Apathy Rules Okay
I am now
long enough lived
not to worry
the machine breathes
and my
very own species
has stopped
believing and feeling
or asking
the question why ..
All such
things are now an
almighty irrelevance ..
But I steadfastly
refuse to bow down
and succumb
to such universal
collective incompetence ..

You wouldn't believe that I was just right now thinking the same thing, it's become acceptable everything. Dog killings acid throwing, war I could go on but I've just upset myself thinking on this. Things aren't that great here in italy either. 🌹
Sadly, I am quite sure that its a global phenomenon Teddy .. Unfortunately tho' I fear there shall be no safety in numbers .. 🌹
So do I Neville, we must keep going along the path of our life that those of us who know is within each of us.

when you eventually end up being skinned Mr. O .. I shall see if we can't get you made into a muff ..
I'm a muffin! lol.
These are strange days we're living in, Neville.
They are indeed .. Thanks Tom
If life was once ‘nasty, brutish and short’ - today we can thank modern medicine for prolonging the agony.
But even if I make allowance for a slightly embittered view of the world which comes with old age, I do believe that for some of us, in the western world life forty plus years ago was better, more just and free than right now.
Great write, Neville.
Cor blimey Guv' bless ya little cotton socks, or so me Ma always said 😎👍
You nailed this one out of the park. Powerful.
