Life has so many questions, so many theories, so few answers. So much of life is mystery, but as we age, little by little, we can get glimmers of insight as to why we are the way we are. Hang in there poet Nadia. Keep writing! Out of the ruins beautiful things can grow.

Thanks for the comments Stephen and Uilleam. A government committed to dealing with such grim situations and not demonising would be good.
And thanks to everyone for the likes as well.

There are "fruits" to be obtained from the spirit of competition.
I recall that the railways used to compete in earlier times and
there was visible evidence of that in the services provided,
not least the "named" express trains and the likes of the Orient
Express that linked with far-off places. I certainly support the
public ownership of essential utilities such as power and water,not least for hands-on supervision close to home, and
security in case of sudden untoward conflict involving control of these services by foreign concerns with their own
interests and obligations. The NHS is currently a bottomless pit swallowing our tax money and some sensible adjustment
and accommodation with private financial input could be
beneficial to patient and profit - and serve to reduce the
chances of delayed and missed treatments and operations
when events influence the administration of those very vital
services....witnessed so much in the past few years.

I support public ownership of utilities, Uilleam. The so-called benefits of privatization have never materialised and have led to duplication and waste. This has a nice rhythm to it, but I hope you can Corbyn out of the picture!
Comment is about Manifesto of Hope (with quote, not paraphrase) (blog)
I fear that you may be right, Graham, and it is a frightening prospect. And frankly, idle chatter from the political smug and safe in the US and Europe will not help.
Thank you for your kind comment on the poem.
And thank you to Frederick, Peter and Steve for the likes.

This poem has helped me a lot, Helene.
"The joy that welled up upon this discovery was a golden state of mind,
I relaxed into its light,
stretched like a cat,
and smiled."
Beautiful lines.
You are a Gem!
Thank you for this.

Hurt and heartache
Can be heard
Screaming louder than before
Silent calm must enter
Ceasing this unforgivable pain.❤

I've just clicked 'like' which actually felt quite wrong Stephen.
I can't help but think there will be a cataclysmic event sooner or later in this horrendous debacle.
I see the lunatic Putin is bragging about a new nuclear missile he has just announced, not ruling out a test which is illegal within the recognised countries.
This piece is brilliant for the fact that it hardly mentions what is going on in Ukraine but WE ALL KNOW!
well done again

Speaking as a Southerner looking to the North,
I don 't blame them being angry and loudly holding forth;
The money was better spent there, truly "money's worth"
Improving links far from the capital, providing their ha'porth!

The north desperately needs an efficient easy to use cross-pennine link IF we are genuine in our efforts to get people out of their cars.

"...the shed tear of a storm’s cry"
an apt image depicting danger and sadness.
I've just been watching "Saving Lives at Sea"-which brings home only too clearly the dangers those poor folk are in.
The UK needs to restore to them safe and legal routes-but unfortunately we need scapegoats.

Thankyou Greg and Stephen. I didn’t realise there was a Curzon St Station in Birmingham, Greg. I shall rectify this in performance. Shows how long I’ve been out of train spotting.
I must confess I have ambivalent views about HS2. Whilst I enjoy the Government embarrassment over its cancellation, I always thought it a waste of money for a second-world country. What is irritating about this though, is that I find myself agreeing with Jacob Rees-Mogg.
And thanks for the Likes Nigel and Red Brick.

I like the way you structure your anger and disdain into a rhythmic poem, Uilleam. Your audio reading is excellent. The effluent of the affluent - a good theme.
