1.
cease production / always sail with the wind behind you / dare we look to solutions? / reimagining of values / a hard truth / breed less / do less / be less / need means need / want is dead / entertain yourself / the simple things / these are the rules now / heavy enforcement / heavy / outside freedom sits hope / a fist to hold you
2.
answers not found in these parameters / oceans will take us as they have before / aspirations submerged / lost to history once again / winds will pay no mind / arrogance washed away / no trace of the big ask / importance in perspective / timed out / gone
3.
comfort is not on offer / no better standard of living / technology futile / it only serves growth / perish / allow / accept / understand / outside our span / longevity / duration / choice is central to the forced hand / cherry pick / human cost powers the clock / backing the unsustainable / champion the short term / what is considered fundamental is beyond capacity / pin down and hold to account / short of the ballot / nature will bring its justice
4.
Sleepwalkers 06:34
how do we mark success? / the way we set our goals? / the objectives on which we agree? / the outcomes we seek? / the road that we travel? / the mistakes we make? / fundamentals of vision / carried away / set out without thought / short term / terminal / take this / be numb / you have our consent / this is progress / it’s yours / sleepwalkers / the luxury we can ill afford must end
5.
this will outlive me / so keep it in check / a race to rot / count to one / how much colour do you need? / freedom chokes / you talk / fuck me you can talk! / short of the mark / stand with the righteous / as you were / as you are / growth is a dirty word and we know it / step up / fuck up / are we built for change? / no! / my shit my legacy / we hold the cards / reality with a price tag / pay for what you don’t want to hear / tomorrow / tomorrow / just soak it up and live for the day / we developed thumbs / are you ready for the thumbscrews? / or have we already lost? / do we fucking care? / honestly do we fucking care? / you have a tear in your eye / there’s a pill for that / onwards and upwards missing the point / these mammals miss the point

about

Can we be trusted with our freedoms? Collective choices engineered for a short parliamentary term with only an occasional nod to true sustainability. We will, in time, run out of options.... What will fill this political space? Who will hold our feet to the fire? Hope and loss of liberty hand in hand.
