World caves in

World caves in

i sit alone in painful times as I seem to in all times, I sit and look upon the world and wonder why..........why.........why is it the world is driven by narcacissm, hubris and the ever increasing need for instant self gratification, a world of beauty transformed into a gamorrean garden of visceral excess. All depth left for dead, love sits forgotten weeping tears of diamonds as the world is consumed by cheap lust, when did we stop caring when did people just become things to be used and thrown into the mud as they move to the next and the next and the next. Why is it so quiet now, why is it so empty, why is it so cold. When did it become stupid to have morality and standards and self control, when did love become a word to be thrown around as just some empty sentiment, when did sorry lose meaning, when did words become just words.

he sits upon the earth frozen to the touch but warm deep within, he looks upon the people and weeps that they shall never see or feel what real love is, he dreams of things that will never be because the world grows dark around him, his heart so big it was thought unbreakable people had cut it, times had aged it, people had crushed it beneath heavy boots, but he stood back up again and again denying the fall he could see, but then he saw what we had become, what everything was, is and shall be, and his mighty heart broke in two, now he sits invisible to all holding within his hands the pieces of a once great and beautiful heart.

We had chooks when I was a kid and a goat for that matter, I am a country boy, to busy to loud and to close in the city, I have beaches summer can be a pain but if you know your way you can still find seclusion, chooks go in throw down some feed collect up some eggs give them water just like other birds really

No they stay in their chook pen well might give them a wander after I am done mowing they like picking around, I think my sisters school had chooks and my niece had a similar thing where they took chicks home to take care of over the weekend

It's really good for the kids to be dealing with living creatures .... takes them out of themselves a bit ...

My mum was from farm people. It was so great to go back and visit. Cows, chickens, ducks, horses, turtles ... 😏

Re: World caves in

We were never farm people we just tended to have animals, just like we had a huge veggie garden, and there was lots of farms around, and I can hear the sound of cows overnight

In response to: Re: World caves in

Re: World caves in

We was more for the eggs than the meat, we had axes but that was for the wood chopping, we only really went that way with the fishing, I am sure I could do it if it was required but well a single meal vs a regular supply of protein, doing them a mischief not really my area unless it's needed really, we bought our chicken meals from the butcher

Re: World caves in

Re: World caves in

Oh I remember as a teenager someone had a chicken escape and me and dad ended up casing the Bugger all around someone's backyard for about an hour before we caught the thing
