Affluence.
Chris Duffy said:

Hi Dave- Tallisman .

Thanks again for the kind words.

These ideas just stay in my head until I release them into the page.

I drive a company car which is a petrol- electric hybrid and my MD and I were talking about electric vehicles.

He secretly shares my view on these things but has to portray a green image.

We laugh at the absurdity of it all and that’s we’re it originated.

The house buying thing cane from. The fact that my wife and I moved from a terrace street to a detached on an estate and the folks were not as friendly.

Hope you’re well buddy.

All the very best.

Affluence.

The influence of affluence is pernicious in western (and quite possibility the rest) societies, Chris.
Normally I find poetry longer than four or five stanzas hard work. Not this one. From Maggie’s big sell-off of any Council housing which could remotely be thought of as “desirable” (didn’t buy into my 6th floor residence halfway up a tower block) through to sketches of pretentious wallopers engaged in ostentatious demonstrations of a commitment to their very own climate change solution, I’ve had my entertainment for the evening.
Thanks.

Breathe
Doggerel Dave said:

For me it has always been \'one day at a time\'; however I can, at this point in my life, see one breath as more appropriate, Chris.
Neatly done - thanks.

we always tend to forget just how much precious a gift life is. this made me remember, realize and cherish every moment i spend more and to never leave behind regrets. thank you for sharing so much wisdom in such a few lines!
keep it up!

Breathe

(one sipped breath, at a time
we find
life, awaiting our awareness
just gotta remember
each sip, is a gift
and we\'re one stifled breath
from that most permanent
and impotent of belated, regret...)
so much learned, wisdom
in such a short read
thanks for sharing, dear Poet

Progress?
Doggerel Dave said:

I shouldn\'t, but I found this portrait of society going down the gurgler vastly entertaining by virtue of it\'s truth, Chris.

Progress?
L. B. Mek said:

they turned one , decades ago
into a film studio
it burned down, and
I could understand
if no fire fighter was willing
to endanger their life
for a building, that was stolen
from them..
oh and
\'“We’ve had to chop the Police force.\'\'
yeah, down here
they\'re chopping, whole stations
and then, our mayor
promises, response time\'s
won\'t be affected, at all...
what kinda maths they do
in that council office
covenant, bubble
that, more with less
witchcraft..?
(oh and year on year rise
on deathly, crimes
have no relation, so they
tell us..)

I\'m sure there\'s some stuff there which would be quite handy - when can I come round, Chris? Mind you, I\'d have to clear out my kitchen cupboard first.....
