[Baut Images: High Tide]
The tides of change are coming.
The planet rotates on it's axis.
Lorna Doone plays the piano.
You sip a cup of tea,
Whilst I rid the skies of lies.
The tides of change are coming.
Species dying every day.
Miley Cyrus gets a ticket.
As Meatloaf burns in the oven,
And I play the game to win it.
The tides of change are coming.
More mercury in Blue-fin Tuna.
As banksters fill with dread.
So, read that book Priscilla,
As I write for the Ungrateful Dead.
The tides of change are coming.
As the grids break down once again.
And it's time for Project Runway to end.
So, go grab a muffin Amanda,
And I'll have a sandwich of sand.
The tides of change are coming.
Doesn't matter what one wants.
The battle is close at hand.
So listen to wind and water,
For it's happening across the land.
The tides of change are here!
The planet careens in it's orbit.
Elton John smashes his piano.
You sip a bottle of water,
Whilst I travel to the Isle in the Skye.

Oh, can you please rid the skies of lies? I've been searching for one who could.
ReplyDeleteWonderful work, Roger.
Well, I can work on it...especially when we get our next BIG project off the ground...we'll be traveling through the skies, so we can get rid of some of them darn lies.
Delete...and thank you so much Beth, so pleased you liked this...and stopped by to read it!
Roger ☺
This is great, how you bring it on home and root and ground the change coming through the repetition of the phrase and the stark details of modern life. Well done. I can feel there's a change coming!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Serena! There is a change on the way! Roger ☺
DeleteI can feel that change that's on the way...it's been a long time coming, but it is coming. Wonderful pairings Roger! I believe in you...in all of us.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts...and, yes, I feel the change too...and, yes, again, all of us can make a positive difference and wake the sleepers up! Roger ☺
DeleteLots of smiles rippling through this, followed by so many harsh truths.
ReplyDelete"Whilst I rid the skies of lies." Love that.
Yes, indeed Jo,"Lots of smiles rippling through this..."as well as "so many harsh truths." And I am hoping to rid the skies of lies! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and stopping by, appreciated! Roger ☺
DeleteThey say that nothing is constant but change... and that I believe to be true. We cannot hope to stem that tide, but only hope it does not wash over us and drown us.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, and I agree with that, "...nothing is constant but change..." And this is all but an instant in time, when measured on the grand scale of Planet Earth...but, as with all things, the phoenix will rise once more. Thanks again for stopping by and sharing your thoughts Samuel! Roger ☺
ReplyDeleteBy God...this sounds like a mini-rapture. I'm all for change at this point...it'll come whether we want it or not..Your poem is a great reminder of the one constant....change! Thank you. :))
ReplyDeleteExactly! Change will come whether we want it or not, and yes, as you write, "...the one constant....change! Appreciate you stopping by and sharing your thoughts! Roger ☺
DeleteRid the sky of lies...can you? Change is coming. May we be instruments to usher in a more positive world.
