Six Million Candles
dusk arising said:
Each and every one of those candles should burn into our soul, our conscience, so that never ever should any such chrime against humanity be contemplated ever again.
Do we ever learn peace and brotherhood of peace?

Good write, Neville.
Paranoia is becoming the root of all evil.

Judging fit to be demonized is all too familiar as you outline fools\' logic here with a great last line - - with that title too you hit the nail smartly my artful friend.

Victimisation and prejudice - a portrait too painful - wonder you could find the words, Neville - but you did.

Not so easy to tear up and build houses upon as those old railway lines, long removed, which we morn today.Empty harbours echoing the call of seabird... where are our fish?
Great poem Neville which raised in me the hopeful thought that our solid old harbours shall once again see the tides turn and have a second calling. They do have a rugged beauty which cries out all of your verses to those who pause to behold.

Fished out - \'sorry to make this reductionist and personal Neville, but it is reminiscent of the empty toilet roll shelves as we just enter lockdown here.
Too many people too much greed.
Powerful little warning. Many thanks.

yes: we certainly are, aren\'t we
and not - so much, just metaphorically either, sadly
its that Icarus - of foolhardy heredity, I suspect...
that\'s a razor sharp wit you\'ve cultivated my friend
you can recognise incisive humour
when the words paint a worryingly sobering reality
yet you\'re still - genuinely
laughing with unfathomable gaiety...
brilliantly executed!
a write I wish, I possessed the talent to pen: sincerely
a bit early in the week and day, I know
but cheers for the giggles anyway, my friend 🍻

Definitely a twit - so far so good. Should also be nominated for a Darwin Award....or perhaps if he was from my era, he was told that if he drew on a certain funny cigarette he would believe he could fly...doesn\'t quite work Neville, but it\'s the best I can do.....

what a mesmeric read of subtly detailed
sensory nuanced: inflections, dear poet
jolted - me, back
to my days of traversing
this beautiful Island of ours, daily
on that return trip, from
King Cross to Waverley - 6am till 9pm
and those, rare
but lifetime imprinted, images
of sublime sunrise and sunset, picturesque scenes
I was being being paid: to experience;
sadly, I was but a self-centred teen
foolishly assuming, I would witness
much more grandeur sights - during, my life;
how, cruel
the time it takes for some of us, to realise
the true simplicity
in Nature\'s unsurpassable beauty...

Enjoyable ride, Neville.
Drove one once, my uncle was a fireman on the Southern out of Charlottesville and one night took me to the yard and the engineer let me drive over to fetch water. 70 years later still as vivid as that day.

I am a devotee of the romance of steam locomotion and the whole aura around the latter days of branch line operation. Nearby we have the severn valley railway which is splendid but we never see an 0-4-2T loco or a small prairie loco with an autocoach. Thank goodness for the reminders of youtube.
Your piece took me straigh into GWR past days of romance and I enjoyed the trip.

Thanks for the poetic ride, even though not on this journey, have taken a few in India, seems like many centuries ago on the old steam trains. There is a completely different experience when one is at a train station, the hustle and bustle has its own charm mixed with the multitude of vendors and coolies, yes even now.
