Ballad of Blunder

Man rules the earth, but watch his ways, For they are quite insane. The greed that’s rooted in his core Drives him always to gain. He just can’t accept give-and-take For he has one-track brain. He blunder forth and not realise He's speeding to his own demise. He thinks he’ll keep one step ahead, As disease spreads worldwide. He's confident he’ll always win, And life is one free ride. He's in a race and very soon, He'll hit the Great Divide. He blunder forth and not realise He's speeding to his own demise. Before too late, perhaps he should Look closely at his game, To see where his ways taking him And accept he's to blame But still his greed grows more and more And yet he feel no shame. He blunder forth and not realise He's speeding to his own demise.

Hello Tony ... couldn't agree any more with you. Money is treated as a God now so humanity better watch it before Mother Nature says she's had enough - thank you Tony - Lindsay

Many thanks Lindsay. We worship wealth, take it by stealth and care not for our planet's health. Take care. Tony
