 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

SAME  GAME  WE  PLAYED  AS  CHILDREN

How I'd sit and watch all the children play
Back when they were indeed children then
But that when they were in fact children
Many they've not grown up since back when

Then it was all good guys and bad ones too
Well that much is still today the very same
Only thing is now many are not children
They'er politicians holding others to blame

Back when the games they started ended
Everyone packed up and just went home
Not at all anymore that's really for sure
Killing wrecking earth many dead alone

Once all it remained just as it always was
These aren't children's games not anymore
And earth has it's own karma using it too
Wars fires floods volcanic's tornado's galore

Earthquakes cyclones all humans on a crust
Way too much adult stupidity true of late
Whole cuvilusations gone already for good
Earth I feel at times again to wipe the slate

Multitudes of lives over gone countless to say
Children born with dying already on their mind
Futures More like a lottery one day to the next
Peace of mind happiness ever so hard to find

Religions many politics too like a monopoly
Never seen a religion that was out of money
Once a beautiful earth and planet it existed
Free once water oxygen good health honey

Everyone's right nobodies wrong they'll tell
Brain washing children to think just the same
A oneness love kindness a Godliness so rare
Almost all gone always another is to blame

In everyone's lives on news in papers endless
Always there's different points seems of view
There's endless protesting rights and of wrongs
Gone live and let live those days are all through

No I'm not whinging stating a heartfelt concern
Now along comes a virus whats next I worry
Looking back I wonder about just up the track
But to try and figure that I'm in no at all hurry
