The idea behind this poem: there are times in life that are challenging. Here is the traffic light way of handling such situations. From racing thoughts - Red - to the path of serene green. Hope this helps those who've contacted me.
... you know what... I'm not going to flannel here: I don't get it!! ???? It IS very well written and if I could only get the thread, it would be/ is very, very clever! Sorry to let you down, Buddy... :( Battle of rich and poor? Overspending causing 'over-reaching', leading to 'pilfering' - in contrast to the leisure of the idle rich, pleasure-seeking and lazing around getting bronzed? Whatever... you are getting really good at concision and taut writing and I'm really frustrated not to get the thread. Think I'm losing it me marbles, sadly. xx
THERE COMES A TIME FOR US ALL WHEN WE'VE GOT TO 'SHUT DOWN'...LAY BACK, CLEAR THE MIND AND TAKE IT EASY...ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT WE'RE ONLY HUMAN AND ARE DOING THE BEST THAT WE CAN. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
