Notorious Carbonate

Notorious in the neighourhood

Notorious in the neighourhood
Life comes to those not afraid to dare
Truth or dare, dare to dream
From a time when the Portuguese were building Ports for sailing trade routes
A Belt and road for trade, sounds familiar,
History is always repeating reminding those who are listening that we must learn from mistakes in order to prevent a repeating.
Reset the great reset, achieved by
Corona, a crowning achievement,
but to return to the business as usual model will be our undoing as human beings.
Don’t take my word for it, listen to the science
A Carbon bubble of fossil legacy Carbon released in our half life times,
Is focussed on warming things up.
Can we return to our dream Goldilocks climate Just right for just how long if we just don’t wake up.
Ice caps are liquid, it’s not a good achievement
Tipping points debated, not a good firmament
Foundations getting funded without tender or due process
Foundations set on money are as shifty as the sand is,
A Rock of carbon we call Coal is equally suspiscious
A Coral rock is a firmament and naturally productive habitat
Who of us debates the truth is endangering all this and that.

” This coming Summer we expect the heat to drive the La Nina and produce something like four cyclonic climate events in the South Western Pacific Ocean” media sources warn.
” This coming summer we expect further bleaching and outbreaks of COTS and Drupella
‘Vampire’ snails” media sources warn.

Can we handle the truth ? Time to find out !

A week of creative isolation

Work of the week done, done and dusted some say
Sabbath or Sunday a rest day is recommended
Then Monday to Friday repeat if never ended,
What a brainwash, what a loss of time for the herd
Creative time not wasted time on folly of destruction
Industrial scale material consumption is disturbing the precious elements
Clear water ,clean air, living soil , biochar(fire)
The four elements of environment in nature
Necessary for all life , let us try to remember

So at this time you may say , “little did l know”
But little did you know the little that you knew about the flu
And the little that you knew has now grown to quite a lot
Remain unknowing , not an option, no excuse like l forgot.

Breathe deeply and consider what we all take as fore-granted
Our lungs and heart and unconscious mind are working like enchanted
No Sabbath Sunday day of rest for this wicked little trio
Keep that back beat thumping , breathe and go to Sea ho.
