Both of these stories are about awakening the Hero that lies within. The first story is sad but with contained hope. The second one contains possibilities as yet not completely realized. Not only must the generation of this age fully wake to the problems that confront us in a Global Warming and its causes, but to what must become the collective responsibility and common direction of humankind, to prepare for the future while working in the present - now. There is hope, but it must be bold, a hope that will empower and enable us to confront the seen and unseen difficulties that lie ahead. All over the world people dream, wish and hope for a new future, with new possibilities, for a real human race. Those seeds of hope are sown, they've taken root already, but now unfortunately 'Time' overtakes us, so we are in need of a mass cultivation of seeds of hope, everywhere, in many directions simultaneously for this story to continue, the Human story. We know our story is not over yet, but we are the last generation that can still do something for the future of our children and humanity.

All the short story-poems relate to Global Warming, but in this project mainly to the social effects coming from the same connected causes. You will hear two voices in this book, one of them is yours. 'Seeds of Needs' is about how we, as people, of our countries, of our world, as mums and dads are being prevented and held back from achieving the needed changes to save our planet from policies and actions that block any progress towards a more democratic and social care in our world. This book is about how everybody everywhere, desires and needs social change; so it's about the voice of the 99% of humanity. But to be fair and bring a little balance, we include equal space to the voice of the 1%: the makers and controllers of policies that rule our world. Nothing except strong directed human emotion, personal and collective, will produce enough energy and impulse to affect and maintain a change in our social and world circumstance - in the time we need it most. This book is about this emotion. We've been informed by our own scientists that our planet 'speed heats', and that climate change is already under way. We've also been told that unless we have dramatic social change within our societies and turn away from capitalism and its destructive variations, then it will be civilization collapse. The people in charge of world policies obviously know what's in store. They have seemingly decided on a certain course of action; sadly a world democratic socialism and livable planet is obviously not the choice they made. Instead they have opted for more of the same. You could say our planet is a school; this is a live math's test. We're failing it. And in our case the school closes down. We have less than a generation to re-sit the test and to not fail so dramatically, so that our kids and theirs may have some form of livable future. The fire's at the door, but the party's loud. It seems the controllers of power and policy will not change: they're enjoying the party life too much. They're in charge of the party, the food, the drinks, the entertainment, the security; they're having a ball. And they like to party 24-7-365, they don't want to stop. The main problem, to repeat, for it needs repeating: time runs out, less than a generation to implement the needed changes. This is it, the fire's at the door, but the party's loud. So, wanna be a Hero in an Age of Change? If so, that would be good; our world needs you and needs you now. This item is printed on demand.

Lala has wisdom from an ancient and unknown tribe who are in the world bringing a sense of hope and help everywhere they go. The stories are often about how in her magical and mysterious way she helps others that are hurt, lost or in danger. Through the power of Lala, her friends are able to communicate with each other and with many other creatures of the forest and places where they travel in an unknown time. Some of Lala's unusual friends come from different far off lands. We join Lala and her tribe of friends for a while somewhere on their journey. For Mums and Dads: When we were young, we were all told stories of Myth, Magic and Hope, in one way or another. It's what parents do, for we realize that there is something special about children, they are awake to wonder, until they become immersed in our world of sleep-inducing pastimes, where they become occupied with things that are not always full of wonder. My kids heard different stories from what you will read in these pages, for the stories were always told in the immediacy of the moment, as it often is with kids, settling them down, getting ready for sleep. With many adventures, new characters coming and going as the years passed. The essence of the stories is the same, some fun, a little information, some excitement, a little magic of the forest and mystery of our world, a happy, funny or thoughtful ending. My kids liked the action stories, a lot actually. But funnily enough, as they mentioned to me at some point, "No-one ever dies or gets really hurt in 'Lala stories.'" "Really," says I. "Yea, never," says they, rolling their eyes at me. "Whao, that's strange," says I. I just rolled them back. What else can you do? The important thing for me as a parent was to keep and encourage that 'sense of wonder' all kids have; so that a seed is buried inside, a seed that may grow from them-selves as they become older. Of course, many old fashioned traditional 'fairy-tales' contain elements of horror, for whatever reason that may be. They originate in their own age and change somewhat through time. But even those old stories of magic, myth and horror are now visualized in full glory and gory, blasting impressions into our kid's minds, rather than the natural cognitive imagery that develops as they listen to stories being told to them. In these days it's not far away when our kids become immersed in the technological visual and often negative distractions. Teams of psychologists have studied how to get their emotional hooks into kids and turn them into consumers for life, and unfortunately, that now begins in the early years of wonder. We all want our kids to be emotionally stable, to care about others and not only the 'selfi'. We want them to have a sense and a feeling of hope, born from inside; especially in these days where all sense of inner value is being manipulated and eroded. It's not possible or probably even wise to escape that; our kids have to live and survive in the time they are born into, we all know that. But there is something else that we all know. There is 'something' special that lies deep, buried within all of us, that 'something' that falls asleep to wonder, that, in our quiet and truthful moments, we all feel. Sometimes we awake and realize how lost and disconnected or disembodied we are from our self. If a seed is there that recognizes inherent hope and can maintain a sense of the miraculous of life, even though it's buried and covered over by the necessities and troubles of daily life, then, one day, it may grow, and help support that often fragile structure that we call "our-self". And in the times we live in - every little bit helps. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

When you describe something as 'poetry', it's a very quick way to put people off from reading further, for poetry is often only personal and vaguely understandable to many others. These social-story-poems you will understand. They are about you. They are like parts of a jigsaw; as you read them you will put the pieces together. The stories, like a jigsaw, form a whole picture.We call them social-story-poems because that's what they are, they're not just poems, and yet, they're not just stories. Many are both and they are all connected. They are about social justice and its lack in our Globally Warming World. They are about the causes and effects of inhuman and un-social policies inflicted by the powerful upon the majority of our human race. These days, we're called the 99%.If you want to get a sense and feel for the whole book, read the two pieces on Chess, they're from our last book, 'Seeds of Needs'. They're appropriate. We've put them at the beginning so you can read them first.Both of these social-story-poems hit the subject from two different sides. In our last book we gave equal voice to the 99% and the 1%. This book is a little different, for it has to do with gaining a sense about something that you know is wrong. And that, as an individual, there is little you can do. And yet, only you can do what little you can. You want improvement? - Join a movement.We, like you, are limited in what we can do, but social commentary story-poems combined with drawings and paintings that say a thousand words, we can but try. We all need to be affected and not distracted from the reality of the moment. Where we're at, is one of the few real moments in human history where the clock ticks and time really counts.This is our third book in a Trilogy on Global Warming Awareness. Humanity is at a crossroads and there is only a choice of two possible futures that await us. Our first book is about this choice. In there are only two short stories, one is about the seeds of our sorrow, the policies of the 1%, and the other is about the seeds of our hope - us, the 99. This item is printed on demand.
