The Raft

Each of us using allotted space

90 cms square

Privacy being extra rare

We jump off the raft: take our turn:

That the rest  will space earn

Yet others will the pedals turn

Providing power to protect the swimmers there

With sonar for the sharks to scare

no land or rescue: no form of respite can-we earn.

Such is our plight

Yet more swimmers in our sight!!!

What to do with them is the problem

What can “US” do now?

Both question and solution.

Congruency

(Of series and imagination)

Let science and the arts be those two.

Ever adding never reaching

Ever reaching to complete

One material seeking shelter

One spiritual seeking comfort

There is no other so why bother

half the one

And half the other

AI the one ?

And wealth the other ?

One to wonder

One to gather

Darwin one ?

Design the other ?

Absorbing one

Solves the ponder

Yet still the maker stays

This one

Planetary Nationality

US = (humanity not territory)

Alliteration by children and grandchildren taught

Above is not neat and has no beat

And yet so far is best thought

For with that climate and the heat

“US” will have to change their home

And all one new nation must become

(Prepare for the worse or the better says Sensible)
