Contemplation

I contemplate endings and beginnings, as the globe turns much more times than my 
Better chances have  burned,  I feel eternity's intent to smaller or larger affairs is
Almost democratic In it's indifference, also i pick up inferrance of certain change
Yet life & death are quite unmoved, still intransigent binary bedfellows trencher men
Swallowing our life's days nights efforts, in what cause? The cause of freedom? the
Cause of consumerism? One thing I feel it cannot be for love' or honour; or equality
So if its none of the above what can we gain? What do we count as gain? Division?
Derision? Knife crime tension fear, we have the one parent familys the children in
Pre school  all day,  women at risk at when alone; prolific drug use, the hostility to
Creation and God' The stifling of free speech? We have all these as part of our reality
Yet more is required it seems' ore will redress the balance? Or should that be
Imbalance.?

Hi, Joe. Took me several ready (some sroppog due to spellings) but ultimately his penning gets our raves (I got Jim involved, too). Much expressed, so much of it very important, tho with a stream’ flow, as usual helped along with your internal rhymes and alliteration. More of your voice I wish the general public see!

As harry says, we are reaping what was sown. Too bad many innocent lives will be lost in the reaping. Dang, I see your reset contest closed. I had hoped to write for it, but nothing was coming to me!!!
