IF WE ONLY HAD TIME

So much to do

If we only had time

To halt the decline;

This means me and you

This issue is shared

Yours and mine.

Thanks, Ray. My original which I decided not to post had three other verses. But I thought they were weak. Also I tried to capture the sense of banging our heads on a brick wall by repeating the same message.
I have since decided that the 5th line of this is also too weak. I am minded to replace it with “This future is ours” rather than “This issue is shared”.

The hypnotic repetition is redolent of the mindset we are faced with - looking but not seeing, sort of thing. Clever twist indeed John.

Thankyou, Stephen. The stakes are enormous but the obstacles huge.

Thanks, John. It would be great for the leaders to link arms and sing this. And also explain what they propose to do!

It’s too late for us, Graham. We’ve messed up. The hope is in the kids.
And thanks for the Like, Holden.
