Edward Graham Macfarlane
self-appointed poet laureate on the global people scene
 
"CIVIS COSMOS SUM"
 
Three words to carve in granite o'er my Auchtermuchty grave,
The ultimate indication of the "land" I tried to save,
But  do not call me a Scot or Brit or Aryan or Jew
Or even European when my final call comes through.
Just an ultimate distillation of my focus for my mind..
After near a hundred years of trying to leave my message for mankind.
From youth I've sought for freedom to tell the truth I see,
But the editors of the media have not been fair to me.
II was not born to be a liar like Moses or the Pope,
But freedom of speculation was my reasonable hope,
Freedom for the heretic  as well as freedom for the fool,
Who cannot see  the sense in a global-minded school..
A school for global citizens who all agree to be,
Like NASA men and others who Jehovah cannot see.
I have not seen Jehovah or Allah or Zeus or the Golden Calf,
And I think all naked apes around me should enjoy a laugh
When I say that all are phantoms of uneducated minds,
Which profess to see the invisible to minds of other kinds.
New Labour has a blind man to tell us how to teach,
But he has not a diploma. It may be beyond his reach.
But I got my diploma and was measured VERY GOOD
So I believed the lecturers   and hope that is UNDERSTOOD.
The BBC spread rumours that "bad teachers will be sacked."
But they are speaking out of heads which education slacked.
The BBC is BRITISH - MINDED like Blair and William Hague
Where are their teaching diplomas ?  -- see their answers are quite vague!
We need a GLOBAL-FOUNDED NATION to put these matters right.
We need GLOBAL LAW FOR CITIZENS -- with no POPE or QUEEN in sight.
We do not need ARISTOCRACY in government at all,
And I would vote for Blair and a Chinee if this is their call,
There are said to be SIX BILLIONS of homo-saps today,
And this is quite a lot of folk to be in MORTAL ANARCHY.
Geographers inform us 192 nations now exist,
And that is quite a problem with many warlords round the twist.
So revert back to my slogan, "CIVIS COSMOS SUM"
"SACK the globe of nations" and for my brilliant views MAKE ROOM!
