For those of us who had built a fence
around our minds increasingly dense
certain phobias became too immense
when the weather forecast made no sense!

--

Since the first time man was able to speak
he manipulated the language of the weak
and through the seduction of carefully crafted lies
it would always pay to advertise!

--

This planet was once covered by blue and green.
The most beautiful colors you've ever seen
but in outer space we will forever roam.
A garbage can has replaced our home.

--

The chameleon was able to change his face
and lead by example for the human race
in knowing the world can be a smaller place
when compassion acts as our saving grace!

--

The history of mankind was poorly led
when anger reared its ugly head
and negotiations broke down instead.
It's all been done and very little was said.
