Money is representative of wealth in other forms that can be called
on as collateral. The richly endowed nations know this and spend
accordingly, always a guarantee of political popularity wherever
it happens - and so the process proceeds while supply and demand
fluctuate according to "need" and "fashion".

Tom - thanks for commenting. It seemed appropriate to promote
some positivity towards "the great adventure" that we all face, some
even more immediately at this time. I woke the other morning with
the first line in my mind. The rest soon followed. - with the challenge
I set myself to create verses that used lines that sequentially rhymed.

Hi Michael

Just noticed this. Thanks for your positive comments. Helpful as I'm considering if I should include this in a new pamphlet I'm finalising. I probably will now.

Hi Greg

My mother sent me to a school in another area due to delusions of poshness. Result was kids from both neighbourhoods considered me an outsider.

A tragedy ,but a warning as well re the danger of walking through a field full of cows with a dog .Experienced this myself as a child walking through a field full of cows with a dog .Scary ! If you were chased let your dog off the lead.

Thanks Paul. Very kind.
BM - the flesh may be "food for worms", but how to explain that force
within that powers it to the end? Where does that go? Regeneration
seems a logical explanation when there is so much we lack the
faculties to be aware of. Man-made religion just represents human attempts to address this "great unknown".
Thanks to those who took the trouble to "like" these lines.
