FRIDAY WRITINGS # 119 .....FOWC with FANDANGO

 

i used to have a job

i had to work with people

don’t know how i managed

twas like jumping from a steeple

finally i retired

a miracle i survived

now i sit on a cushion

and sew a fine seam

and feed upon strawberries

sugar and cream

( yeah sure....in my dreams

my retirement now

makes the job look easy )

 

 nursery rhymes

are not good preparation

for the workplace

 

as a young child

this one

made a lasting impression 

on me  

i even remember

where i read it

when i read it

thinking at the time

it was a very good idea

 

Curly locks

Curly locks 

Wilt thou be mine

Thou shalt not wash dishes

nor yet feed the swine

 WHAT"S Going On...CHILDREN

CINQUAIN

 goodness

what's going on

how can a child do this

playing the piano like a pro

bliimey

 

Whats Going On ! CHILDREN

 

 

 

Margot and Anne Frank

 

i wonder

what these girls would say

in response

to the child sacrifice in Gaza

sadly we will never know

they were tortured and murdered

in the holocaust

along with 6 million other jews

so you see

we keep on doing this

and  PLEASE

no holier than thou stance

WE all carry the guilt

 

how many jews were turned back

on the boats by our nations

and sent to their deaths ?

we did not want them 

no one wanted them

SO WHAT... now we have developed a social conscience?

learnt that no one wins in a war ?

we have changed?

Wouldn't that be wonderful !

is it somehow politically expedient

that we have decided that is not OK

to sacrifice children or commit genocide?

OR is that a fate only suited to certain races?

say 1 million tutsis in rwanda

you say it could not happen again

don't bet on it

PRAY FOR PEACE

AND REMEMBER

ALL MEN ARE EQUAL

IN THE EYES OF THE LORD

WE ARE All GOD'S CHILDREN

Let us return child sacrifice to the darkest corner of history, and
work towards a brighter future with those who choose life, Arabs
and Jews alike, all of us Abraham’s children.

What's Going On : FRIDAY WRITINGS # 117

 One Good Reason for keeping a marker pen in your handbag

OR

One Good reason for never keeping a marker pen in your handbag

 

 

 

way back
in  hippy times
a young girl
tipsy
from too much champagne
rides home with a gypsy king
he asks for her number
she produces a black marker pen
from her handbag'
he gently lifts her soft full skirt
 writes on her leg
the walls of jericho came tumblin' down
