Haha, this is fantastic Gershon; I'm glad I could inspire another poet.

You certainly did inspire me, my friend. I thought of this idea as soon as I read your poem. Thank you again so much. Warmest wishes, Gershon

It seems society has lost civility towards other. So true Gershon

So true, Timothy, and so sad. Are we right to call what we now have 'civilization' when we are too often no better than beasts?! Time will tell... Smiles, Gershon
