A never ending focus on
these manmade lines
Designed for our
safety, but designed to confine
Does any of this
actually mean anything?
Does having dual
nationality prepare me for more eventualities?
What is beyond our
control does not enlighten the person
I’m a no-name global
citizen with a purpose
And understandably,
while I focus on my love and on my family
I still elevate wider
humanity, see
That’s what matters
to me
Progress as a process
requires harnessing our energy
We’ve had growth
without prosperity
And now we have neither
Disappeared in the
ether
Take a step back and
find Mother Earth needs a breather
You think it’s easy
to please her
But her beauty is
intrinsically bound to deceive you
Into thinking she’s
unlimited, clearly she’s exhibited
The signs that she can
take no more of these derivatives
Unlimited subsidies
will be beyond prohibited
When people realise all
of the damage they cause
A series of flaws
A flaming ball of
wreckage like the track at Le Mans
But the problem with
the debate is not the intransigence
It’s that so many
issues are at the same resonance
Irrespective of
anything, oil isn’t infinite
We can’t keep forever
increasing our own use of it
Soon so expensive that
it will only be available
To tax exiles in St
Lucia and those in Monaco
The conflation of
climate change with other things we know
Ensures our response to
other issues is also slow
But that’s not what
is best for me or you
I don’t want to wait
until there’s shotgun duels over fossil fuels
Although some would say
it’s already started
With ever-more
dangerous tools
While a minority
monopolise the writing of rules
And my heart goes out
to all of those affected who are fatherless
Those in Fallujah,
cancerous and powerless
The person in jail who
made one mistake last year
The whistleblower
executed in oil-rich Nigeria
The millions of
families who have been foreclosed illegally
It’s all crime in the
way that it speaks to me
Believe me, when you
come to pick your battles
Energy and food
security alone will be a handful
But we also need
political stability
Replace profit
maximisation with relaxation and common decency
In the future, we will
take back our liberties
You may doubt me, but
it’s as simple as that
Everything we’ve
lost, we will recover tit-for-tat
My delivery may be
poor, but the words still have meaning
Read them back to
yourself if you don’t think that you believe me
If global warming is
only happening in our minds
Then how come in the
Arctic you’ve found new places to mine?
