Above politics

We are all part of the political landscape, And from that there is no escape, Even if on the moonscape. We do however have the power to change that landscape, If we do not bow and scrape, But instead vote for those in better shape, To rearrange the streetscape. Maybe now it is time to come out from behind the cloudscape For a better view of the streetscape, And get out your trowel to scrape, Til you see yourself in the landscape, From which there is no escape, But in which we all play a part in how to reshape, If we want our children to be in better shape, Than those of us who only stand and gape, From above the political landscape.

Thanks David. Politics is part of our daily lives it seems but common sense and kindness can reduce the harm if we are not completely selfish or should that be self-centered. We have had unseasonal rein here but sun now out and lawns are waiting to be mowed before New Year. Best regards for 2024 David in NZ
