Spring Times 2003
How cruel to call my love my muse
My mother's hope now muse abuse
Clinging to comfort in death's dawn
Fear flung out and darling son born.
Reason rants and passion plunges
Hope erupts and love expunges
Guilt and guile are dancing partners
Sloth and ease make quick departures
Will o'er come the waning spirit
Wisdom reign in this new nitwit
Nature radiate your game plan
Welcome in the longer lifespan
Base income come work a wonder
Good deeds, kind words, future plunder
Bringing spring her Daffodils
Teasing love, fun, smiles and thrills.
Careers 16/8/03 NZ Herald
Hark the Naked Leader
Stripped of all pretence and humbler
Gathers garb; life's wardrobe robbed
To walk the walk with milestones marked
Self, culture, skills, career blessed
People, teams, and Company addressed
Lust, envy and anger accompany
Avarice, sloth and gluttony.
No zero sum the power game
Assert self worth and taken in
Secure wealth draws accolades
Ego stroking and a titled facade
What to do? Ah plague of doubt
The answer gone! The truth is out.
Aquarius stumble, flood my mind
Seed barren ambition the choice to find.
