Water and Air

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink

Air, I want fresh air, not this smoke with a terrible stink.

Richard Spencer wants a race that's Lily White and pure.

Don't trust atoms, they make up everything! That's for sure!



Atoms dance and atoms whiz. Building blocks of all that is.

Chemical brews their maker eschews puddles of poison fizz.

Fire transmogrifies, melts, and morphs matter to ash and smoke

Floods take all to the lowest level, toxic soup makes us choke



Whole wide world gonna be mixed up; ain't nothin' pure no more

Plastic fills the ocean blue. Albatross keeps the score.

Our inner tides bring micro-beads to every organ's shore.

Let's take the challenge; clean up our mess. Can Earth be restored?



No such thing as racial purity. Richard has that wrong.

Even with best security, there's none who doesn't belong.

Don't be a dick, Dick. Humans long for all the rainbow hues.

I don't wanna bleach my freckles; to hide gives me the blues.



Each decision that I make soon affects the whole world wide

That this Lifeboat we all live on spins cannot be denied

What we do on our side now spills soon to the other side

"Homogeneity makes us weak," Diversity cried,




"For strength, our colors must be mixed, perspectives listened to."

Human folly, prideful boasts, may hasten punishment due

For cutting out those who differ from us as if they don't belong.

Beneath dissimilar outer husks human hearts beat strong.



When it comes right down to it, we are mostly empty space

As planets circle our good sun, electrons 'round nuclei race.

Rearranging patterns, atoms dance in conscious grace.

Pure consciousness is all we are: A fact we all must face



Actions not of healthful vision ought to be curtailed

To hold a brighter vision greed and fear must be derailed

To focus on pure consciousness a little bit each day

May reconnect us each with each, let kindness be our play.



A pristine planet spinning round our nucleus, the Sun

Will gladden hearts and lift us up rememb'ring we are ONE

One human family choosing well to act in harmony

Moving forward thoughtfully, I see light for you and me.
