Isn\'t life staged?
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

HI SILVER ~ SHAKESPEARE WROTE \"All of life\'s a stage ~ and we people merely players\" To some extent he was correct. We are born in certain place ~ in a certain time (Historical Period) MALE or FEMALE (which plays a big part in our role !) and with our character (to some extent) conditioned by our natural parents DNA. No HUMANS are born EQUAL we are all born different ~ I am ENGLISH (by conditioning) and you are AMERICAN ~ and that would be obvious to anyone meeting us for the first time. The roles we play are conditioned by time ~ IQ ~ opportunity etc. However in the 21st C in the USA and the UK we have a great degree of freedom to play different roles and evn to forsake our roots ~ even AMISH TEENS get that choice. As HUMANS we have great potential and it is up to us to try to make the best of who we are (Racially) ~ where we are (Geographically) and when we are (Historically). We all have an inner Animal ~ I like to think of myself as a BEAR ~ but a TEDDY BEAR and not a GRIZZLY BEAR ! Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours BRIAN (UK) Please check my Poems ~ Thanks B.

I am also going through some issues with my brother at the minute so I can relate. The pain is magnified profoundly because it is family; the very people you expect to support and love you through thick and thin. I hope the situation gets better for you; because if you can\'t count on family... Please keep writing, and keep your chin up :) xx

Love this poem SILVER ~ Boys don't have dollies (only living ones) ! My Sister had lots many of them ethnic. Even though she's married now with little girls of her own ~ she still hangs on to her Doll Collection. Your poem is beautifully crafted ~ rhyming couplets ~ easy to read and recite. Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
