A Life of Rhyme

Global Financial Crisis

With talk of a global crisis
And recession everywhere
It's time for us to ask
Do governments really care

Because through many years of hardship
And poverty all around
The politicians told us
There was no money to be found

Yet when the worlds banks
Started to lose control
Our leaders managed to find billions
To dig them out of a hole

And where did this money come from
Those bankers take with glee
From ordinary people
Folk like you and me

So I say to you the people
Now it's time to get real tough
And tell our countries leaders
That we've really had enough

Because there really only is one way
Out of this situation
Is for the entire planet earth
To join together as one nation

So let's destroy poverty
And try to break new ground
By forcing our world leaders
To spread their wealth around

Our Escape

It hasn't been that long
Since we decided to make a plan
To get away from all the strife
And do it while we can

So the tickets are all booked
And we really cannot wait
To leave all our troubles
At the check in gate

As we will soon be off
To pastures new
My wife and I
And children too

To foreign lands
And a distant shore
With many places
For us to explore

Global Warming Poem

Global warming is something i think we should all take seriously and here is a poem about how we can all do something to help.

A human Solution

This world belongs
To you and I
The oceans, seas
Lands and sky

So why do people
Seek to destroy
This very planet
We're supposed to enjoy

With greenhouse gases
And high pollution
It is only we humans
That has the solution

So start with your rubbish
Try and recycle it
And at least you'll know
You are helping a bit

And in case you decide
To give it a miss
Go out in the garden
And try to do this

Take a deep breath
Lay on the grass
Look up at the sky
And watch the clouds pass

This is the earth
And there is only one
So let's try and maintain it
For generations to come

A birthday poem for any deserving dad whatever his age.

Guiding Hand

This rhyme is for you father
On your special day
For it contains all the words
That I wish to say

You care for me you nurtured me
And taught me how to grow
Into the person I am today
Grateful from head to toe

And during the times of my life
When I buried my head in the sand
You taught me how to stand up tall
And guided me with a gentle hand

So on this special occasion
The least that I can do
Is give to you this birthday poem
To show that I love you
