           Need

Acknowledging nothing
I learn to live
I pay the tributes
Bear the scars
To bear somebody home
Acknowledging stupity
Acknowledging isolation
Acknowledging arrogance
I ask that as you go home
You forget the image of fatherhood
Fathers know when to let go
Politicians dont
No-one is ever needed
Because we fear to allow the battle to destroy more people
In a land of plenty
Who cares when you can cheaply buy anything
And what value does your purchase have
In a land where no-one needs
There is no need to provide the means
In a land where we would die
Do we ask not to
In a land where need is paramount
Who thought it was not within ourselves

wow Dave

sometimes I have a hard time of trying to understand your writing, I study line by line then.

And then I smile.

I didn't really write it about earth though.   It was tied up with thinking about writing on a parallel world that 4 guys had strayed into and that their sins and blemishes here were virtues there.   Jackle and thick Hyde.

Thanks.   I have the same problem after I have written.

Thanks Alli

The amazing thing for me is writing something and then looking at today and thinking, it is starting to happen.
