Subject to Circumstances...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._N._Taber
Here in England, we will hear from Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, later today whether or not all remaining safety restrictions due to the coronavirus outbreak will be lifted on June 21st.
Sadly, he is expected to announce a further delay, given the spread of the Delta variant and growing number of infections.
Yet again, many personal and business plans will need to be put on hold. We can but hope businesses will survive and personal hopes are not entirely dashed.
Many people, at the end of their tether after more then a year of Covid tensions adversely affecting their everyday lives will be tearful when the expected announcement comes. Yet again, it is down to human nature’s innate powers of endurance to press on regardless, still looking at the brighter side of life... albeit through a misty landscape.
SUBJECT TO CIRCUMSTANCES...
We
shed and partly shed
the
tears of a world left giving
and
partly giving - while
(mostly) hell bent on taking more
than
its fair share or what's said to be
on
offer
We
bleed and partly bleed
for
the ills of a world left fighting
and
partly fighting - for justice,
peace
and love on which it thrives
or
partly thrives, duly obliged to keep up
appearances
We
resist and partly resist
all
prejudice, hate crime, stereotypes
on
which societies - turn
or
partly turn, if only for running
this
or that everyday gamut of its wishing
and
hoping
We
dream and partly dream
of
a world where kindness has the edge
on
its nemeses - humanity’s
innate
sense of right and wrong
putting
it to the test, by having us jumping
through
hoops
We
believe and partly believe
that
mind-body-spirit will see us through,
for
better, for worse - richer
or
poorer, keep us safe or partly safe
wherever
inner eyes focus on the better part
of
human vision
We
are the rains that fall to feed
and
partly feed a natural world on which
humanity,
in turn - feeds
and
partly feeds, reasoning its needs,
makes
such excuses as keep it any which way
but
(quite) loose
Winds, blowing or partly blowing
such
seeds of change as past times so love
to
tell, retell - reworking
lives
and part-lives, keep us on our toes
just
long enough to have capital gains saving
and
partly saving faces
Such is the power of circumstances
letting us live and partly live, ever listening
and partly listening - heartbeats
that would now have us running straight
and narrow, now only partly so for You-Me-Us
thinking we are in control
