But then who can we trust.
It seems like all leaders will be corrupt when power or massive amounts of wealth are involved.
Greed is the downfall of mankind.
It is deeply shaming that men will sell their country for riches.
Nothing is more precious than the land we were born into. Sweet England. I remember the cornfields and the running streams where we caught sticklebacks and put them in jars.
I remember my grandma telling me how her son had fought in the war....my uncle.
I always watched my dad play cricket and the summer air was filled with herbs and scents of wild flowers. Where are those summers? They are lost to a generation of computer game players who let the lark and the blackbird pass by without a thought.
Who watches rabbits play in the glen ?
No one. They are all watching telly.
Who watches the hare running from the harvester ?
No one, they are all on the streets.
Who sees the trout swirling through the shade of the trees in the river that bends ?
No one, they are all intoxicated.
Who cares that our country is lost ?
No one, they are all watching the footie !
