Settle down my child
Rest your weary head
I’ll tell you a little story
As you snuggle in your bed
About our amazing planet
The one we all adore
It’s like a gigantic magnet
Keeps us grounded on its floor
But unlike Mother Nature
Who cares, nurtures and provides
We continue to melt each glacier
With our global warming strides
It takes a very special person
To stand up and say ‘ENOUGH’
And teach us an important lesson
The one we know is tough
That we are all destroying
That which gave us life
How can we be enjoying
All these actions out of strife
And so our planet asks us
To protect, to love, to change
Start a conversation and discuss
All the things we can exchange
To recycle, reuse and reduce
At Christmas and all year round
Stop our materialistic abuse
Become eco-friendly bound
So as you listen and close your eyes
Dream of trees, and turtles, and bees
Hear their pleading cries
But settle down with ease
Let us all try our best
To protect that which loves us all
Mother Nature full of zest
Us standing proud and tall

The Reluctant Reporter
"You can't send me!" "There is no-one else. It's you or no-one, and that is not an option." Ameera looked at the fat paunch and florid face of her boss, a man who lived for the story and the kudos it brought him but who rarely gave consideration to the people behind the drama. When had he become so hard? She reckoned that by the end of the year, he'd be dead, collapsed from a heart attack and she struggled to conjure any sympathy in that moment and instantly felt ashamed at displaying the same lack of compassion that he had.
