Like a bull in a China shope.
"I'm truly sorry man's dominion
Has broken Nature's social union,"-Robert Burns.
****
Copernicus showed we irnae the centre ae the univ'rse
,sorry tae tak the swell oot ae yer purse.
Darwin screivin sae we wid see
,we irnae it the tope ae the tree.
Aw else hus tellt ,
wir bit sma empty notches oan an epic belt.
Aye grawin, society's kyte wioot a dowp
dunt doon hale wuids,Lochs drainit an fair left us in a cowp.
We cannae cairry oan the wey we dae,
Guzzle oor civilizations scran an slitter
attery keech aroon like glitter.
Burns,seas an mountins, caw fer eident response
whae wi canny cadence kin act as nature's sconce?...
We cannae tak time tae swither and dither
,we ither cairry oan iz we ir or chose oursels a path anither.
if nuhin kin thirl our seiven nations whin aw is agley
,thin whit mair iz thir we kin dae whun eirth ails sae badly?
The West spaks a guid deal
bit cannae git ower itsel
tae see in it's ane een, the big speal.
Insteid ae bein quick tae clype
we shid try tae cultivate oor ane gairden
an hae nae ilk wi bumbased gype.
In industrial blether, we skyte an follae
hurded like sheep bi Capitalism's collie.
we hae impetuous tae seek reunion wi the mither
find oot ,settle the doot ae, how tae live thegither.
Gif mechanry wis chored by Prometheus
we shairly need tae chore a sheave
ae paradise anaw tae drap lown sichts aboot us.
