Bernard Barclay Poet Narrative

Investing Dreams

Perhaps creating too many companies
would use to much of the world resources 
yet investing in farms would grow more crops

Perhaps creating more companies
would use up the world's resources 
yet perhaps, what we need most, is entertainment

Even during the war
they realised that their troops needed fun
even during war they realised

to have a settled army
you need entertainment
stimulate the troops to keep order

perhaps we need a certain percentage of our wage
locked in to providing entertainment
employing the unemployed 

for jobs that create an entertaining world
why should we waste money
and get nothing in return

We focus on profit
and yet what we need most
is to focus on life 

perhaps
what we need is companies,
that improve the world's resources

our sea's depleted of fish
perhaps fish farms 
would be the path to take

we already have salmon farms
perhaps investing in more 
would be a good idea

perhaps it's solar power
that creates the greatest growth
investments can improve the world

working together investing every week
we could build farms
to restock our oceans

we could build farms
to feed the starving people
creating jobs so they can afford to buy

we could build solar power
to create a cleaner air
we could create desalination plants

to turn our deserts into farms
we could rebuild the forests 
to create a living home

as human beings we could see 
the problems we share
as hurdles to overcome

Perhaps other people 
have better ideas
hope they lead to a better world
