The attack that occurred in Australia yesterday is deeply disturbing. On a sacred day for the Jewish community, 11 innocent individuals lost their lives in a gun massacre attack while thousands gathered for a menorah lighting ceremony. This tragic event is heartbreaking and brings to mind the vulnerability we all face. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, loved ones, and the entire Jewish community, who, like many others, deserve to live without fear of such atrocities in our world.
Dave, your poem serves as a commentary on the contradictions inherent in the idea of a \"land of opportunity,\" revealing the darker side of consumerism and societal values, prompting readers to reflect on what opportunity truly means.

Imagine being on the list, but in the gun club.
It sort of beggars belief.
Western countries give too many rights to individuals, this being one of them.
Lunatics running the asylum.

Plan on doing a little hunting Dave? The color of the type makes me a little concerned about blood letting. As for the message I hear you and second the motion money and an economy based on consumption is certainly built upon the idea of carpe diem and damn tomorrow. Nicely done

That\'s funny, cos the shop in the centre has been closing down for forty years, too.
KP says just go into comedy gold cos old father time is still showing.
We need a neighbours spin off now. Something like. Find a neighbour. A neighbour in need, is usually a pest. Must go and explain to the neighbour how I fell through his fence, hate that.

verse 1 - seems a tad bit that non conformity is your style of facing the world heads on -
agree with the second verse
the third - well says it as it is
Let the ego run riot as long as its not hurting anyone - you can call it self confidence....

Cooeee! I\'m not going nowhere either. Which means I\'m going somewhere. I won\'t go. I\'ll hang around like a .........bad smell?! lol.
They might take me away though, men in white coats. I\'ve seen too much of \'Neighbours\'. lol.

Bet you Frank\'s bank balance did it his way.
I myself will not be using it at my own flushing down the pan ceremony, mainly because it\'s on speed dial at all funerals now.
Got a feeling they\'ll be checking my coffin just to make sure I\'m in it.

Well said. The poem addresses themes of individuality, conformity, cooperation, and the irony of celebrating personal freedom while also acknowledging the inevitability of social connections and communal experiences, particularly in the context of life\'s final moments, such as funerals.

Well, depending on one\'s age and attainments, were one a singer, that\'d be the future, should one outlive his friends. But I\'m too sorely lacking sleep to be useful. Prettily rendered with a hint of imagery and a curious poignancy.

Ohh, I hate that song for funerals - so selfish, arrogant, etc. Not that I\'ve been to a funeral where it\'s been sung thankfully. Sir Orchi NS - VC, OBE, MBE, FRS, BBC, ITV signing off. Got that last bit from a Carry On film.
