The Cosmic Blob  Robert Palmer  Copyright 1980


Earth year 2000 is fast approaching


People abound, pushing animals around,


Making room for themselves and paving over the ground.


Balance is coming due. - Will mankind be through?


Time waits for no one.


Fossilized bones, decaying stones, oxygen loans, groaning moans,


Karmic pay zones. - FLASH - Nuclear holocaust.


Oh please, lets not go down that path; so sad if we do,


so dark , so bad, makes me mad!! Makes me mad!!


But I’m glad I know, even if we do, life will still grow,


reaching out of the ash, to perceive, and believe and achieve.


Flowing and growing, gradually knowing - new seeds of regeneration,


and evermore sowing - like a monsoon blowing,


building from chemical to cellular to organ and body;


with mental and spiritual cosmic progression,


a dance expression, a sense perception - arc and curve


knees and back, make two and three,


circled round forms one, and four a square.


The earth is round and radiates sound


across, over, and under both sea and ground,


Sunlight shining, warm and bright,.


Earth year 2000 people abound recovering the ground,


bringing into balance the morning dew,


working together a spaceship crew,


spreading the love force clear and true,


Hope for the mellow flow, help the green peace show,


Imagine the earth in its glow,


will the party poopers ever know?


Have no fright, well be alright.


Well be all together like the furs of a magic feather.


All we need is some pure and simple insight.


The choice is ours; a desolation of plastic jars, worse than Mars,


encased - and waiting to be erased,


or a happy planet with all life forms, living


together in a balanced expression of the ultimate plan,


the dance flow of life crossing the infinite span.


Whatever has been, always will be - but - will it be on frequency EARTH.


Please! Let us awake from this medieval night.


This mad evil night,


Lets tune in with the morning light! Please lets do what’s right; its still within sight.


The suns now shining bright!.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..


Lets reorder our lives, lets stop these senseless dives,


Lets free ourselves from blind technology’s blight.


Please! No more war!


No more nuclear plants!


No more pork barrel dams!


No more plastic Uncle Sam’s!


No more Idi Amins


Or Shahs of Irans! Or invaded Afghans! Or Tiennaman Squares!


No more wiped out Wacos or Oklahoma Citys. No more suicide bombers.


No more terrorist attacks, snipers, or wars on Iraq.


Sunlight shining, warm and bright,..


Earth year 2003 - people abound recovering the ground, .bringing the balance that is overdue,


No! Were not through! Were spreading the love force, reaching out to you.


And everyone else on this earth life zzzoooo.

Originally written in 1980 this poem expresses my world view and is just as relevant today as when it was orignally put together.

I agree with this in so many ways, Growing up I had woods all around me, now I go back to that same neighborhood and it's all condo's and parking lots :no:
we also used to have snow every year for at least a few weeks straight, now with the temperature changes we are lucky to get a day or two at most
I've always loved walking in the woods, clearing my head, thinking and breathing and just looking...now I have to bus somewhere to find woods to walkin. it's horrible.

change is good, you go first.
Light travels faster than sound, which is why a person can appear bright, until they open their mouth.
hating me won't make you pretty.
I am so pleased to receive your comment. Pleased to hear from someone who understands and agrees with the ecological aspect of my words. And to also have a comment from such a special artist is also a pleasure to me. Thank you. I am pleased to be sharing with you.

Thank you for your response. Glad you appreciate nature and you like my poem. I used to get to the woods more myself than lately......I also need some more time in the woods and under the moon. Curious which mountains you are in that are getting more casinos?
