Kings and Queens

Kings and queens
Neither rich
Nor liveried,
Pass in the street.

The Time Has Come…

[Meeting Minute 1207]

The time has come the old men said
To talk of many things
Of late breakfasts, and of soup de jour,
The joy that luncheon brings.

Anthropocene

“…maybe it’s the time of man…” Joni Mitchell, Woodstock

     

And still, no-one called the self-made mad…

6th Extinction

We are fire; we are brimstone;
A thousand grains of poison;
Corrosive rain drumming.

Ah, tide is rising, the tide we made
With our grinning moon faces
And our lust for power.
