I like the play on words Andy,
although your words cut a little too close to the bone, for me to nod and smile along
\'see, this cesspool virtual reality: we title society
politicises every aspect of existence
to the extent, we\'re taking nature walks
with VR goggles plastered to our eyes
while exclaiming wonder
at this pixelated fields of polarising lies
we seldom realise
is poisoning: our very understanding of freedom...\'

When did a meeting of many \'leaders\' ever amount to a true meeting of minds anyway. For each has their agenda. They will not be confronted with anything they do not already know. Their well rehearsed rhetoric will be aired and little change will take place.
Once again it is a political move so that one man can appear to have tried to be a messiah, the saviour of our world talking over the heads of those who do not have the longevity of their peoples interest at heart.
A very thought provoking piece today Andy and of such great importance to all life on our home... this planet Earth.
There now exists a time when being right or righteous is far from any use and appears to fail the future of everything.

you have such a wonderful ear for the music of poetry, so many times I choose to listen to the music you accompany to your write\'s, before I read the words
and often I find there\'s a symbiotic chemistry between your poetic lines and the melody you expertly choose
truly, a wonderful gift/ear you have Andy,
\'God\'s country\' is simply stunning: Fountains Abbey, Ribblehead and those Washborn reservoir\'s in all their scenic glory, surreal in that atmospheric night..
personally, I\'m drawn to shorelines more than mainland - I am just sucker for that coastal hum of waves breathing to n from, in-sync with my pulses beat..
\'Last of the Summer Wine\', for me
\'is the sound of my father laughing - knowingly
while I watched - him, thoughtfully
a treasured memory!\'

The virtue of such an arrangement will be that virtually nothing will be agreed upon and what little is will be virtually ignored in practice, although the pollies involved will make a virtue of their virtual participation.

This is really quite beautiful Andy .. gave me a warm glow, so it did ..

you know what Andy
I learnt a similar lesson the other day
but I heard it from a Welsh: Athro
who I just happened to share a pint with
at some random pub, while toasting
our clear sky\'s of whimsical Spring..
such a light touch you have with your words of warmth, my friend

The kind of lockdown you have suffered over there must have taken a toll - but not so much that you have given up. The warmth and sociability shines through those stanzas, Andy.

Now for goodness sake get a shave!!!
I\'m lucky, got fed up with thinning hair on top and grey pushing the sides out - I shaved the lot off a few years back. Very cold in winter but i\'m all the more good looking for it (vanity rules).

Blimey i remember my brother telling me that story when i was about 14. Thanks for retelling a good fun story here. It brought back a few memories of happier times with my now departed brother Rod.
Life is for the living.
Footnote. I recently bought a native american flute to mess about with. It\'s a very limited instrument and has a lovely haunting tone but only one octave. One day i shall organise my music room (too many other projects on the go at the moment - including being lazy) and make a recording or two to accompany my scribblings on MPS.

sorry Andy - but I can\'t find this funny (nor sadly, can I simply scroll-past and ignore)..
general Custer was a war criminal
who butchered helpless woman and children
going - against
what were originally - inhumane orders
to act-out
his zealotry of blinkered cruelty!
