Just A Squirrel Looking For A Nut - Part I

I've had just enough time to...   see a squirrel hunting for nuts.

Saw this squirrel looking for nut in Lake Chini, Pahang, Malaysia

This world is a complicated place

For a squirrel  just looking for a nut

Not asking for much

Not asking for much

No need to hoard them in a pile

No need to bury them over the place

Just enough to get it by

When winter comes around

But the forest is gone

In its place concrete spawn

And the nuts that grow on trees

Are no longer to be found

No longer to be found

This world is no place for a forest

This world is no place for a squirrel

This world is no place for a nut

What Is Green To You?

I've had just enough time to...   ponder green.

Taken from the top of a concrete silo in Cilegon, Indonesia of two shades of green.

The green of growth, vibrant

The green of decay, slimy

The green of spring, refreshing

The green around the gills, ailing

The green of apple, juicy

The green of jealousy, bitter

The green of nature, abundance

The green of inexperience, stumbling

The green of jade, virtuous

The green of money, corrupting

The green of balance, harmony

The green of light, go!

The green of love, Aphrodite

The green of bile, virulent

Apple, asparagus, chartreuse, fern

Forest, harlequin, honeydew and lime

Mantis, shamrock, olive, mint,
Pistachio, spring, teal and pine

The cloak Muhammad wore

The altar cloth of Catholics priests

The quetzal plumes on top Aztec chiefs

The beer drank on St. Patrick's Day

The singular colour of Libya’s flag

The virtue of China's jade

In the Rising Sun, eternal life is said to

Contain strings of green's thread

But,

What is green to you?
