 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

What Once Was


What once was so long ago
Could well be once again-
History does repeat it's self
And our earth it well could be the same-
Once England was covered in endless ice
And Australia was an inland sea-
Long ago many changes they took place
Long before the likes of you and me-
Even Noah told of deepest depths
So many changes down the line-
Rocks from space once destroyed so much
Changes re occurring all the time-
Ice caps now melting as we can see
Tornado's and earth quakes too-
If only we could live several lifetimes
The big picture it just might come through-
We blame the O Zone layer all the time
Saying only man he is to blame-
But history does repeat it's self
Natures seasons well could be again-
It's true that we could be annoying things
With a lot on earth we do-
But what was once could well be happening again
In it's own good time it's true-
Much better for all to get along each day
The world to act more as one-
Appreciate the things that we need ever so
Like the air we breath and warmth from the sun-
History does repeat it's self
Despite the importance of man on earth-
Seventy percent of living things on earth are ants
In the remainder , Man and all his worth-
Not everything is within our hands alone
There's no contract to say man lives forever-
We've in comparison only been here awhile
And not that long ago coincided clever-
God he giveth and God he takes away
We've all heard that before-
Who knows what our earth it has in mind
Behind mother natures secret door-
We've left behind much more than there is to gain
Was once could well be once more-
So wise it would be to wander back aways
And again know some of the life we once adored-
