Prehensile
Adjective
(said about an animal’s foot or tail etc.) able to grasp things
[from latin, prehendere = seize ]
If you prehensile the tinsel
then pin it on the donkey
Pin the tail on the donkey
Feel the motion of it’s wagging tail
as I spin you round
like an excited puppy
Feel the dizzying circles
while your vision is wiped by a cloth
and encouraging cheers surround
from your friends who watch you stumble
Prehensile the tail to the sheet
as you would life
Life that has a blind future
and a dizzying past

Excess
Noun
too much of something
- in excess of more than [same origin as exceed]
An excess in money
is greed’s greatest wish
To have so much
that they can bathe in it
Oh money eyes
what need do you have for such an excess
That you would kill for green paper
rather than our green earth
is a saddening thought
It’s funny
That we think of green
as the purest of nature
as well as the greed of money
Two parallel forces
but still as linked as their colour
You are ruining nature for money
not for necessity
security or comfort
and most definitely not for your future generations
You have well surpassed those needs
So why?
Is it your fear of falling numbers?
Of losing what you call yours
Your privilege
You will lose more than privilege
if our earth were to burn
Money would be the least of your concerns then
So please
stop your excess in greed
Your money eyes
Help us ensure a better future
