Sorry Ron, I'm derailing here - the first stanza made me laugh - it reminded me of a painting that I have of graffitis. One of the writings says, "there is no Christmas this year, they found the father and there is easter either they found the body."

Great write, Ron! So true!

God bless,

Sandie.

you snatched the thoughts right out of my head, Ron ... well done!

This one steals the show on Authors Den today, Ron! A global message here.

Damn right on, Ron...this is truly excellent both in thought and in form...this SHOULD be in someway put into a newspaper so many could read it...it says so much of our times and times past...this is a keeper...Ed & Rufuz

Truer words were never spoken, Ron. While technology really helps us in many ways, it also takes away many jobs that once were done by humans. I suppose it is the way in which the world stretches as it shrinks, but it is difficult to decide on a career when we don't know which direction the future is going to take. I guess the answer is never stop learning and remain flexible with the times. I suppose there are some jobs that will not feel the impact of the technologic age, perhaps a Funeral Director or those who provide personal services like massage therapists, cosmotologists or gourmet chefs, but how many of those do we need? Nicely done, Ron!
Take care,
Sherry
