Posted on November 4, 2017 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Mermaids are gone and the ocean’s laid bare; but the seafarers today don’t seem to care. High in skyscrapers they now ply their trade; no longer the ocean where legends were made. Now ships of cold steel cut through … Continue reading →

Anthtropobscenity

Posted on July 2, 2017 by a foolhardy florilegium

I look around, what do I see; a human tide washing over me. A flood that overwhelms us all, humans flourish in Gaia’s fall. On the crest of the wave me all ride; a wave that’ll break on all that … Continue reading →

Alone

Posted on December 23, 2016 by a foolhardy florilegium

A Nations Pride

Posted on November 5, 2016 by a foolhardy florilegium

I heard their words; the Bushman’s a art. Those ballad’s come straight from the heart. They tell of trial and tribulation; the deeds that made this, our great Nation. This is our history, more true than most; of the glory … Continue reading →

Progress

Posted on June 26, 2016 by a foolhardy florilegium
