Each day, we read, how we’re, so smart We invent and make more things, So if we are, let’s play our part, Make sure the work no evil brings. Progress is the general call, Most has a value true, But equally our minds can be Blinded by the selfish view. Again it seems self-centred greed …

What did I see?
When we say “I saw it!”,Perhaps we ought to say,We glanced at an imageBefore we looked away.When you draw you really look,The right shape to defineAnd so with Nature, really lookThe great beauty there to find.So in your Explorations,Look underneath the stone,In between the grassesFor they are not aloneHundreds of little creaturesEach with a life …
With deep regret.
Once again we mourn, the loss of a great soulWhose unselfish life was ended, by a selfish devoteeUnknown, his motivation, or his intended goal,But by his mindless violence, he killed a great MP. These belated words, just describe the great frustration.Of those who write, too late, their superficial linesKnowing, those who really need, their thoughtful …

The Young Visitor
Bell rings, door opens, no “Hallo!” or, “By your leave!”Passing through the hallway, wipes her nose upon her sleeve,Through the open kitchen – she quickly found the way,To where she knows the toys are. She settles down to play. At Two, (do we remember?), the World was great indeed,Plenty of love and lots of food, …
