Bernard Barclay Poet Narrative

Solar Power Pumps

We could put solar-powered pumps into the pipe-lines
of desalinated water to push water up onto the mountains 
at minimal costs getting rivers to flow without needing rain
reducing dependency on natures supply 

Giving jobs unemployed reduces the costs to Governments
with water now on the national supply the farmers pay  
a water tax producing a profit's so you can relax
with bountiful havest's and straw for the cows

The farmers are happy with rain or without 
they now have the water of that there's no doubt
the companies also that need rivers flow
now live with plenty and don't need to go

Destroying your farmer is cutting your throat
they are our future we need these good blokes
they are the ones that supply us with food 
the foundation the lifeblood of good happy lands

Taking freshwater out the sea reduces to damage 
that melting poles create the harm that freshwater
could do to the sea stopping the heat and nutritional flow 
The oceans Thermohaline circulation system 

Unemployed people could become assets 
used by nations in a war on climate change
we could change the focus of people away from
fighting each other onto fighting climate change

we could use the knowledge of unemployed 
people to teach English or other languages
each person has different skills, 
sometimes we overlook the obvious 

unemployed people have skill's 
a nurse who is disabled from a car accident
can still teach people how to be a nurse
we need to become organized

Instead of penalizing people for being unemployed
bringing grief and problems to their lives, attacking them
as Centrelink is doing at present we need to be assets
to the people, helping then in the transition from suffering

back from the devastating effects of disability
from health or car accidents
back into the position 
of successful members of society

Week after week, people fight against 
governmental mistakes with governments 
demanding money from people that can't afford to eat 
we can do better we can invest and build the jobs 

put people into a job with newfound disabilities
into new employment where their bodies can cope
if they can't cope with a new job 
then they should be on a sickness benefit without problems

Governments get into power, based on the promise
we will make your life better. 
do your jour job, make our lives better. 
Teach the people to invest, fight climate, change stop wars.
