The travel of the Future – Dave Burnham

Transport has become integral to human life, so surely it can’t be beyond the wit of man to make it truly sustainable.

Glide

Longing for a ride that glides

That runs on sparks and air

The kind that leaves no lasting marks

Neither here nor there

A battery with an afterlife

Components all recycled

Safety for all wildlife

Conscience left unbridled

Hover above the potholes

Leave no wear and tear

Driven by mind control

No impact sure la Terre

Fossil fuels consigned

Back into the past

The future defined

By a mode that could last

May be an image of road

The Biosphere

The Biosphere.

Protecting the biosphere

Must be the key priority.

Living on this planet

With sustainability.

More hedges, more ponds,

More streams, more trees.

More swifts and swallows,

More hedgehogs please.

The time bomb of climate change

Is kicking us.

It’s time for us to change

And board

The environment bus.

Protecting the biosphere

Must be the key priority.

Living on this planet

With sustainability.

Opher – 30.9.2020

So much has been lost. We’re all part of something bigger. We need to look after it.
