Well said Hugh. I was amazed this week by the news of children needing chaperones to and from school. The way it seems to be accepted as a “normal” way of life for some terrifies me!

The way to knock this down of course is
Accepting what the knife-crime source is;
Birds of a feather perform together
But political action depends on whether
They seek to please a vocal sonority
Or protect the outraged ignored majority.
.(P.S. To adapt an old saying: If you want to know the crime, ask a policeman!)

' Catch my fall ' brilliant song and a brilliant poem as well.

Rich in emotion and strikingly beautiful. Written from a heart to a heart both entwined and needful of the other. Such a poem takes the reader into a different realm, into an emotionally charged relationship where any one of us could find ourselves.
Stephen you have excelled yourself with this poem
Thank you
Keith

Two fatal teen stabbings in London this week within half an hour of each other ,both incidents unconnected.
No family should have to go through losing a teen in this way,
Two fatal teen stabbings within half an hour in one day.
Police were called to one incident before an ambulance arrived,
Sadly the wound was so severe ,the victim has not survived.
Half an hour later destined the end of another teen,
A sixteen year old suffering a serious stab died at the scene.

Ευχαριστώ πολύ Jimakos. Δεν είμαι Έλληνας ούτε Χριστιανός, αλλά η γενοκτονία των Χριστιανών της Ανατολίας με εξοργίζει τόσο πολύ. Ειδικά καθώς η Δύση δεν έκανε τίποτα για να αντιταχθεί στους δολοφόνους Τούρκους ή για να βοηθήσει τους χριστιανούς να αποφύγουν τη σφαγή.

Thanks to John and Telboy. I'm glad you found it stimulating, however stimulated you already were! In the end, I suppose one can look at this poem in many ways and it is fascinating to learn how others see it.

“The Adventures of Muff Woman” on Netflix, MC? I’d get that to watch with the kids.

An unusual topic,. to be sure. It begs the obvious question: what
happened to DIY? 😏 And shouldn't you be approaching Marvel Comics about the
thoroughly modern sounding "Muff Woman" as a super-heroine?

Hahaha! Brilliant. Gotta love the grandkids eh?
Think yourself lucky Greg. We have one who lives 100metres away and never takes home what she brings to play.
Over the course of this Christmas/NY I have been operated on three times/adopted two toy dogs from a make believe re-homing company/wrote the screenplay for a video that never got made etc!
Would we swap it?..................Never!!

It's sad when much-loved visitors leave after a long visit.
But at least they have left you some momentos to remember them by.

Knife crime is at an all time high. It's time that parents started taking responsibility for the actions of their children.
This poem makes some good points.

"High" or low, ant it funny how the feelin' goes away.... now is the time to return to our senses. You see now, you wear the crown, you command your inner kingdom. Hold your truth of inner self and be diligent to hold your thrown.
You will have to forgive me, there is no time to say hello. Goodbye. I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.
Profound poem!
good job!
