"Failure is not the only punishment for laziness;
there is also the success of others."
Jules Renard
><>
Economists parse their pipe dreams
"Leaders" lead apace
but somehow the system keeps running
over the long-suffering human race.
Mine is Mine
sacred principle to those who write the rules
'But share a decent portion!'
cry the system's "fools."
And what is life
FOR
if not zeroes on a page?
I've got my near utopia;
yours must wait another age.
While the "wise ones" peddle their pipe dreams
pray don't disturb the sleep
of the rapacious that like it that way
their "too much"
so pleasing to keep.

I feel slightly wiser today. Thank you my friend. And the pictures are awesome.
ReplyDeleteWe have come to the point where enough is never enough. We now live, through the privation and decimation of the middle class, in a "give me more" society that has every individual looking out for themselves.
ReplyDeleteI find it odd that when times get tough charity is the first thing to fly off the landscape.
That Einstein again! He knew more than just relativity, didn 't he?
ReplyDeleteAt my favorite coney the other morning, there were three moneyman types in a nearby booth, in their perfect starched white shirts. Their leader had one of those voices that was impossible to block out, even though he wasn't talking that loudly. He expounded for half an hour (and for who knows how long before I got there) about the market and money and investments, while his two sycophants lapped it up and bowed to the east. It was clear this guy saw EVERYTHING in terms of money. I never wished so much that someone would shut up already. I talked to the waitress after they left, and she said they were also really good at ignoring her when she came over.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't enjoy a good coney dog and some company, what good is a pile of money going to do you?
I hate homelessnes!

Yeah, Mark hit it. Sad but true.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post. I loved the Mark Twain quote and your poetry at the end.
ReplyDeleteWell said. Which makes me think we darn well better keep BP out of Alaska!
ReplyDeleteStunning blue sky. More clear than in the Vancouver area it seems.
ReplyDelete'"Education is what remains
after one has forgotten everything
he has learned in school."
Einstein'
Some truth to that.
Hopefully I will remember some of the material after four degrees.
Happy Weekend, Cloudia.
Impressive writing. Thank you for keeping me awake. Please have a great Sunday.

These photos are really striking, Cloudia. The colors are so incredible. I wish there was a magic cure for homelessness. It is such a sad thing in these islands.
ReplyDeleteAloha, Cloudia. Thanks for the poem. I enjoyed it. And DAve BArry always gets it right.
