I Think

I think of lot's of different things today

I think about loving and caring and sharing

I think about giving and hoping and living and dying

I think about our children's future and all their tomorrows

I think about our once proud nation - and what it has become

I think about disease and starvation of other poorer nations

I think about the sadness and devastation this must bring to others

I think about the type of people who now live in our Country today

I think about the constant struggle and strife - of life

I think about stabbings and shootings and riots and deaths in our inner Cities

I think about acts of pre-meditated terrorism and current Middle East conflicts

I think about why we always seem  to have Wars

I think about the end of The World-

 

- This helps...

-to keep my mind off thinking about other things!

If we don't care or want to make positive change..don't share.. don't give and don't live and we don't want a better quality of life.. or don't care about our life...don't think about 'things'..we don't plan..and if we don't have a plan or protect what we have...and if we don't think..we will then fail...

Well that's what I think!

Happy days eh?

I think, therefore I am.... don't stop thinking Graham.

'I think about our children's future and all their tomorrows'

I like your poem. That line stands out for me. I think about it a lot. Houses are now inaffordable, education inaffordable, decent jobs scarce. I imagine many people sticking to one child per family in the future - and the knock on effects of that.

Your poem made me think :)x

Bloody hell Graham! To think of so much at once could cause some form of nasty implosion..I could hear you reading this by the way :)

Maybe Kipling got it right...
"If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim".
My brain hurts! And I was always told by a good friend "Avoid stress!" But then I remember that old Bob Luman pop hit from way
back "Let's Think About Living" with its upbeat
message - and it gets me back on an even keel.

You've brilliantly summed up the many reasons for stress and anxiety. I'm stressed to hell now Graham.Enjoyed your piece, and the clever last line.
