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

There is a cloak of darkness, but you have fought this as I have in other life times, surround yourself with golden light to protect your aura as others will be feeding off your energy and you'll get energy vampires attracted to you , cleanse your space and retreat when you need to. Say no sometimes. You've done this before, many times. Good luck and keep safe.

Yes, John, I suppose all roads CAN lead to nowhere for in the country of the blind the one-eyed man IS king! Brian, I agree with Housman who said: 'I could no more define poetry than a terrier can define a rat.'

This very well written piece describes perfectly how quite a lot of people must be feeling and are likely to go on feeling for a long time.
But hey! we have no choice other than to sadly muddle through.

I do take issue with you when you say that no-one should stay on the road to nowhere. Just ask Paddy and Max.

I think you’re on to something there, MC. Perhaps if we could cream off all those fractions of a penny from 65,000,000 people we could make bob or two.

You relive the experience for us on screen.
Well done you.

thank-you for the like on "The Mirror", Such great poets as yourself, reading my work, is so rewarding. It is a dream of mine to have SOMETHING published sometime, like yourself. I see you have been with WOL since the beginning of time, I am here just a few days, I am in my prime. If you like what I post in the future, please drop me a dime.

To add to the fascination - if you divide the fiver in pence (500) by
three you get 166.6 <continuing>. But if you then multiply that by
three you get less than a fiver e.g. 499.9 continuing. And to think I
used to believe it was a exact science!

The ageing process takes no prisoners. Our minds, desires and ambitions grow afresh as our external frame decays. I have turned my mirror to face the wall.

Thanks Victoria, I think life's a bit like climbing a mountain, a lot easier when we're given a hand up and far more rewarding when we can return the favour. And thank you Paul for the, "Big hand," I'm really pleased you liked, very handy. ?❤

Thanks to Paul, Shifa and J.D.,
Travel is a two-edged sword in my mind..
I tried to keep to light verse on this one, since loneliness seems so much a part of many people's lives these days - especially at the moment of course.
These notions date back almost a decade now: I was always fortified in the knowledge that I had a ticket home to Australia (and a long flight to get here!).

Fascinating, heartbreaking, hopeful. I have never understood violence, especially to peaceful people. Looks like it’s been going on since the beginning of time and will continue until the human race truly evolves, may take a few more millennia. Thank you for sharing your educational and enlightening poetry! ?❤️
