SONGS OF EXPERIENCE

Japan is on your TV eye-but where i am
you cannot drink the Brisbane River waters(brown
and rains still pound from Tully to Cairns
Floods were just a month before/it takes forgetting longer
to remember Mother Nature is in control,
and how little is in our hands.They who championed
nuclear power for Austin cower Three Mile Island/Chenobyl
Fault lines and Texas as a spent fuel nuclear waste dump
Our groundwater wells polluted by benzene,gas,oil-now this..
Water as precious as blood or oil.Libya price rise
Airlines fees increase surcharges.Surrealism enters
when the cost of moving more than refugees across borders
Where i am the waters need be filtered/heat and humidity
Christchurch cheap flights to escape that earthquake
Where does CONTROL enter in to this?-except
when choosing renewable energy resources
letting wind and wave and sunlight supply all we need
letting dinosaurs be released,and the Third World be free
of economic colonialism,invasive occupations in the name of "democracy"
while we watch whole cities sink beneath the same waves
that took Atlantis and Lemuria ,long ago and far away
when they ,too,would not listen
to what you have to say..
