Politicians Or Magicians
a world of opposites
where all life benefits
tis down to give and take
equilibrium make
all does swing left and right
keeping the balance tight
but then there cometh man
to oust nature he plan
resources he does claim
dominion is his aim
full of self-importance
he corrupts the balance
he ne’er will go without
and drivel does he spout
as he then justifies
with mass of frigging lies
and his politicians
playing at magicians
with magic wand they wave
to make nature behave
arrogance man displays
practising evil ways
a world once in balance
now hardly stands a chance
man now walks the tightrope
and he has little hope
from side to side he sway
and then he start to pray
