Don\'t know if these critters are still around but it seems that we coexist with many creatures. Hope his yaping has calmed by now and hope that the mouse has not enlarged his family.

There is nothing any of us can do to prevent these politicians doing things just to please themselves and blow the public who voted for them.

Politicians kill more people per year than than drugs, alcohol, malaria and great white sharks .. They also tell more lies than most other so called professionals too ..

Dave I found this ingenious and novel to present a background for the poem in dialogue. Very nicely done.

Suburban Solidarity
sorenbarrett said:

There are always neighbors like this. In Salt Lake City, where my sister lives, the council has suggested that all people now do away with lawns and trees to save water since they need more revenue from the people they want to attract for more taxes. I can\'t imagine yards with green painted cement.

Well, at last the truth is known. I have to filter through the garbage to find a morsel of intellect, sometimes, now more than often. Thank you for bringing this forward. It remains that everyone is welcome here. And not everyone is an accomplished poet. Some are here to learn basics, others to hone their skills and some, apparently, to survive. I use your system and find those without any info about themselves usually write in a very immature way, not all, but most. I suspect they are just youngsters exploring the world of poetry. Others lay out a very dark profile and write like it\'s the end of the world. (Maybe it is,) Through it all I still find enough good stuff to warrant my time. Some sights have age limits, but I fear those for I may lose on the high end. Oh well I\'m rattling on. Glad you posted this. - Phil A.

Great Expectations
sorenbarrett said:

Truth in advertising. Buyer beware is the moto. This one made me smile and was well written in that my lack of trust in advertising led me to know something was coming but not sure what, I had to wait until the last line to get the full effect. Thanks for the fun.

Finale
sorenbarrett said:

I have also pondered on all these possibilities and am not religious but would say spiritual, not that I believe in spirits as such. I have been pushed into the area of panphysicism and Spinosa\'s God. I loved the poem and its dilema.

Corrupt or \"do-nothing\" leaders keep getting elected by the people. It is time for the people to wake up and insist on action and truth. _ Phil A.

Besides your poetry, your forthrightness is one of the things that I love most. You are a provocatuer in the very best sense of the word, and when I see your moniker attached to verse I know I\'m in for something unique and stimulating.

Nature - got to be a winner!?

What a great metaphor Dave. It always seems that I\'m stepping in it. It\'s the clean up that gets me.

Dear friend, you say it so well! United we stand, but it\'s the uniting part we seem to have the most trouble with. We who vote should have the power, and that power comes when we take the responsibility to be informed and to demand accountability. Will ever the twain meet? Great Write dear friend!

Until the system of polotics changes this will always be true. Polititions are elected by pleasing the greatest number of constituents so no action is often safer than any action. I\'ve read Plato, Marx, Jefferson and many others, none of them have the answer. Enjoyed the read.

My oh my! Is it paranoia or am I not spending enough time reading? I always make up excuses. I think my ratio is down. Oh yes, I have been asked for more information about myself. I guess it is not paranoia after all. A very good poem and well put. I have to get to work.
