Ray you are correct. I stand corrected. Correction is the side-street to drunken doorways.

...though to reach a wide audience it is often necessary to keep the language and the message relatively straightforward. Complex pieces can leave many behind and end up appealing only to a tiny elite. This doesn't mean that pieces have to be dumbed down...that is entirely different.

Comment is about A Solution (blog)

Original item by keith jeffries

Po - know where you're coming from. But I was throwing out some
magazines after posting this - some dating back to the early 1990s
(hoarder - moi?!) - and a number contained items that remind us how
the Tories became so disdainful of the electorate's misgivings over
the EU (I do NOT consider the EU to be "Europe"), with reminders
that John Major was vilified for betraying the electorate by signing
the Maastricht Treaty without a proper mandate, whilst a certain
"Father of the House" - Ken Clarke - was telling students in Cambridge of his ambition to see us signed up to the Euro.
Years ago, I wrote to the latter expressing my own misgivings about what was being done, quoting lines from G.K. Chesterson's poem "The Secret People". The response was a card merely acknowledging my letter. Now, the poet's words are taking form. His
"Unhappy Lords" see their power wane
now that the people understand what has
been done in their name and reject it..
Here's an amusing but rather alarming example of what we were facing:.
The Lord's Prayer has 58 words
The Ten Commandments have 297 words.
The US Declaration of Independence has 310 words.
But the EC directive on the exporting of duck eggs has 28,911 words!

If we didn't even bother to turn out surely it would mean we didn't care a damn? turning out will never help the pain and sorrow of those injured, or that of families who have lost members, but it at least shows that we remember and are grateful for what they did. Or not?

Greetings Graham.
Thank you for your comment for the piece, "Hands of Ankh".
There is no translation, as the poem was inspired through a dream, in a language I do not know. Sorry.
Since that time, there is someone I know who believes it it Swahili!?
Wow, and translated a few lines, but didn't have time to translate it entirely.
Thank you for your support.
Love & Light.
OL. Eli

Much appreciated.
Love & Light.

This is an amazing brainmatic thriller
The trail so curvy and twisty

The last straight captured my heart.

Comment is about Heartsoubody!! (blog)

A nice metaphorical use of techspeak to convey breakdown in communications/relationships.
Strong ironic hint that over-reliance on such substitutions for real communication have actually led to this situation anyway. It's the universal neurosis of our times: can't do with, can't do without ...
