The Blueprint of Peaceful Change

I felt inspired to write this tonight.

THE BLUEPRINT OF PEACEFUL CHANGE

I see many men surrounding an elephant,
They wear blindfolds for they are thinking their way,
They are unable to feel for the truth that sets all free,
As a big picture of best interest invites many colours,
The blueprint of their true interest inclusive of others,
For to see the pink elephant one must make a room
without a view.

For worldviews are promulgated,
Schools of thought paid to swim in opposing directions,
For many are trained to look for the flaw,
Programmed to see the gap,
To hold up a hypothesis to be tested by peers,
To raise all their fears,
Yet the uncertainty principle,
Is all that remains,
Of truth.

Al Gore presented the gold bar or the earth?
Another inconvenient truth of choice,
A rebirth of ecology that sustains?
Or a carbon fossilized political economy that drains?
Scott Ritter advanced citizenship or consumerism?
For weapons of mass distraction,
Reside in environments of ignorance,
Buried under environments of fear,
Broadcast as environments of sports channels,
Cheers!! Let’s have another beer,
Just put it in the too hard basket, they say!
Business-as-usual means it must be alright,
The ship is tight mate!
It’s not too late!

Yet many danced and played on the titanic,
Oblivious to the captain’s industry,
For only what he sees is the tip of the iceberg,
As ice core samples slide and skate across the deck,
Rearranging the deck chairs as they taxed all coal,
The technocrat said to the end this is an unsinkable ship,
For there was profit in reaching the statue of liberty early,
Before running out of steam,
‘To be seen to be’ is the Never Ending Story,
Glory as he stands at the helm for he must go down with the ship,
Is it better to sink or swim?
To find the impossible becoming possible as reality,
Foreclosing all deals on carbon credits.

The IPCC models climate,
Industry role models business-as-usual,
Economics models consumer preferences,
Politics models vested interests for re-election,
Whilst price changes,
Fuel climate changes,
A free trade ideology that taxes the next generation.

The silent spring of nature self regulates,
Nature inhales carbon dioxide as if exhausted,
Exhales air as a free trade beneficial to all life,
Forests as carbon sinks are out on a limb,
Diverse natural habitats are corralled into national parks,
Whales harvested for science,
Science harvested for profit,
As tipping points trigger natural selection events,
That favour harmony over economy,
True nature over politics,
As universal laws are unquestioned.

4 billion years of genetic switches,
Intelligent combinations of mutants as free radicals,
Selecting certainty that sustains from uncertainty that chains,
As radical ideas free humanity,
A mutiny out of bounty
Finding fair trade is free,
Returned to natural limits of sanity,
Regulated by the values of our true nature,
For this is the blueprint that selects,
The golden new age as peaceful change.
