On a windy sunny afternoon

#SilentNoises ~knm

I sit and ponder
In amazement and wonder
The root cause of the problem
But it is not them

I am the cause
Like a course
Of the river
Changing routes to overcome obstacles
I have spread my tentacles
Though I am human
What is man
That greed and avarice
Has become his Lot
Like a plot
It thickens, beyond understanding

If only we are standing
Can we see
Beyond the shallow green sea

Kola the nut
Though he is not a nut
Said it all.
It begins with you
Or should I say I?
Sorry us.
Change is now. Within.
Until then……
