Notes About The Poem

 

Sad to see there are those still living in the stone age, clucking away, believing delusions and screaming they are always right.

Dignity

Every man, woman and child passing through this world of ours deserves peace and compassion love and affection a full belly before bed each night a roof under which to sleep healthcare for anyone who ails at all water and wine feasts at holiday times every one and all deserves dignity Now anyone who thinks all of this is for the privileged few be they king or queen or tyrant too rest assured they possess no dignity at all

When the deepest rungs of the ladder get punctured into the mud so the higher may get a taste of the sun, those on the bottom glimpse little light. How is that fair and right. Your words remind me we need to work together to shine the light on everyone. hugs x

You touched the very essence of the honour and wealth to be a Human Arthur.. Being denied dignity is a pain.. denying dignity is a shame and stain! Enjoyed reading your thoughts into beautiful work of art. Deepest regards. Be blessed.
