Yes, the monkeys are in charge of the zoo. Well a few months back the British public were given a chance to vote for sanity and common human decency but they decided to go with incompetence, lies and corruption.

Hi Simon! Liked this one, better late than never! Loved the refrain.
Also' there's only one spirit to listen to, that's the beating of my heart.'
Deep sentiments expressed with an apparent lightness, but underneath that's not the message.

Traumas don't die out, do they?

Punch their lights out. But don't let it consume you. Go out and just sit on the grass somewhere and watch the flowers, the trees and feel the grass.

Let it go. You've forgiven yourself.

thanks for the 'likes' and the kind comments
I think you're all right about bringing back memories - for me it was part of the furniture that reminds me of home - funnily enough not really about music - more a piece of furniture
I appreciate you all taking the time to comments

We had an upright piano for a while so that my kids could learn to play. But they soon got distracted by other things and so it just became a dumping ground for all our stuff.
Great poem Ian which I think will evoke numerous memories for any number of folk
Hope you are keeping safe

Original item by Jennifer Malden

This is a lengthy poem....but one that keeps you glued till the end.

Aslam why don't you write novels and scripts. If it was a real conversation then your memory is too sharp. And if not, then your imagination is way too good. I think it could be half and half of both. And that's what make you a writer poet.

No matter what the end is....this is a thriller romance poem.?

Thanks Leon, Poem, Stephen and Abdul for the likes, and Leon and Poem for the comments. Agree about horses being some of the most beautiful animals, and one can be very fond of ones which are not equine beauty queens or Mr. Universes! I spent hours working the bellows for the smith, as it is always fascinating to watch someone who is very good at his job.
Thanks again, Jennifer

A powerful write, studded with brazen truth and reality. Most of us are oblivious, many are ignorant and many negligent but, reality cant be changed.

Change is inevitable so is death. We can choose former, for later will anyways approach us.

It's time to change our mindset, ourselves, our family, our locality......think local, it goes global.

Bravo!
