If i Were Made Off Glass
Cassie58 said:
If you were mirror glass, I would be looking at myself :) However, this morning I am looking straight through plate glass and focusing on what’s on the other side. That happens to be a silver birch tree, tresses swaying in a light breeze against a blue sky back drop. Thank goodness for clear glass. Enjoyed the read Tobani.

A Selfish Man.
Cassie58 said:
Hello Tobani, sadly there are many who don’t care about looking after our planet, it is shameful. Beauty spots spoiled by rubbish, rivers and seas polluted with plastic. Locally we have a group of dedicated people who regularly go out and litter pick, keeping the environment clean for those who care. Taking s pride in the neighborhood. A topical write. Have a good Thursday.

Yes, sadly this is true! We always seem to select the wrong kind of people to lead us, and so we are, alas, collectively all partly to blame! A poem with a powerful message!

That’s fine, Tobani. No one could refute the truth behind those four lines.
But since you have gone to the trouble of informing me, should you wish to be better understood, then it would be your responsibility to use language to make clear your position, your reality (however hard or impossible that might be). A good provocation - thanks👍

La, how this culls to mind the mutitudinous references in the Scriptures to this very pitfall. How every last one of us falls prey before we realize what\'s afoot. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy, thank you very much for sharing!
