London Town

A heavy-hearty disposition!

At times, in my mind's eye, my head seems like a simmering volcano on the verge of bursting apart and yet my eyes belie my thoughts as I try not to be at all concerned. Indeed, I am in need of a tidy mind to sort out mine and not a thicket in which I can hide from my deep and long-lasting sadness. Broadly speaking, most people's private thoughts are never recorded and, in similar fashion, far too often, less thoughtfulness is given to matters of the inner self as they are, hardly ever, expressed in words or put on black and white. A particular example is a woman in all men's thoughts which is often described in mental images but never reproduced in a picture. Having said that it is not for anyone to judge whether clinging to an unrealistic prospect is acceptable or despicable since no one has access to anyone's private thoughts. Thoughts, justifiably, are not accountable to dissemination unless, of course, the bearer wishes to do so but there is nothing wrong with drinking from a merrymaking glass that doesn't inebriate, or, aspiring to a little more honey and a little less hardship from time to time; while on the subject of honey and hardship I would rather see the world be spared of the latter for we live in a world of inadequacy and inequality where far too many people are unable to raise their living standard simply because their expectations have been irresponsibly floored by the forces of mediocrity and indifference.  How much one knows and how much one cares to tell are two different things but both are influenced by, perhaps, counterproductive consequence and personal financial interest. Certainly, they cannot narrow mind one's mind once it has been broadened and we owe to ourselves to expect more than what is on offer and by the same token we ought to look at what is now proving so difficult in our world and do something about it.  We have an enormous strength in togetherness, fastened with a firm belief and the intellectual acumen to make good judgements, and overcome adversities, let us make use of those attributes for we can all be a great influence for tolerance and a good sense of right and wrong, and together and only together would we be able to make all men, perhaps for the first time, be part of a world where they have not been fully represented or aware of. Yeah! Let us effectively wipe out the existing state of affairs in the globe, without adhering to the tempestousness of Mars, and let us overcome our limitations by allowing the will of the constituency to dictate their own destine wherever they might be.  Just look in the direction of enlightenment where the good, the bad and ugly meet, it will help you realise, believe me, your sense of identity and with this in mind follow your instinct for our politicians know little more than the rest of us, and if I am mistaken, tell me, how come so much is so wrong in the world of politics.
