 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

Renewed Many Times


Here we live on a planet
Heaven within its self ever new~
We never appreciate what weve got
Till we lose it is true~
We always want something more
Or something else it is so~
And history does repeat its self
So here we are and there we go ~
so much more could we now
Appreciate what it is weve got~
Clean up our mess even God wuld confess
Before we lose the lot~
Stop fighting just like children
Over things with us we cannot take~
And leave at least something of value
For our children and the babies we make~
It is not at all too late for us
To turn what weve done around~
Go back a little where weve been
And once more make our planet sound~
Weve insulted sheer creation so
And replaced it with our own~
What goes around comes around
And yet we call earth our home~
We would not do the things we do
In our own homes where we live~
We would not make the messes there
Or give it what on earth we give~
We would not treat our childrens pets
The way we do other things on earth~
And yet we say we always know best
And that we are giving our planet home its worth~
This planet has been renewed many times
Its crust wiped clean and and new~
Many times its been restocked I feel
And many times they did just what we do~
History repeats its self we all know
And yet we carry on without appreciation~
For all we have been given here
As if in some form of desperation~
I scream this out with all my heart
Stop now and lets go back~
A little ways when earth new perfect health
Just a little back down the track~
