Remember the “smog” in days gone by?
So many in London Town did die,
They couldn’t breath clean fresh air,
For smoke from chimney’s polluted there.
The “Clean Air Act” came into force,
For people this was time to rejoice,
To laugh once more, feel free to breathe,
To suck in the cool air caught in the breeze.

To walk without fear of bumping into another,
To laugh and joke as if with brother to brother,
To actually “see” where one is walking,
Not to think that there is someone “stalking”.
Government had decreed something should be done,
Common sense prevailed, laws had been won,
Not simply to pay more in taxes, to spin or lie,
But to find another way of the saving of lives.

Not for them in those days of old,
That “it’s” the death of the planet” they were sold,
That the earth is running out of time,
Before that happens your money be mine.
Nay, for in those days so long ago now,
Politicians acted. They told you how
They would make a law that would benefit all,
Not simply obey those others that called.

They listened to scientists old and new
For surely they would know what to do?
Some looked into the far distant past
To see what happened, how the World changed so fast.
But there is a pattern if you look at the World,
How the land was joined up, in times of old,
Gradually, over millions and millions of years,
Land mass changed without too many fears.

The sea has risen over the fullness of time,
Cut into the land and will continue that line,
The earth will grow colder and then hotter once more,
It has done so many, many times before.
“Waste” must be curbed, of that there’s no doubt,
For places to fill, are indeed running out,
But ‘fines’, and prison when folk do wrong
Is making far too much of a dance and a song.

For the people will no longer believe what you say,
You Politicians will have had your day,
Today’s politicians seem to want only one thing,
More and more of our money in the ‘pot’ to you bring.
But our money too is fast running out,
“Be environmentally friendly” you may scream and shout,
But so many flaws in the laws you have made,
Not one of which will this planet save.
