In around 1999 I wrote a poem called “A Woman’s War”, which is in the poetry section of this blog. Never did I think I would write a follow up, yet today that poem arrived, it’s below, and writing it actually hurt. Trying to get my head around the fact that we could be inContinueContinue reading “A Grandaughter’s War”

My Fellow Writers
What are three objects you couldn’t live without? That’s not three objects, and it’s way more than three writers. I hope. As you may have noticed, my blogs since the war broke out probably need their own category called ‘outrage and disbelief’. If you haven’t read “I believe in choices” because I posted it veryContinueContinue reading “My Fellow Writers”
Woke and Sensible
So, there’s a possibility that we are facing WWIII. I’m not going into dramatic language about that, it’s bad enough without adding to it. Are we so sure now that the Woke, who preach peace, respect, and inclusion, are the idiots in this world? Some will say yes because we’re unrealistic, stupid enough to thinkContinueContinue reading “Woke and Sensible”
What is an Opinion?
This image reminds me of two interconnecting question marks, one from earth and the other from the universe.In other words a higher power questioning what we believe to be right and why?There are two different aspects to an opinion: one that is given based on knowledge and experience; one that is actually a personal belief.ContinueContinue reading “What is an Opinion?”
Minefield Time of Year
Humans have an odd way of finding reasons to be upset, something that is exacerbated in multicultural societies. I mean, why not take against someone for their skin colour? There’s nothing better to do in a day is there? When the religion is different that just adds to the fun doesn’t it? Now that weContinueContinue reading “Minefield Time of Year”
A plea for the future
Photo by fauxels on Pexels.com I know I’m not alone in thinking that someone needs to do something about the state of our world and societies. If you look at the behaviour of world leaders, governments, and rather too many ordinary people, you cannot fail to see that this world is deteriorating and they areContinueContinue reading “A plea for the future”
A Song for All Democracies
Tonight I was watching probably the most uninspiring Last Night of the Proms I’ve seen. There were some wonderful songs and acts, the best of which was Bohemian Rhapsody. But the energy just wasn’t there. Something was just off compared to Proms of the past. It got me thinking though. Land of Hope and GloryContinueContinue reading “A Song for All Democracies”
Don’t get me started!

I do not likeWhat does not helpWhat does not healWhat hurtsPretence and prevaricationCriticism and ostracisationDemanding and bullyingSpite and nastinessHiding behind a keyboardwasting your education on insultsLashing out at others using themost hurtful terms a small mind can findNot even caring about the resultsThere isContinueContinue reading “Don’t get me started!”
Unkindness and Violence
I don’t understand unkindness and violence, I never have. Since I was a child I’ve stood back baffled by the behaviour of others. If we moved to a place of love we could change the world.
The Equality of War and Insults
They are for the weak This image doesn’t even begin to demonstrate the longevity of the problem. Humans wage war and humans insult. We’re in the 21st Century and social media has clearly demonstrated that as a race we have barely advanced. Technological complications Yes we laud our technology, the fancy stuff we can build,ContinueContinue reading “The Equality of War and Insults”
