Original Song/Poem

[mjwestha]

Hey everyone, just wanted to share poem/song I've recently written in regards to the climate crisis.
Cheers,
Mike



Seasonal Suite
By Mike Westhaver

Verse

The moon never closer is at grasp
Our voices strong, others a-gasp
Have not we learned from lessons past?
We still are young, we are the last

Verse

The tide it rises, to unsettling heights
Still this causes minimal frights
We continue building unsightly sights
But grow we must, to show our might

Chorus

We are still young, a reckless tribe
Who underestimates the wrath of time
Some have come around to see the crime
But others dismiss this foolish rhyme

Verse

The sun our love burns brightly still
But bright enough to change our will?
It gives us light on each new day
It also burns the ground to grey

Chorus

Verse

The wind it picks up, with debris
And blows ever harder against the trees
Our shelters topple, sink into the sea
Further travelled inland, you and me

Chorus x 2

[Deleted]

Very nice Mike! Have you put it to music yet?

[mjwestha]

Not yet Glaucus,
That's phase 2 of the project which I hope to start ASAP

Thank you for sharing this, Mike. It's very strong - with vivid imagery. Makes me want to change the rest of my lightbulbs to compact fluorescent.

I look forward to hearing it on Youtube. All the best,

~Sun~
