TRUE HISTORY
Lorna said:
I have this uneasy feeling about the \"great\" characters in history. One the one hand of course they are presented as what has made up the world......... and make terrific reading....but then if you examine, how many were not obsessed with themselves and giving little thought to the people they affected. The everyday people are the ones that had to make the most of what was done to them......

Ah the lies of history. In text books it truly lies, then lies on the lips of everyman. And history lies to the leity. Mostly history recounted lies for it is the history of the vanquishers choosing not the truth. History = a weapon of mass deception.
Very thought provoking piece ME

Michael,
A thought provoking write with a poignant illustration! Personally, I have much to ponder upon...
Ordinary lives that were snuffed in three minutes! Their history has been decided!

Very true but what we also need to realise is that history is written by the winners, what if the losers were right.
Love the drawing.

A fin and true write Michael. We\'re blessed with this country with the monarchy though, I feel, compared to some places.

Thank you Michael.
A beautful poem!
I remember November as a child - Gosh the skies were pitch black and how darkness and winter descended upon us!
Keep writing

Loved it, Michael!
INSPIRATION served you
well I see! She found her
path...and slowly, so am I!
Awesome last stanza!
Of course, your painting
is beautiful! It reminds me
of a lovely Bed&Breakfast
place by a lake that I\'ve
had the pleasure to stay at!

Laugh out loud at the Elton John quip, better sounds are heard at the mothers union under 12\'s karaoke festival i fear. What ever happened to that mans singing ability ...it used to be good but...
No 4 reminds me that the best place for silent discharge cannot be other than in the check-out queue on a friday night shopping trip accompanied by a disgraceful grimace \'pointed\' at the person ahead of you in the queue.
Definately brought good fun to me again here... thank you.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks MICHAEL ~ One liners are (relatively) easy to write but difficult to digest ~ I like the \"pattern\" of this poem and it\'s one I might plagiarise ! Now abideth these FOUR ~ but the greatest if these is: ELTON JOHN WITHOUT VOCALS He trained at the Royal Academy to be a CONCERT PIANIST ~ which he is ~ but his hands (a necessity for a pianist) were the wrong size & shape. When he left the Academy someone suggested he tried singing and the rest is MYSTERY ! the same is true of LIBERACE etc. Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN

oh my.... some of these are writing stories in my mind
you must surely be a very busy man to throw away such wonderful lines rather than include them into some of your wonderful works
I\'m particularly impressed with 3, 4 and 5
