A Social Emergency

 A Social Emergency 

Love and peace within out city, 

Seems to be a real scarcity, 

Its become a social emergency 

Balance needs to be restored, 

Its a matter of the up most urgency 

Societies systems are constantly abused 

Kids left to fend alone, no longer amused 

Love thy neighbour, now just a phrase from the past! 

Innocence of childhood cut too short, not long to last,

 Greed and avarice run amok, run rife!

In this our civilized 21st century life. 

We need to inject some love intervention

If peace and harmony is society intention!

Reach For The Sky

Reach For The Sky 

If we could put our head in the clouds, 

When our world become too loud, 

Could we use this as an escape, 

So our ills could evaporate? 

If we could stand way back, 

Could we cleanse societies plaque,

Clear up the unwanted debris, 

Allow our children to play free?  

If we could reach for the sky, 

Would it dismiss our earthly woes goodbye, 

Release us from financial cuffs, 

  So global markets let us pay just enough? 

So play in the clouds 

Where dreams are allowed, 

For if we lose all hope, 

This world won't cope 

 So Reach for the sky 

 Go on just try !
