yes Americans especially are spoiled to the fact, but we're gettingna rude awakening now, I really don't think many will forget this fiasco
great poem Debs

avoiding reality until it smacks 'em in the face ... only then do they remember, they are the self-flagellating experiences of their own memory ...

A most timely, apt, and meaningful write, Debs. Thank you for sharing it. Love and peace to you,

Regis

absolutely so. The more information we avidly consume the less cognisant we become; the more we seek our face in the mirror the less we recognise who we are. All is rapidly becoming a complete fiction, the reality of which we won't wake up to until we are living its nightmare. The form of this is like a line-less sonnet, especially with the turn at the second strophe... But then, this is just me beatifying the shape of forgetfulness, right?! :)) xx

I donīt know if that is a human nature but people howl like a wind in the wilderness when something they could have prevented touches them. And in politics you see some politicians speaking this way today without remembering what they have said yesterday on the same subject. Wisdom drips from your beautiful write, brother
