Why

Why is it that much of the time. Maybe most of the time. Those with the most to say of importance are listened to the very least. Why?

I really like your quick reads that are subtle yet deep. I like to question everything and do so by reading poetry. You offer readings that help me do that very effectively. The irony in this is really neat, you don’t have the “most to say” in number of words but the words you use say more than lengthy reads. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading!

Daniel: Some of us start to listen. But if it starts to conflict slightly with our opinion we turn it off. Or it starts to make sense and seems to disprove something we hold "precious" we turn it off. The media has conditioned us to watch certain "channels" if we expect to hear "the truth". :o) Thanks for bringing this truth to the forefront. oldbuck

You make a good point here. Those with important things to say are often ignored by the media and the population in general. Peace and blessings Matthew Anish
