The world could use more people like Nicholas Winton
Living to the age of one-hundred-six is amazing, but what he did to save hundreds of children from certain death will leave you stunned
A kind compassionate man from England and a stockbroker by trade
As Hitler and his war machine just before the start of world war two were about to start their raids
In Prague a large group of families had gathered in a large campo Winton with the aid of refugee workers was able to get six hundred children to foster families in Great Britain, truly a champ
Not only did he get them out but raised the money to make it happen
To accomplish such a feat a holiday should be named after him to salute what he had done
We should raise our glasses to the people that go out of their way to perform good deeds
We are only as good as our weakest link, let us all reach out to the people in need
I am sure that hundreds of relatives of the children Nicholas saved will do their part to make our world better
Let, 's all make the effort, we can all do it together
Post impressionist Paul Gaugin
as a stockbroker he did begin
Off to the South Seas to start anew
back to a simple living in view
I’ve moved thirty-seven times, been employed in four hundred jobs.
People love to hire me; I am enthusiastic, fun-loving, and high-energy.
I do well on job interviews. I am also tenacious and persistent.
They think it’s hilarious that I stalk them; I cannot let my interviews go.
Been a truck driver, waitress, word processor, disc jockey, stockbroker,
teacher, cashier, writer, poet, cartoonist, painter, and I liked them all
Fifteen hundred social media friends, and I probably know half of them.
I like shiny glitzy, fun-loving people. I am a Gemini.
What a stockbroker did to a man was humiliating and demeaning.
He constantly laughed at a man because his job involved cleaning.
The stockbroker thought he was better than this man because he was a janitor.
One day he had taken enough of his crap and he knocked the stockbroker to the floor.
Sadly, the janitor was fired for being unruly.
A man lost his job for standing up to a bully.
4 adults in a room
discussing something or other
they’ve just met or they’ve known each other for years
either way they have nothing to talk about
one is a lawyer
one is a doctor
one is an analyst
one is a stockbroker
babbling away about the food
talking about their kids as if they were the ingredients on the side of a
cereal box
the need to keep money in order to
“stay afloat”
masks the fact that they were born into it &
the accumulation of things
keeps them together
because the hassle of divorce
just doesn’t seem very plausible
given their schedules---
none of them have slept with any of them for years &
they’d be hard pressed to remember each other’s birthday
much less their favorite colors,
but they are stable
all of them---
from the outside they appear like good little worker ants
pulling pieces of foodstuff from parts distant &
bringing them daily through the tunnels to the queen
voting in every local & national election
going to church on sundays
playing golf on weekends
and using the word “summer”
as a verb,
in this conversation
which none of them will be able to recollect a single word of
the minute that it stops.
of birds and wings shall i take off in flight
and kiss the sky before i meet the end
i must admit this is a haunting height
that cause my knees to tremble and to bend
yet i shall sail for seconds like a kite
while losing gravity as i descend
if money makes a man, than i am yoke
wealth not to live...i'll greet the Devil broke
