Trip Advisory

I chanced to look upon the world, through current Channels..And much unfurled; I noted the various Decades passed, wars on terror legalising grass..' Wars on waste, the slogans did run, my mind reeled Them off one by one.' I remember third world birthed A helofull phrase, Beirut and Gaza Belfast the Maze Bangladesh the tamils Uganda pol pot, reigns of hunger And terror there has been a lot.' I remember the west It seemed a planet away..From such raw anarchy and And deprivation.' Yet is my mind astray.? No now I see that Here there is also unrest, how did this occur my thought Requests.? In the 60s take Bolton U K; many poor there Yet not this dissaray.' Chicago Sydney Montreal Berlin Paris Auckland just a random dip in.' Life for the many Not what I'd call plush..Yet there was more structure Amid the rush.' Amongst the mire the crush of the world There was more christianity, and not just in word' even Publicans suppported the church' people when asked At random had (mostly) no lurch? Or other path i know Of that.!maybe it was contrived.? Or just off pat.? Yet I return to today, and our current trials.. Homelesness Rampant violence idol worship trans-reality begging by Media, and initiatives for every situation.! Answers abound And yet I see.' Broken people, and citys; and towns. The Former places still seem the same, only the west i think Has changed.? Despite many billions gathered and spent The wars and poverty do not relent, I question such I Apprehend there is corruption much.' Great power is no Human friend, as such.!

Totally agree Joe. It seems the more things change, the more they remain the same, to paraphrase Jimmy Buffet.
