The Stage Crumbles Under

The Stage of the World deteriorates beneath the Players feet.

There were familiar boards tread upon

The lights were there to guide

My place on the stage was known

At times, no where to hide.

It was determined what I was to say

Where it were I was to stand

I was to always ask what I may

But not always, the answer understand.

But that was the Stage of my youthful days

As I aged, I found that not only were it my eyes

That saw things different, but in a daze

My mind in itself found efforts that made cries !

With the realization that not only was it not only me,

However, it was more dramatically

The very Stage upon which I performed,

Falling apart, lights dimmed, the stage boards rotting !

Some always see the "wonder", some just view cobwebs and dust. Some see puppies and others an endless drudgery of inconvenience and "unpleasantnesses" to deal with. Life is ever a glass - half-full, half-empty ...wake with a smile or a grumble. It IS a momentary choice but a "lasting" one.

Indeed, very true, however many people have not been given very dust free "stages". I am quite sure those that had been in a Concentration camp during WWII felt their stage had crumbled...and likely not too many puppy dogs there to see.

Our "view" is but OUR own perception of what we experience.

WW2 was a world's answer to economic collapse because of a historical self-centered Royalty's failure of leadership and the pervasive lack of an individual personal understanding by those who gave up their own responsibility to follow the morality they professed. America NUKED TWO separate cities... Germany executed their own people as well as other country's. Russia, China, Japan, England and all the other participants - participated and bear equal responsibility for their own actions - laudable or not.

We bear our own attitudes and views, we earn our ways. We push our own brooms.

Life ISN'T fair but for me the alternative is unacceptable. Just a thought

Thank you, but I am knowledgeable about all these historical events. I do not need nor am I looking for any unsolicited history lessons, but appreciate your apparent need to impress me with your knowledge of it.

[Chris]

Impress? - heck no. You earned your views... and I've earned mine. We've walked our own paths. And we likely do not deeply disagree on so many thens nor even the nows. Merry Christmas and the best of New Year to you and yours.

[KurKota]

I also wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and the best New Year for you and yours that you have ever had! Thank you for your comments and observations...you obviously are a very deep thinker! That is refreshing to discover anywhere.

[Chris]

I look forward to speaking more with you and sharing what it means to be the who that we are.

[KurKota]

I would like that! I will watch for you next week on here, and hopefully we can do just that. I look forward to it.
