just another day

It’s just another day
The snow has come to bring us cheer
And brighten up a cold new year
If we are wrapped up we can play
Forget the past its dead and gone
Lets hope that this year is the one

The one that lets us see beyond
The tiny fish in a tiny pond
When did our foresight disappear
We used to know by eye and ear
This was a gift we let it go
Being civilised has made us so

We have to try so hard to know
What was so easy years ago
Sophistication is all for show
Primitive beings we certainly are
But we have lost the knowledge that made us appreciate,
that which lives all around us

Our arrogance knows no bounds
We devour our world like baying hounds
No thought of any but pennies and pounds
The price is something we will not know
But our grandchildren will surely despise us so
For the havoc that lies all around us

This world is only leased
What fool would rent to tenants such as us

My uncle Terry said to me when i was a child the most destructive creature in the world is man.
