Did you behave (any differently thereafter) - 30 Mar 2009
Did you give up
an hour for earth
or was it just
business as usual
(none of that save
the dolphins, the whales,
going green planting a tree
hippy kind of stuff)
Did you give up
an hour for earth
with your lights off
And did you behave
any differently thereafter
asks a talking head
from our provider
(laughingly described)
(is life still the same old
programme at your school
the morning transport to work
whatever energy-form it takes)
An hour for earth
was all that was asked
on Saturday past
for today and tomorrow
Are you behaving
any differently right now
for tomorrow
and the day after
Not for any talking head
so-called service provider
or petty political electioneer
but for you
2 hours for earth, done on 28 March 2009, pessimism aside, penned after guffawing at an Eskom talking head on my black and white radio.
