HMS Bounty
movie ship
lost at sea
Spring sunshine false security.
New life weak, lacks impunity!
Relying on instinct, not ingenuity!
Weather lacking continuity!
Fickle, tantamount to cruelty!
Naturalist blame human lunacy,
some agree with their importunity
Some folks, if given the opportunity,
would form a world community.
To stop our polluting abnormality.
Their key for all, amenability.
The power of reason, their munity.
No more governmental jejunity!
They'll work to create bio immunity!
At one with nature, total unity!

Still trying to make sense of it all after all these years
Still weighing-measuring and short changing my own self;
There isn’t much hope I’ll find any positive answers;
Especially out here where the natural order of things live
And the innocents who should have been granted munity;
They appear to have been lined up and given their places
As if the more of those that hear the story and agree;
The less contradictable might be the causes and effects.
Pointing fingers -wagging tongues;
They’ll be no forgiveness when everything’s done;
Truth was but a reminiscent portrayal.
And too many ships have already sailed.
