TWO 575s

Michael Edwards

 

 

Cruelty abounds

Parallels drawn in silence

Victims cowering.

 

Greater wealth achieved

Linked to consumerism

Cultures affected.

    Two meaningful writes Michael.

  • sylviasearcher

    You see that'd why people like me and up on space unicorns.

    I just can't bear the disillusionment.

    They are placed well side by side. Like watching the news where no one spells out the obvious.

    • Michael Edwards

      I am currently shouting at the news daily. I've yet to hear a politician state the obvious - why is it two and and a half years after the vote the politicians still don't get it. It's taken all this time for them to make a difficult decision and it's outcome ten times worse by their sheer incompetence.

      • sylviasearcher

        Excuse me whilst I close my eyes and ears and fly to space.

        The world went mad not me!

        Fine writes Michael. how's that evening? Oops it's miles away yet (hours away). You shouting at the telly? I must have that cuppa coffee and chin-wag with PM and her hubby after church service. They currently go to a church 2 miles from us. Any message from you to pass on to her?

        • Michael Edwards

          Can you ask her if the rumours about her and Jeremy are true?

          Michael,

          Your fine short writes certainly say a lot!

          With all that’s going on in the UK, the USA, Italy, etc., I really need that beautiful bathtub to enjoy a warm bath and forget what’s going on in the world...for at least a little while!

          Love your line drawing...
          simply beautiful!

          ~Laura~

          • Michael Edwards

            Yes that painting (drawing) hangs in our main bathroom - and meanwhile the world's gone mad.

            • Laura🌻

              Totally! 😩

              How about a jumbo, a 747 piece.
              Or even larger piece, a 'drone'.

              • Michael Edwards

                A 747 sounds a great idea - will you go first?

                • Michael Edwards

                  I've got one - I'll post it tomorrow.

                • orchidee

                  Ohh, let's all go in the tub and relax then - erm, separately, or else I will swoon!

                • Neville

                  great title, super sketch and a smart little brace of 575's
