Alan has been writing poetry for about one year - he sometimes feels compelled to express his thoughts in verse, whatever form that may take. Sometimes funny, serious or just absurd, he sees no limitations in the matter of subject or inspiration. He lives in Dennistoun and has many other interests which occupy vast amounts of his time and energy.
‘Eco-illogical’
Our biological bubble
has sprung a leak
and as our lifeblood
floods away...
too late the solution we’ll seek.
Wild and carefree times
will soon be ending.
Have you heard that our planet’s
health needs urgent mending?
The Earth’s beautiful
spread of species,
sadly now
is falling to pieces.
The mapping of
home territories
soon will be consigned
to bedtime stories.
Erase; Erase
One hundred billion days
of life diverse
from evolutionary ways.
An irreversible loss.
An irreversible loss.
How many people give a toss?
Our global progress is measured
in dollars and pounds.
To future generations,
how will this sound?
If humans were the last creatures
on Earth to stand,
what more of it’s resources
would we probably demand?
Extinction will be the end.
Whatever next to this planet...
would Charles Darwin send?
