Headlines

Headlines, shred lines, cutting at one and all, vicious, sensationalism, scathing and apocryphal, newspapers empty of intellect and positivity, and with nothing of any use to say to all, headlines, shred lines, cutting at one and all, and with nothing positive to say, no nothing at all, but people still buy this trash, and still […]

Have we done enough

Have we done enough, have we done enough for we expostulate, and explain our ways with such regimented ways, and because of which, we have such narrow bands within which to operate, because we do not take the time to understand, and to listen and we have far too little patience, far too little patience […]
