over the place
He’s hosting feel good TV shows
With a big grin on his face
And there’s no escape from Bigfoot
He’s already up in space
…..Chorus
Bigfoot’s running factories
Churning out miracle pills
Bigfoot’s running colleges
Teaching vocational skills
Bigfoot’s got a master plan
For curing all our ills
If you see Bigfoot heading your way
Don’t panic, head for the hills!
…..Chorus
Bigfoot’s in the shopping mall
Signing up recruits
Handing out Rolex watches
And free Armani suits
Opening concessions
On all the major routes
Something tells me Bigfoot’s getting
Too big for his boots
…..Chorus
The government keeps on talking
About how much they care
The subject’s global warming
… Or is it just hot air?
The thing they really care about
Is Bigfoot’s market share
But Bigfoot paid for the election
So I suppose it’s only fair
…..Chorus
I eat apples from South Africa
Drink coffee from Peru
Drive a brand new 4 by 4
And collect the air miles too
Hey, why worry about this stuff
When there’s nothing you can do
My carbon footprint’s through the roof
And I’m a Bigfoot too
…..Bigfoot’s eyes
…..Are on the prize
…..And never mind the cost
…..If we don’t cut him down to size
…..And soon
…..Then all is lost
The Real Deal
THE REAL DEAL
Phoney connections
Sully and diminish us
And over time destroy
Our precious connection
With Soul and Spirit
While true connections
Nourish those involved
Allow Soul and Spirit
To come forward
And be recognised
String Of Lights (30c)
STRING OF LIGHTS
Uniting
Poets illumine
Your dark night
Of the soul
Passing the torch down the years
Lightening the load
~~~~~~~~~~~
Just Say No
JUST SAY NO
That which will not bend
Is in danger of breaking
Or else of being broken
Then again there are times
When it is time not to bend
Lest one’s soul be broken
The Artist
THE ARTIST
You live through Your art
And speak through Your creations
Their message? Thou art
The Mysteries Of Time
THE MYSTERIES OF TIME
this summer day
for the first time
waking to reality
to heart
growing
open to a new view
without boundaries
a quiet space
creative
souls in process
lifetime after lifetime together
at any time
take a moment
where the winds are not felt
where you can find peace
you will know warmth in your heart
always
soon
