They need Barack back - all was sensible then.
They did not listen to me. I told them never to appoint someone with such a dodgy barnet!

Well, written into the constitution is the defence that a tyrant buffoon may only serve two terms maximum.
Looking far to the east no such people\'s power was ever established and we see arising a merciless control which our complacency bolsters.

The speed which cross contamination can hit is expertly poemed in this short but powerful verse - - the whole account sounded to me like someone you knew Nev - but then that maybe not true for your pen is adequate to write appealingly mere imagination. Whatever - - the read had such a compelling dose of poignancy.........x

The sadness of life\'s endings. Life must be a physical symphony for all our organs or the percussion stops.

**** \'Four stars\" for this one, \"pearlescent\" or otherwise. \"Breathing sighs\" of envy here. A very gentle memory of long ago lost but not forgotten beauty. But, hey, let\'s not try to blame poetry for everything. Loved this one. - Phil A.

Absolutely delightful. I write with a broad grin upon my face and a chuckle in my throat.
Such joy of memories and the games we play upon them.
A great tribute to love and attraction.

Picture-perfect this rendering of such a near miss Nev which many of us can surely relate to - another scene of romantic memory that serves as a taste of \"what might have been.\" A poignant write..........x

She drew breath
the violets beckoned
your heart fluttered
memories were made
You do create some lovely images with which to romance.

The Logic of Fools
Goldfinch60 said:
History cannot be changed and breaking down monuments achieves nothing when there are more important issues at stake that can be solved in a more civilised way.
Just a thought though:
\"History is written by the winners - what if the losers were right?\"

We can only ever choose to forget history, though it’ll never change. The past may be full of hard times but we use them to remind us of our shortcomings and to no do them again. Great write Neville.

Nelson is perched about 200 feet up, I believe. We could hire a crane!
If there are hateful monuments, why didn\'t people think of tearing them down long ago?
It doesn\'t achieve much though.

I know where this is coming from of course. Not so long ago there were moves to rename waterloo station, trafalgar square etc because it \'upset\' some of our fellow europeans to be reminded how they had been defeated.
So here we are again but not for the same reasons.
Oddthough that we seemed to rejoice when the crowds did the same to statues of saddam hussein and gadaffi.
Excellent provokative writing on current matters.

Mascara Daze

Hello Neville,
A very superb write.
Every woman has her beauty essential.
I\'m not a mascara person.
I\'m more of an eyeliner and eyeshadow lady with No7 face powder and blusher skilfully applied of course.
Keep writing and safe during these challenging times.

The destructive actions of a mindless few spoil the message of those who seek to bring attention to their genuine and worthy issues. This great write makes the point so well.

Hi Neville,

We shall be saying this till we fade away and the glory of war will continue to eat society and leave its vengence trails.
A fine post today Neville and i am tempted to recount my postings on this heartfelt subject. No doubt November will see a plethera of such but anytime is a good time to remember. But we learn too late in life to save so many good souls.
