A Beetle Called Bertha
I tip-toe among the little critters
That wriggle and flitter
Along our shared grassy track
They like to stop and have a chat
And proudly pose for a photo
When I am on my tummy down low
Today I met a beetle called Bertha
A lady who was frank and earthy
And like my grandma, her family came first
She protected her offspring through every cloudburst
And I seriously agreed with the lady beetle
That little critter’s mothers were not unlike people

Let Us Grow (a Memento)
The flowers still stand tall and strong
After the ghastly storm
Not long
They cry, before the bees do swarm
All day they hum their song
Conform
They remain a unified team
Work together they say
Then beam
Enjoy our colourful display
Retain us in your dreams
Always
“The Great Gates Of Kiev”, Writer(s): Greg Lake, Keith Noel Emerson How amazingly appropriate for todays world, written in 1971
Come forth, from love’s pyre Born in life’s fire, Born in life’s fire Come forth, from love’s pyre In the burning, of our yearning For life to be And in pain there will (must) be gain New Life!
Stirring in salty streams And dark hidden seams Where the fossil sun gleams
They were, sent from (to) the gates Ride the tides of fate Ride the tides of fate They were, sent from (to) the gates In the burning of our yearning For life to be

The Untouchable and Invisible World
The uncontrollable Digital World
Is stuck in an unstoppable whirl
Untouchable like a hot crazy lava flow
And madder than a mist and snow in the Congo
We cannot physically experience the wireless connection
Our world’s computer reliance is a mental autoinfection
Desperately requiring a House of Correction
Before we crash into the horizon’s unmanned intersection
