What’s going wrong?

 

Walking through the vastness of space and time

Makes the vast fields look like a speck

Caught between the stars and the dusty earth

In an ever changing world.

 

A world that has no place in time

When jubilees mean for ‘nowt

And means creation will not be found

Within the history of solar years.

 

When they recall millenniums past

When whatever cometh next

The reason for the human loss

Speculation, a best guess.

 

Can’t we see what’s going wrong?

Surely it’s there to see

The need to live in tranquillity

A piece of you and me.
