More of humanity is taking on a pack mentality

This is of course enabled by the wondrous internet

When a stupid and strange video story goes viral

And routinely abused grandmas get tons of money

People don’t realize how unsuited we are for this

As we sit chained to our computers 10 hours a day

We’re popping vitamin D to replace the eclipsed sun

We’re eating hungry man dinners to stave off hunger

We’re texting while in the shower and walking in traffic

We’re constantly talking on the cell or skype in all places

We lovingly cling to our new found techno pet machines

In today’s world it’s the one thing we cannot do without

Nobody wants to feel alone as they cross the desert

I’ll either laugh or feel sad I missed out on all the fun

My brief time on Facebook sure wasn’t much fun

I got dragged into a global game of gossip and posing

 

How many kids are replacing their sexuality with porn?

Isn't this the ultimate human bond of love and procreation?

Mother Nature’s way of telling us something’s wrong

Those who make it across the desert will be strong

When they finally get to the other side they will know

They will let their children run around in bare feet

They will enable their tribal family to avoid mistakes

They will show some of us how to start over again

And learn to live as humans always have and should

 

Another hit to our Spring?

Looks like Wakefield is about to lose another greenspace to the well oiled wheels of development. The pristine lot just above the Spring and below McGarry's Crematorium is being cadastered by Fortin. I was told the other day that Ron Hill is planning to build there, What??? Oh yeah, I'm sure it will look nice. I remember years ago when I talked with Mr. McGarry about the building of the crematorium (remember those quiet days?), he told me he would spare that little patch of beauty which over the years I am grateful for (first I had to get off his back!). I will be sad to see it go and I wonder if this may be the straw that breaks our beloved spring. Seems everything comes with a limited time warranty.
