The Return Of Reason?


from the ABC set Tales Of The Rainbow Dragon

When Noah shouted to his friends to warn them of the flood
They all just simply laughed at him convinced that they were good.
Only bad men drown they thought and we haven’t been too bad
So when it started raining hard they just clung onto what they had.
Gold doesn’t float - they did not fare well; it was farewell to the lot…
For goodness is not what you are - so much as what you are Not.

Time passes

You cannot drown out lust and greed
within us all that demon seed
Few are left who try to weed
even less those who succeed.

Time again for darkening skies
as Greedy grabs and Clever lies.
Fools who swallow their own shit
forgetting they invented it.

Once again the foolish think
that they won’t perish in the drink.
Just a harmless little song
they want us all to sing along.

“We are clever we are bright
we shine lanterns in the night.
There is no God; this planet‘s ours…
let’s burn the trees and pick the flowers!
Live for today, that‘s all there is…
religion is the old Show Biz’"

Science is the only way -
unless it questions what we say.
For we are us and you are too
all we do - we do for you!

We give you freedom,
give you votes,
give you TV’s,
give you coats

In return all we require
is that you feed the funeral pyre.
Kill the Earth with a plague of cars
then come with us and live on Mars.

It’s easy to see just how seriously many of the world’s politicians take the dangers of Global Warming and Climate Change.

Searching the Internet I found an article in the news that maintained that bonus payouts of over $90 billion are planned by just five ‘too big to fail’ companies… which is almost the same amount that is being pledged in the latest Climate Change deal in Mexico to ‘save the world’ with an annual “Green Fund” to be set up by 2020.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to use the bonus payments to save the planet now and pay the Christmas bonuses in 2020 :O)

“Last Sunday, the television programme 60 Minutes sat down with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, they asked him about the bonuses.
The Fed head had nothing to say about that.
He just wanted to praise his own efforts to save the financial system.”

I have to admit that I have been unable to discover who these five companies are and it appears to me that Wall Street bonuses will only amount to roughly half that figure… yet after a ‘lacklustre‘ year and $550 million fine “Goldman employees are expected to receive a collective $16.8 billion, or nearly $500,000 per employee”!
