David Pass Biography

The snow fell slowly; soft and white.
Building up on freezing ground.
It didn't stop through day or night.
Hiding all and muffling sound.

Pretty flowers, a bush, a tree.
My friends and family close to me.
Watch the wildlife - a honey bee.

The sun shone down on the African plain.
The trees and the grass were short of fresh rain.
Giraffes munched slowly from tall thorn bushes.
Hippos in the pool were hid by rushes.

When land was seized and peasants killed
To stay alive you had to fight
Just as your tribal leader willed

Before the first cow, sheep or goat.
When none of the Earth was covered in ice.
When few creatures had a fur coat.
