Companions

Just lately politicians noses have got stuck on playing God, as they debate a law for all of us that I consider odd. What business is it of ours, to choose and vote who marries who - it’s up to couples who they choose; not politicians, me or you. We all need a companion so it’s up to them to choose; so why involve the rest of us, with our interfering views. The whole damn thing keeps irking me, so I went bush for a stroll out among the wilderness that Mother Nature does control. And while in this seclusion, I sat down to have a spell; there was this calm and beauty, and its a place where I could tell, among the native flora, there is no domineering done. Nature lives in peace and harmony; companions as one. To me it seemed so simple, but of course, nature never is. Each living thing has reason, so its a complex hard to quiz, so the world that lives around me is the way it’s meant to be, and will live on forever, unless wiped out by you and me. Not often there’s a standout, among the multi-rainbow bloom. Companions fertilize each flower, that I will assume, is to gorge upon sweet nectar while the pollen’s moved around; eventually the fertile seeds will be spread upon the ground. This becomes a natural bank, if in time there is a need, when the raging bush-fires blacken all, but generate the seed, then companionship and harmony will in time return, for Mother Nature won’t bear vacuums - something that I should learn. So while politics empowers us, and the dollar rules as God, There’s no profit in harmony; in this current world that’s odd. There’s no room for companions, that survived for many years, without a straight line or bricks and mortar - and future fears.

Lindsay, your writing totally blows me away. Your honesty is most admired by me. I am in a space of not willing to be honest and forthright any longer. I know this won't last long. But it's a dark space. I prefer playing full throttle and to heck with not being liked. Panagiota. Thanks, Lindsay

Hello Panagiota … you know, I think as writers we all go through that dark period, and then different moods, which comes out in our writing. I feel that most of your verses come from deep in your heart and this I enjoy reading - thank you Panagiota - Lindsay

Hello Tom … yes, there are times when we need to find that little nook where we can stop our world and focus on what is around us before its all destroyed in the name of progress - thanks again for your support Tom - Lindsay

Thank you Funom … your comment is very encouraging. Perhaps in schools, teaching of the importance of the environment is needed, but unfortunately greed is more important - thanks again Funom - Lindsay

Hello there Bob … you're building me up a bit here when in reality I'm just an ordinary bloke who enjoys humour, poetry, and as Jan said below, I feel attached to nature and fear for the destruction of their homes - thank you for your fine comment Bob - Lindsay
