Chaos Theory
Tick
A butterfly
Gently closes
Its wings
And alights
On a previously discarded
Match stick
Somewhere in the Indian Ocean
Tock
A thousand
Children die
Crops fail again
Another drought
And fifty million square acres
Of rain forest are lost to us each year
Tick
Mutant virus
Escapes from lab
Another Policeman stabbed
Tobacco kills but politicians kill even more

Neville
A powerful way to describe time's indifferent effects as it ticks away - a compelling outcry against human blindness to planet-abuse and thank you for wording the need so poetically Nev. - - - a meaningful write..................... Fay
thanks my friend & muchly meant... Neville
A compelling way to describe man's total disrespect for the planet - and a fine write it is.
we can tock about it until we are blue in the face, but we each need to do so much more if there is to be a green future for our children's children I fear..... thank you Michael

This morning we bought some loose potatoes at the supermarket. We didn't put them in a plastic bag provided but transferred then to the basket then to the conveyor belt where the poor assistant had to gather them together to weigh them. Why aren't paper bags provided?
indeed, or bio degradable trugs......
Thanks NEVILLE for your CHAOTIC ODE ! Since the MOON LANDING ~ 50 years ago ~ we have seen the Earth (from Space) as Small Global Village ~ with the G2O leaders as Village Elders and all of us increasingly reponsible for the Future consevation of the quality of Village Life ! A sombre & mind daunting message indeed ! Thanks for caring & sharing !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

The RIPPLE EFFECT.
We know the consequences, yet, we choose to remain, ignorant and illiterate
.
We surrender our responsibilities to others, like politicians, and the defenders become the aggressors - ironic!
CHAOS, once enacted,natives its toll.
Engaging subject, thnx
You got it Suresh, bang on the nose.. I am sure there are many here who feel just as passionate as we do....Oh' and thank you too.
Neville
So true but politicians get away with it!
Dont they just.. thank you for checking in my friend...
How are you N? I'm feeling decidedly queasy, but that's cos I just tuned into 'Lorraine' on telly. Call the men in white coats if I watch it the whole week. I shall be insane with boredom!
Don't torture yourself - don't tune in to it! You'll end up a jibbering wreck, as I might do. lol.
Never watch telly in the mane... but thanks for the tip..
