Such an atmospheric write sir! A reminder of what outlasts our human working span. We are not all Capability Brown who also would attract matted web were it not for continued labours.
Really like this piece M.E. and it is a must for my favourites.

ANGELA HERE - Good Morning Uncle Mike - Welcome back we have missed your artwork and your words of wisdom which makes you a very precious & unique contributer to this site. In a time of Universal Pandemic *change & decay in all around we see !* It is salutary when an oft castigatesd *Rags to Riches* England Fooballer like Man Us RASHFORD takes the Government to task in respect of support for Children on *Free School Meals* being given support during the *School Holidays*. The *Beautiful Outcome* is that RASHFORD won and the Government reversed its Policy ! As with CAPTAIN TOM - It just takes One Man / Woman to reverse selfishness & restore ALTRUISM !
Thanks for your pic & poem ~ it has given me new strength to CARPE DIEM !
Please check SHOPPING (Yesterday) - Thanks !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🤍💙

Good write and pic M.
I know a couple of con men who stopped me (reported to police now). Supposed gardeners, driving about with an empty truck! No equipment, and no name on the truck.

A watercolour of creative intrigue Michael and it sets the scene so well for the words. One read of the verse had me near tears - - its poignant flow and pace of each line is just perfect - - one of your best in humble opinion my friend and a fave for sure.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:
HI UNCLE MIKE - Brian here - I have in my hand - A copy of the American Declaration of Independence (4th July 1776) written by Thomas Jefferson. In line 3 it states *All Men are Created Equal* When one visits the USA one very quickly realises it is one of the most UNEQUAL COUNTRIES on Earth to be born into. Also remember that Jefferson himself was a Slave Owner so he was well aware of the disparity betweenTHEIR Social Status compared with HIS. If you listen to Elvis Presleys *In the Ghetto* and consider the *Murder of George Floyd* you realise nothing has really changed and probably never will ! Even @ the point of conception the Inequalities of BIRTH - LIFE - DEATH are indelibly coded in the DNA ! I consider JEFFERSON to be *One of the Greatest US Presidents* but He was a Philosopher & An Idealist Not a Sociologist !
Your final line should read:
DESPITE INEQUALITY !
I agree 100% with the other three !
Love the ARTWORK *Strangers on the Shore* That is the legacy of COVID 19 on South-End-on-Sea !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian - Angela - Smokey Cat !

Love Your Poem! Period. Don
Thing is that because we worship success here (USA) like a god, we think that is a Christlike trait that shows Jesus is on your side. When Jesus stood for everything these so called evangelicals are standing against. As in we could want to be on Jesus\'s side especially as we live in a time of Grace. By Sharing & Caring, Living & Loving one another individually for who we are. You can\'t get to the Beauty of someone unless you can get past the ugly you see in yourself.

A point well made and I wholeheartedly agree with. Whilst being in agreement i also feel that being apparently priveledged by the colour of my white skin i feel i should stand by those of other skin colour to support them in their claim that they are my equal in every priveledged respect. I am proud to stand up with my fellow human beings and use my personal ability to say that which some may not have the eloquence to say.

THE FOLK WHO EAT NUTS
dusk arising said:
Remember the two castaways kidnapped by the local tribe, they were told they would be freed if they carried out two tasks without laughing. Nowgo away and bring back as many nuts as you can hold. Quite quickly one returns absolutely loaded with monkey nuts. Now stuff them up yer bum and you can go free, the castaway begins and suddenly bursts out laughing.... why are u laughing asks the chief..... I\'ve just seen my mate, he\'s collecting coconuts.
Pistachios used to be my failing.
