Poetry Thursday 105 - SOE

Not the Special Operations Executive, but rather Save Our Earth. 





SOE

 

Surely we now know that it’s true,

year after year the evidence mounts,

not single events or one issue,

but the conflated event counts.

 

Lip service is paid and change threatened,

but the road to hell are good intentions,

yet the clear threat has beckoned,

no change implemented because of deflections.

 

Yet some nations are making progress,

all electric trains in Holland use wind energy,

our drive to electric cars is in distress,

no spend on infrastructure, the litany.

 

The Germans are replacing diesel trains,

hydrogen driven beasts emitting water vapour,

our science reversed by political brains,

worshipping the old-fashioned oil abuser.

 

Norway and Japan have made changes,

the UK is striving to introduce,

the Earth needs positive accomplices,

not promises that fail to produce.

 

Everyone needs to set an example,

profit is a barrier to improvement,

clinging to traditional practices is unacceptable,

the Earth is in need of our commitment.
