The Voice Of
poems
Be My Voice
Just remember I have no choice
That makes you important to me, because you ARE my voice
We live in harmony and we keep your world green
I see trophy’s, cages glass walls, turnstiles, places we shouldn’t be seen
Free in the wild is all that we need
The circle of natural life and death is our only creed
You can live where you want I don’t endanger your home
I won’t mess up my room we live eat and play in our hopefully clean zone
You call us animals, a term you use as a derogatory
But we don’t take life so frivolously
All we ask is to be free, to wander as we ever have done
With your trophy what have you won?
You litter endanger, pollute, capture and create fear
Come see us in our home, but keep your distance. Respect us and please not too near
Just remember that we have no choice
We are important
Now go be my voice!!
Oxygen
Think of the sea as your oxygen
And the life in it cleaning your air
Think of the whales and
the dolphins imagine a world without them there
Think of the turtles importance their role in the eco systemhealth
They’re living fossil memories not by product catch or accessories to add to your wealth
And What of the shark lying finless who drowns in its own atmosphere
All For the want of a food chain
someone’s takeaway and a beer
Think of the climate that’s changing and taking the homes from the ice
I only saw a polar bear on an ice cube
But years later in its real home that’d be nice
Imagine what’s changing is not just the climate and not just the quality of air
Imagine the sea without creatures
A world of despair
Imagine it’s you that’s changing and you think before you eat , watch a show or wear
Why don’t you look at the sea and be grateful and from this minute plan to leave as you find
Bountiful
Clean
Healthy
Has this planted a seed in your mind ??
Bertie the Bug in Lockdown
​
Bertie the bug would indeed have loved a hug
But the lockdown meant that nobody could
There’s a 2 metre rule
When you get back to school, there’ll be tape around your place
Own your own space
You can still smile and tell a joke
You can still laugh and you can play
Keep your distance though it’s safer that way
Bertie says be aware, wash or sanitize your hands after anything you share
It’s so strange to be apart from all the friends and people in your heart
Just remember that they’re all still there
Bertie says show them different ways you care
Bertie drew his friends a picture and he sent it in the post
He wrote a funny story and emailed it to the family and friends he loved the most
In school he helped his friend with maths across the table space
And though the distance is so weird
Bertie keeps the smile on his face
The world can change as people grow
Life can sometimes be hard you know
Just imagine that you are holding hands
Send positive thoughts out with your smile and Bertie says you already know
After the storm moves away and the raindrops stop
Look out! Here comes the rainbow……..
Humpback Whale
Humpback Whale, I came in Peace
I leave with love and respect
And 3 million more things to reflect
You gave me tail flukes, breached high
Pec slapped a wave, was it to me or  to the sky?
You spy hopped into view
Who viewed who?
I imagine you raise your eyes up to the sky
We know so little of what you do, who you are and why?
I take nothing from you just the memory
I leave you safe in the womb of the sea
But I'm keeping you in my heart nowÂ
And I'm hoping youll always be FREE
Pass the Gavel
I'm as guilty as any of you who never gave any thought as to why that dolphin's here smiling at me?
Should it be hunted, captured and lose its right to wild and free?
Look again , Do you see?
The Dolphin Project is a collective of people doing what we all should
Raising awareness, fighting for the good
The right to wild and free
Look where they stand with Ric O Barry hand in hand
Taji in a Japanese land
Its not just capture they fight for you to see
Its widescale murder their blood red fills the sea
This they call a red cove day, the sad one the bad one , the one they want to go away
Blue is the colour of the cove when the world is going right
If you don't join in , this is their continuing plight
Back the Dolphin Project, Follow them and share
Teach your children where a dolphin should be
Thats right safe in the sea
The Dolphins smiling need you to be
Sharing the Dolphin Project far and wide
Imagine if you did and just one less died?

UGLY
Ugly is not just about your face
It's about what's inside you and what you bring to any place
How you make others feel
Whether you're fake or real
If your actions are unkind or the nasty thoughts running through your mind
You might see it
You might say it
You might think it
Or you might do
Ugly's not just a four letter word
It can be a reflection of you
Ugly's not a permanent condition
You can change things with an act of contrition
Ugly might need a helping hand
See beyond it's face before you judge and stamp your hand
Don't mark it as forever true
Ugly can change and so can you!
WHALE
Surrounded by a quiet air
Feeling the lapping of the waves
Waiting, are you there?
Bobbing gently on the breeze
Not a sound like we quietly appease
In your territory, in your home
I feel you, I’m not alone
Daring to break under the surface
Rewarded with your presence close to me
You are free
And I am despite everything, where I’m meant to be
