JD.,
they say that within every poet there beats the heart of a philosopher and this poem is an example of such. As a generation we are already guilty of failing the next generations but is there anything we can do to make amends or is it too late? Perhaps all they can do is to learn from our mistakes.
A good and thoughtful poem
Thank you for this
Keith

Hmm, should they listen to those that flounder, making bad choices, rely on the founders, to show them the way, when we haven't found ours, advice from the heart, but the taste of it sours. I enjoyed your poem and it perfectly captures the current mood for many

That poem "Death Sentence"
upset a lot of people who thought it
was too dark and sad
But Truth is sometimes sad & depressing.

I have two pendulums. A small crystal on a silver chain which has been with me since around 1990. Then a larger reclaimed wood pendulum; this is the one I use when teaching, as you can't really miss it! lol
I ran a crystal and dowsing pendulum wholesale business for about fifteen years, until others interests distracted me away to new horizons. Have you read Alfred Watkins books?

Original item by Vautaw
MC - I believe there is some hypocrisy in all of us in that we castigate the breaches of others but make up valid reasons for our own. I am guilty of this and I find it hard to believe if anyone says they aren't. Having said that, I remain convinced that my occasional breaches are far less likely to spread the virus as some of the Bacchanalian parties I have seen on the news.
You are quite right, Paul, in that I and others like me are rather privileged compared to those thrown into current and future financial hardship, which I accept will disproportionately affect the younger generation. Combined with their future stumping up of its cost this is a double whammy. Of course the downside of my privilege is that I am more likely to die.
And when they find my bones as they excavate for the car park it will cause an almighty row over their new resting place between Yorkshire (where I live) and Nottinghamshire (where I was born) which will make the Richard III kerfuffle seem like a playground spat.

“Surround yourself with golden light.” Thank you Nicola. I agree, it is a time for empaths to guard our energy. I’m not quite sure why we keep signing up for this gig, but in the end I’m sure we will be glad we did. So nice to see you again in this realm. XO

Comment is about Chemical Expression of Love (blog)

Much to ponder - in terms of both health and wealth. I think you have
a point about the "young" - and their resentment (understandable to
a degree) at being targeted - as if responsibility was a stranger to
their idea of existence. They may not be sufferers but they seem
willing to ignore their role in "passing the parcel" to the vulnerable
who might well be so - to a terminal extent.
As for wealth and debt, it seems very likely that the future will see
the young of today having to cough up in another unwelcome way.
But, like the debt owed to the Yanks, it will be borne and tales no
doubt told of the hardship that caused it.

Really enjoyed this V. 'Weakness is not my legacy' great line. Have you heard '8 Good Reasons' by Sinead O' Connor? Its lyrics would also sit nicely along side your poem.

JD.,
Another poem well rhymed, tinged with humour and the comforting thought that you beat the harvest and are prepared for the winter. Water is essential but in my case an absence of Guinness would ring the alarm bells.
Thank you for this
