Let's Start at the Beginning

And ask ourselves:

Have we got it wrong?

On a day like today all hot and sticky
Stuck at work not taking the mickey
Running wild beside the pool
Or feeling really cool
With a blonde on the side

Just now a child died
Having nowhere to hide
Her belly full of pain
So who shall gain
From our work in the sun

Bush rules the world
So we all need to hide
For what have we learnt
From years on our knees
Hoping God’s on our side.

You may gather that I cheated. This is a poem written last summer, but we do need to look at our world and wonder, just sometimes.

I'm Trevor, scribbler, who may appear from time to time.

Good one. It shows the compassion I expect from the man in the photo.
