#98 Roger Harington We know

Roger Harington

We know

We know who needs caring for

We know who needs paying more

We know the normal shades of green.

We know we should see no more

So vast a gap between rich and poor

We know the normal shades of green.

We know we cannot ignore

What a planet so polluted has in store

We know the normal shades of green.

We know what we should abhor

We’ll be kinder and fitter than before

We know the normal shades of green

We know how the normal shades of green

An eruption of bluebells interrupts.

Our knowledge may disrupt the normal scene

Or last as long

Its beauty as strong

As the bluebells
