Spin

Desertification in the Mallee, Victoria.
I never stopped the world
the world it never stopped me
until the day I forgot to pay
homage to nature’s way

the time I wrecked the world
was the time the world wrecked me
my influence and consequence
heated it by degrees

oh it kept spinning assuredly
you might claim there was no problem
but on the surface I
directed its death and then some

I am man,
I said I can.
What am I bid?
So, I did

Wetlands

Morang wetlands
Where the water is the sky
and sky blue is water too
I sit and with my eye
nature's perfection do I spy
