Good thoughts penned but if you were not here you could not do anything that might change the situation so it is good you are here to declare the predicament our world has gotten into. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

what a great quote, Harry!! So cleverly expressed. IS it supposed to separate into extra lines? I like its look. I should go check out Dear Heart's description, if it's for her contest.

Or with those who like to 'see' things so dysfunction it hurts my feelings. Good write, good insight and, good man, you have my concurrence! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

- ... to see the world is for those who want to see the injustice of the world with their own eyes, Harry :) - The world around us is not the way we perceive it with the eye ... we only perceive what our desire wants, positive or negative ... - look with the soul and heart :) - A thoughtfully write, my friend :) - Happy weekend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Deep and meaningful, Harry. Sometimes those born without sight can "see" best. This is a fave for me as it reminds me of some wisdom my Mom would impart. (Ironically, just as I went to read this poem, a special calendar fell from my wall!) Hope you are well, my friend! Hugs, Carolyn
