End of the World maybe?

End of the World maybe?

by

Michael Casey

So nobody listens to one another

Smiling is rare nowadays 

People afraid they might invade personal space with a smile 

Nobody shakes hands for fear of catching diseases 

Compliments are not allowed for fear of being misunderstood

And a gesture could lead to a fight 

It. Never used to be like this 

We used to celebrate each others festivals and sample every kind of food under the sun

And laugh when it turned our faces red as it was too spicy 

We asked for and shared recipes 

And smiled and nodded in the street or on the no.11 bus

But now. But now 

We have to get back where we were before 

Laughter in the rain with or without Barry White or Gene Kelly or even Mary Poppins and her umbrellas

We can get back to where our hearts belong 

By sharing a song and a prayer 

And pressing the door bell Ding Dong and saying are you going to Dance in the Street again 

For if you just hide behind your high walls you are a Prisoner 

Just like Criminals in a Jail

The solution is being a Family again. A multi coloured multi faith and no faith  fat and thin and some with double chins or even anorexic looks. Because we need each other and without all of us Something is not quite right. A family is all it's parts same as a body .Head.hands and feet and everything in the middle. 

So I ask you all to realise We are all of one body and every bit of us is needed. And we all need each other too. because one and one make two. And if we love our neighbours then one plus one can make three or more.

And children is what we are here for. To love them.

So we should start by loving one another.

And some body far wiser than me said that.

If only we could all remember that

I wrote this in my Tinnitus bed at 2am or so, I've still not had enough sleep

Barometric pressure and all that

I sent this as an email to Moscow and others on my list while I was in bed

Now I see Singapore has come back strong again

and MY Words and Audio is doing well

so you will all be speaking like me soon
