Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂
Big does not necessarily mean great;
Not listened to by many a Nation State.
Size means wealth means power;
Well meaning people can only cower.
‘
What is left for a citizen to do?
No, not someone else; this means me and you.
This requires a new culture from the ground up.
Otherwise we are again sold a pup.
.
Democracy at a local level
Becomes our only means of survival.
But for many folk there is much to learn -
To free debate without ego all must turn…….

‘At a local level’ now that’s where it counts! After math, science….
Math, science? This is about local interpersonal relations, local movements, local ways to organize.
Thanks for jumping in so early, Rik - even if I don't get the connection.
So many can not put down the ego and close their mind. A good write Dave
Thanks muchly, Soren.
Great write
Any lines not so great?
Thanks for the call.
You're welcome
That was good as any.
Good luck with those egos!
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
Since I was driven half to distraction by the commentary and results, I think Any would have made a better hash of it!
Just shows your loved,,,by some.
Shaky ground......
"Writ as the results came in - I never was/am a poet: I shove ideas/argument into jangly verse." That makes you a poet in my book! Thank you for this! Well written my friend and, yeah, ego checks are most definitely needed! Again, well done! 👏🌹
Thanks for that - at times like these a little encouragement goes a long way!
Indeed! You are welcome!
I concede but don't submit .. in the interim, I shall just go and dubble check all the seals to me bunker .. 👍
Who knows - the future (the bit that comes just before now and marginally before History) can, I hope, surprise you....... Noone could call me an optimist, but I've decided it's all I've got........
We certainly nees a new culture Dave but I don't think we will see it in our lifetimes.
Andy
It would have to be really swift......😂
Remember though; democracy rhymes with hypocrisy. Well written and expressive.
Thanks for your positive judgement, Dan.
