Over Population

Paying rich women to have babies –

When over population is going to destroy us,

12 billion is the next unsustainable milestone

When half the world is starving already,

Or dying from lack of water

And millions of people are displaced

And we don’t welcome them, to our disgrace.

– Is everything that is wrong

With the world today

If you don't put the toilet rolls in the toilet roll dispenser at work around the right way, the toilet roll dispenser won't work.

And if you don't break that stuck down end of the toilet roll, the toilet roll dispenser won't work.

The person who puts the toilet rolls in the toilet roll dispenser at work, does not put them in around the right way,

Nor does that person break the stuck down end before those toilet rolls go in the toilet roll dispenser.

You'd think if it was your job to put the toilet rolls in the toilet roll dispenser you'd want them to be in the right way

So, the whole thing works properly, but that is not the case.

The person who puts the toilet rolls in the toilet roll dispenser at work does not care if the whole thing works properly.

You'd think if that was your job, you'd take pride in those toilet rolls always being around the right way,

Ensuring that the sealed end is always being broken, but no, they do not.

Do not be like the person who puts the toilet rolls in the toilet roll dispenser at my work.

Sometimes

Sometimes I worry

that I only write poems of ugliness,

there is no beauty in them,

just the worst of humankind

sadness,

and decline.

My stock in trade

what can I say?

The world is in decay.

Australia is Burning

Bush fires burning,

climate change yearning.

Hope in us all stalling,

the planet is falling

Politicians Fawning,

country people dawning.

The country is on fire,

Scott Morrison is a liar,

(And nobody wants to shake his hand)

The future looks dire,

we’re all being consigned to hell,

because of politician's promises

that will only benefit them in the end

Laugh

You have to laugh

To feel Life 

Martini?

The human race

is now a jet airliner

going into a death spiral,

while the passengers

are still wanting cocktails

from the cabin crew.
