Gershon, I had fun reversing your lines once I figured they flowed well... I like the way this reads: whispered voices too many choices indecision sprouts nagging doubts paralysis grips anxiety flips brain shuts down nervous breakdown lowered into the ground world still goes ‘round

Thanks for this second look at what I wrote. Hadn't perceived it that way at all. ~ Gershon

I have being hearing about the end of the world is near, since I was a child -- no way, no how -- we best get to work and straighten this mess out so the next generation will have it better. Blessings my friend. You fight the good battle.

What mess? Let the media straighten out its mess; the politicians their mess; the polluters, their mess. I don't have any mess. I'm as straight as a stick... How about you, Joe?
