I have absolutely no argument with you on this one GF60 in fact I would unequivocally agree with the fundamental principles of respect, honour and courage.. unfortunately, respect, honour and courage each seem to have taken a distinctly dark and twisted shif in relatively recent years which I find a little disturbing.. having got that off me chest, I respect and admire the way you have incorporated your most recent poem around good old fashioned ideals and standards... good on ya squire...

So very true. This something I have taken on board and i am affronted by those who will not or cannot be respectful of others. No longer enjoying such company - found all too often these days - i avoid the tables.

Nice writing, making a valid observation on society.

Fully agree about JDP and your comments about respect. Sadly my respect for the professionalism of our politicians has evaporated but I am not likely to be sharing a table with any of them anyway.

Then again, we (or I) find myself saying \'Sorry\' when sometimes it\'s the other persons\' fault. Doh! No use me being a doormat.

A fine write Gold. And yes, I ordered humble pie at a restaurant table. They said \'Sorry, what are the ingredients to make it?!\' I said\' I can\'t remember; I last had it in 1066\'.

Ah - a lovely personification to set up my day dear Goldy - - what could be better to see than an early crocus of daffy and who would not want to be that beautiful unfolding Spring flower.

Yes, but could you stand being interfered with by a bee?

And there i was, Mr Goldfinch, thinking you were a bird (feathered type). A product of an egg not a bulb, or did you go to seed?

Your words could be interpreted to describe coming out of a depression.

This is a fine peice of food for thought. If only we could all embrace the better side to ourselves and not give in to those inner demons :) x

Keep writing Fine B!

Thanks UNCLE ANDY : Love the Video : FMs Death was a great loss to Show Biz but his Spirit lives on & on & on & on ad infinitum !
Love the POEM : for us the only antidote to EVIL is a fresh infilling of Gods Holy Spirit each morning ! The Fruit of the Spirit (Love Joy Peace etc) exactly counteract the Works of the Flesh and greater is HE (The Holy Spirit) that is within US than HE (Satan) that is in the WORLD ~
Blessings & Love to You BOTH :

Are some actually born evil or is it society and circumstances that make them that way? Fine write Andy.

Fine wise words. But there are some who are content to be evil. Self not included.

What an uplifting piece for Monday morning. My heart very much believes in this, but I am called a fool for it.

Evil and evil deeds are something I always feel compelled to understand. Is evil born or made? Can it be undone? Is it permanent?

For now I’ll try not to think and instead believe in love.

Last line of first verse, should be \'so much harm\'? Yet sounds poetic, with \'O much harm\'.

orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. Yes, I suppose it\'s easy to do wrong (or not do right), and to sin (and \'errors of omission or commission\'). Easier sometimes than doing the good, that we should strive for.

MendedFences27 said:

The older, the longer the \"UP\" becomes. Confusing choice of name, \"The Valley\" if you must go \"Up,\" Maybe they should have called it \"The Downs.\" Could someone please install an escalator. They should give free coffee just for getting there. Enuf said, enjoyed the poem. Stay well. - Phil A.

English language has become Englitch hasn\'t it. And a garden centre has become, well you tell me, have you visited Webbs of Wychbold recently? It might be worth a day out but be warned, it\'s more like a shopping mall than the friendly greenhouses it once was.

GOOD MORNING UNCLE ANDY (Its 10:30pm here !) Love TCHAIKOVSKY alwys wakes me up ! I love your reposts with ORCHII : I always start humming \"Mad Dogs & Englishmen ....... !\" English humour always falls flat on Americans & the Spanish ! My PAPA never gets my revolving door joke about getting \"Too many Basques in one Exit\" You poem about the ENGLISH use of UP & DOWN can be Social as well as situational. You speak of \"Going DOWN to the Pub\" which may be UP a Hill so you can roll home ! But always going UP to Church which may be DOWN in the Valley. Perhaps conditioned by the hypothetical geographical positions of HEAVEN & HELL. It is interesting in NZ they still speak of going UP to Heaven even though they would be going in the opposite direction of the UK and simlarly DOWN to Hell ! In ESSEX they always go UP T\' TOWN irrespective of the gradient : also its always Im commin\' DOWN (or ROUND) t\' YOURS tomorow !
Blessings & Love to you BOTH :

A fine write Gold. They went UP to the Jerusalem Temple. I know a cathedral where in one approach we have to go DOWN a steep hill to get to it, as a river is nearby.
