Y2K
The year 2000's on the way
The new millennium's almost here
To write January 1, 2000 will be weird
Star Trek's beam me up Scottie was
A far out idea
But now the space shuttle goes up
Several times a year
The crew of seven went up that day
(don't look up to watch it burn)
they had no fear, now

Through Millenium
Equilibrium
Quite unique
To search as deep
Receptive through initiative
You are ready to live
Acceptance through decendants
Your future show evidence
Spread your wings
Time to sing
Allowed yourself to rise
No love devides
Oh fearless warrior
Enjoy your endeavors
Stability has been restored

Millenium Eve - Waking Up In Avalon
Somehow it seems sacriligious
To impose
A day's order on a day like this.
The space between sleeping night
and waking day stretches elastic
as if I occupy a hole in time.
Others pass by
and disappear,
but the mist lies magic below
promising a day of enchanted delights.
Today
or tomorrow
I shall wake up

2019
The first decade
This millennium
Ends. 2019 ends.
What's in store for the next decade?
Shall we fly to Mars and live there?
Hard to predict the unknown.
Lots of surprises.
Just wait and see
Goes the maxim.
We only know the past
And the ongoing present.
The future is oft unknown.

A Millenium Day
Unicorns and Amazons
chasing in a derby race;
what a noble thing for us to see!
Saint Peter tapping-out the rhythm
whilst old Gabriel leads a tune,
and Saint Francis sings harmony!
Mary and the Ladies hence-
spin and play
making and baking!
The Heavens envelop
and Eden's times are warm-
Man, Earth and Love!
Rhymes that make no reason
seem all splendid in this season-
betwixt has

The Crescent Moon and the Millenium
So deaf, so blind are we-
Our little minds (judgmentally inclined )
base judgments on assumptions,
not on related facts !
So, on and on, the squirrel cage
goes, round and round, And no one listens
to what wise men still propound...
How many centuries has man's myopic eye
failed to envision "time" assigned
the role of symbol ?
Ask whether logic ever pinpoints time,
elusive,

Third Millenium London Update
St Paul’s gazes out over the modernising City
Where the Tower shrinks in its corner
Fearful of the vicious Shard
The Abbey and Houses of Parliament
Keep Westminster alive
Under the gaze of a watchful Eye
The hustle of the restless Oxford Street
Is matched by the bustle of Soho
The British Museum still reigns supreme in Bloomsbury
Despite constant tourist invasion
On the river

A British Diary Passing Millenium
The ask of cultures.
Dutch to Portugal, do you think colonisation of fruit and lands and their inhabitants was the fairest exchange of our tactics of the strategy to wrestles of communication. They decided the best option was a renegotiation of trade affairs and markets. Thus the agreement was self-determination of the landowners and their

Millenium
This is a time for celebration
Let's join hands across the nations
Peace on earth goodwill to men
Should be the song of the millenium
To heal the sick, to feed the poor
Are as important as before
If the human race wants real success
We need to find true happiness
Let's form a global identity
Then maybe mankind will be free
Free from hatred,

New Millenium Same Old Stuff
My revolutionary heart smiled at its private joke:
“The poor can’t eat the rich because they’d gag and they’d choke
On toxins like guilt, cynism and greed,
Prozac and Botox – not quite what the poor need.”
But, the above-mentioned attitudes, I hear you demur,
Are found just as commonly amongst the poor.
Yes, I retort, it’s just as you say

Millenium Fever
(New Year’s Eve, 2000)
The world holds a collective breath
The specter of Y2K looms
Darkly on the western horizon
Like a fabled tsunami
Rolling all the way from Japan
Stock markets crash
