As time’s gone on
Alone I’ve turned
A way from you

Now, more and more,
I listen to
The other views

Those who said
They couldn’t understand
What I was doing with you
Who urged that I could do better
If I tried

And somewhere
I’ve lost the faith I had
That it really mattered

The sun,
Somehow sadly,
Disappears from the Western sky

The sun also rises in the east sky in the morming.

West and East just do not seem to want to meet.

Try and explain to a Westerner that not building up muscles means power moves faster through the arm, and with speed comes force and you wont make superstars.

Yet watch a Tornedo drive a straw inches deep into a warehouse wall.

Try and tell them the body is completely connected and not a situation of unconnected bits and the medical profession who specialise on the "Taylor Production Format" will attack you as no tomorrow.

You have more chance of tilting at the sun as a bemused Spanish Don singing on a London stage than of receiving a hearing from in-beded western ideas.

I read your words and I can understand your frustrations, but without people experiencing the Far East and my wife has never travelled more than a 100 miles in 25 years, and has only be dragged by me to Egypt and the Canaries, I can understand.

Excellent words as usual.

regards

Dave
