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
