Big Job

Listen to poem:
Big Job There's a big job breaking out Time for smelling salts and focus There is no magic wand this time No top-hat hocus pocus Time to wheel out heavy gear Flex our muscles and get busy Pick ourselves a loyal team With dreams so high they're dizzy There's a big job breaking out And it's clear we need to fix this Sticking plasters just won't do For this world defining crisis Labourers to garden, Experts in their field Anyone who cares enough To bring this crop to yield Shoulder to the grindstone Knuckles cracked and ready Wrestle with the challenges And climb to heights so heady Engineers and carpenters Housewives,  teachers, leaders No time to waste. No shirking off. Ask everyone to heed us There's a big job breaking out Blue lights are flashing by Too much plastic in the ocean No more ozone in the sky.. We need healers for creation For neglecting all our duty The reflection may be ugly So it's time to bring back beauty Jinjagoliath 10th February 2021
