After busy days, a lull;
But taking
time out isn’t dull
As mellow mango
tea delights
Time to put
the world to rights!
The
helter-skelter many ride
Propels us
forward, though we’ve tried
To call a
halt, put down our phone …
Our spirit
needs some time alone.
Technology sure
has its place
But makes
us live at break-neck pace;
How easy it
is to explore*
The complex
pattern that is war…
What
happened to the “Good Old Days”
When Sunday
Papers were the rage:
A weekly
dip into the news
With
different, sagely filtered, views?
It may seem
we have lost the plot
As Fake
News grabs us, like as not
Our
prurient minds are overfed;
Is discernment,
that rare gift, now dead?
