Making Love Last

We dream of nothing
sleepwalk to the end
speak to no-one
only pretend
 
In front of my eyes is a picture
the world wants me to see
But I see a dangerous future
from a hideous past
I want to make things better
I want to make love last
 
But what do we do
to help the world along?
We pretend we are allowed
to be selfish and strong.
We ignore the scream
resonating through earth
we treat the oceans as a dustbin
and call the ground 'dirt’.
 
There is no “thank-you” to nature
we rape her for profit
blaming the need
on the sins of Eve
 
A glimpse of a sunset
every once in a while
does not add the world up
for you or your child.
Take them to a fake world
in a weekend, on a plane
if you keep their eyes closed
they will never complain.
 
Human intelligence
needs somewhere to roam
but wallows in vacant light
through desolate living rooms.
How about the adventure
of surviving our million years past?
How about some common sense
and making love last?
 
Beat thy neighbour, with thine stick
until they resonate with the scream of the sick
if not for love, honesty, and peace
Then this unkind of people, is not up my street.
 
The future is dangerous
the past is a disaster,
there’s always a choice,
other than to go faster.
 
Make love last at last.
Make peace be.
Make calm, harmony tea,
for free.
