Tom, I admit that it was hard to hold back the tears, The Cherokee in me wants to go back to those years. (or forward) It is hard to believe that the Earth can sustain what man is doing to it. Would there be any way to have the best of both worlds?? Just a dream I guess... thank-you J.D.

Dear John,
please allow me to copy your poem and let millions hear your words for you spoke nothing but truth and it needs to be heard.
allow your fellow poets to make a video projecting all tyranny the palestinians are suffering at the hands of few evil minded people of a certain country which isn't bigger than a state.
The Palestinians and humanity at large needs whatever support and help it can be given.
Your poem is nothing but the truth. Thank you?

I am stranded on an Island
without a pen.
I guess I will have to write
with rocks.

So sorry for your loss MC. As you say, no-one lives forever, and I hope he had a healthy and fulfilled life whilst he was here.

John,
The abused has become the abuser to the extent of even employing the same tactics of annihilation. The state of Israel has no moral legitimacy when it acts like a fascist, racist state.
Thank you for this

A wonderful onomatopoeia, MC. A Yorkshire dialect word which, I suspect, owes its derivation to a brad awl. In slang it’s also a male brothel.
And thanks for the Like, Ghazala.

I remain fascinated by the word "broddles". Did Bill Bryson ever
find that one while foot-slogging around his "Small Island"?

Thank you for commenting Nazia and Ghazala ?
This poem was like a confirmation and affirmation to myself of my intentions, but of course I never really have forgotten this friend, neither the friendship we had beforehand, nor the manner of ending. It isn't something I think about often, but it's not something I can forget either.
Top Tip: If you're going to try and forget someone don't write a powerful poem or a catchy song about them. (wait and see)

On this subject - pray see(?)
This thought comes to me:
I prefer to make sense
To being seen to be dense.
