The First Three Weeks

Early Hours:

 I’m climbing back from a hole that was black

But I’m not exactly sure what I think about that

Inside & Outside:

 I tell them all what they all want to hear

But I’m not really sure that I make myself clear

Setbacks:

 To fix my soul, each day I plan – one tiny little goal

But then it seems each day I fix just what I can’t control

The System:

They told me all that I must do

They gave me meds so I won’t be blue

But when I try to carry through

They say “Oh no we are not for you”

                    *****

 Poor Eliza’s dear old Alfred P

Was in some ways exactly like me

Yet he was happy, he did not want more,

So unlike him I do deplore

That I am part of the undeserving poor

I LOVE RUMPOLE of THE OLD BAILEY

saywhatumean2say

 I FIND MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN MYSELF AND THAT OLD CODGER

 

 Oh yes Horace Rumpole, he brightened my life when I found him. 

I actually discovered him through Mortimer’s short stories in the 1970s, although they evidently were subsequent to the BBC series but at that time I did not “receive” the BBC and was unaware of this

“Freedom Fighter”

until the books were published.

 

 That “Old Bailey Hack” definitely agreed with Henrik Ibsen;

“Never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth”.

 Rumpole and I have so much in common, our similarities are very near.

 I too have occasionally been seen smoking a small cheroot

with cigar ash trailing down my waistcoat.

Oh yes, I certainly have the protruding stomach for that (or as I like to call it the shelf that carries my boobs)…again apologies but this time to Maya Angelou …but in regards…

Those Damn Pesky Civilians

In Saner Thought

Many of us bloggers have been ranting about the amount of civilians that are killed in our many, many wars…..how the US tries to justify or just plain deny that these casualties are actually happening.

Of course we could always write them off as “collateral damage”…..anything to get the “bad guy”, right?

I know there can be no rules in a war….well that is just not right…there are rules ans a civilized nation should abide be the set of rules in war.

Rule 1. The parties to the conflict must at all times distinguish between civilians and combatants. Attacks may only be directed against combatants. Attacks must not be directed against civilians.

But what if the nation makes up its own rules for civilians in a war zone?

Though the Pentagon has mostly issued blanket denials whenever they’re caught killing civilians in airstrikes against ISIS targets anyhow, officials say their…
