We Never Know.
Garth Rakumakoe said:

Some puppets on a string we are. Talks of a new world order are heard sporadically, but nothing ever happens. Far too few control far too many.

Good write Gold.
I tell people: \'I\'m still alive\'. They say \'Ahh, good\'.
I say \'I\'m still singing\'. They say \'Oh no!!\' lol.

We Never Know.
spilleronsheet said:

So well stated
The struggle of proletariats and the rule of capitalists
The money kept dividing us
We wishEd to rise but who knew we were always deprived
They played with our mind
And alas we never realised
What did the heart want inside
A powerful depiction of socio-economic state of world

We Never Know.
SureshG said:

If the measure of success is monetary/possessive wealth, and achievement by whatever means, then the debate becomes redundant.
Show me a person of humble means who understands and lives as one with nature and I will surely follow.
Thanks

So true and seems to me they are winning. When I think about it, just about everything going wrong with the earth is about greed.

orchidee said:

It\'s those \'they\' who are greedy - whoever they are. They must have names. They can\'t just be faceless or anonymous.
Did \'they\' say to me \'Don\'t turn up in 1066\'? But I did!

Nicholas Browning said:

True that. Being the little guy has its limits. We just need to hope we don\'t turn into them if we make it that far. An insightful write Andy.

dusk arising said:

Well \'they\' don\'t live in the same world as we do. Their descisions for us minions don\'t effect them in their higher social-economic groupings.

As you say, we can always ammend aspects of our lives. Sometimes the necessity for change is thrust upon us for all sorts of reasons and I am thankful that, so far in life, I have been able to make changes and cope with their necessity. Wherever possible seeking out the positive aspect of any change.
Too many moan and groaners who seem opposed to change. Example is the idiots who wont accept covid injections.

Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose) said:

Your right …. But I think that if and when we go through difficult things , it’s then that we want the more … sadness trauma , for example we know we deserve more than that . And because we are in pain , we want the ‘ more ‘ … always something to be grateful for tho

Nice poem anyhow )

“We look at what we’ve got,

What we have got in our lives,

And not at what we haven’t.”

Absolutely correct!

Amen!

in your home, before
gazing, wishfully
upon those greener mirages
at your double glazed
and rain stained, window)

So true
Answers some questions that keep me awake
I shall not let go of what I have
Maybe I may not have it tomorrow
Thanks a lot dear Andy

SureshG said:

Till the last line, I thought the ghost was just everybody else’s conjecture, and now I know you wanted the whole building to your self. What’s your secret ‘cause I haven’t been able to scare anyone away.
Love the read
