(I'm not sure what area of the forum this is being posted in, sorry...hopefully "Social" space?)

@TAB @Meowmy @Bunniekins @Bill16 @Glisten @Oaktree @Appleblossom @Judi9877 @Sophia1 @Shaz51 @Jacques @Gibbs @MissGremlin and all. So hard to make a complete list.

Below is my latest poem. I don't know how I feel about it any more. But time to release it into the wild and move on.

Hope it connects for you; in part at least...

Beyond The Pale

With only one at our disposal
With only one to keep us safe
Surely sense must guide us down
The path toward harmony

As one with our environment
As one with our humanity
What use is profit if we destroy
That which sustains our existence?

Conditioned air inflates our lungs
Temperature is on our whim
Outside, nature is less inclined
To yield to such delusions

Insufficient satisfaction
Stimulates disparity
Forever chasing the impossible
Will we never awaken?

To tolerate our slumber
Is to justify the loss
Of the sheer abundance
Entrusted to our care

Is an epic transformation
Possible at this late stage?
Or are we rather self-condemned
To pale into insignificance?

StuF

Your poem rings with truth. Yes, there are frustrations in these difficult times that need to be recognised.

Thanks

@StuF interesting StuF. i saw a freeway chase today between a motorbike rider and 3 police cars! i was talking to my support worker as we drove along and then "VOOM!" past my window it made me jump and then 3 police cars went screaming after him. Then about 30 mins afterwards on the other side of the road we saw a lone man walking along the freeway talking on his phone (i put my money he was the rider!). was all a bit exciting. how has your day gone?
