Preservation

Preservation

 
Is it possible that science has changed the world and its face forever?
I often see my friends going on pension, yet they are so young 
when I was a kid I attended the parties of those
who were old and were finally finished with their alarm clocks forever 
through a child’s eyes, they looked like old shriveled prunes
but now it seems… 
as I've grown older myself 
pensioners are a new breed of young 
be it young at heart or physically fighting fit 
something has slowly but surely paved our way of life
leaving us if we are very lucky with health and a bit of wealth
to actually enjoy our later years 
with more opportunities than ever before
science and research playing an enormous part in this reality 
sometimes I think humans don't understand this fact?
keeping our world clean truly is in the greater interest of all mankind? 
and all we have to do as humans, is to honor this fact? 
leaving our planet with clean air 
clean streets and clean minds
our planet is not for the convenience of nuclear waste
that's being thrown into holes under goodness knows where?
with the official nod of one of our pensioners
who holds a title of what should be of dignity and pride yet it's not?
who may one day decide to press a red button and kill it all?
life has so much more to offer than war?
otherwise what’s the purpose of anything?

It's true Roger is a bit darker than John. Antiwarers notwithstanding, for me, George lol

We should be so grateful that we get to live long lives thanks to science yet there is always a human that wants the world in a dark place 😢 we really should all be able to.live in harmony but because we are human we cannot. Thank you dear B.S 🌹

To quote system of a down

Modern globalization, coupled with condemnations
Unnecessary death
Matador corporations
Puppeting your frustrations with the blinded flag
Manufacturing consent is the name of the game
The bottom line is money, nobody gives a fuck
4000 hungry children leave us per hour from starvation
While billions are spent on bombs, creating death showers

For one single child to suffer, warrants the complete destruction of mankind, if I had the capability to eliminate mankind from earth, I would do it, without hesitation. I know for some, this seems a bit of an overreaction but right now there are children starving on this planet while the rest of us build bombs and pay our mortgage.

I know what you mean, there is a dislodge of moral and dignity and fairness, I have been a teacher of children for the past 33 years, I cannot believe on one hand we teach the greatness of our planet and how to preserve it yet our world leaders behave like spoilt brats in prams throwing threats bombs and even worse around, the world has become much darker than it has ever been in my 50 years existence and it's all because of money and power. 😢 Thank you dear N.E I really appreciate your most valued opinion. 🌹 
Instead of celebrating what the people of our world have achieved and living longer we have all this horror of war and climate change and even the threat of nuclear war. Sad really sad.

You know there are so many topics in this marvelous write Shirley. I really really agree with NE... the beauty of the world has been wiped out for me too... it really is all about the money. As for retirement again it's perspective. Those who've spent 50 years in heavy manual jobs do not have the health to enjoy retirement at 67. Oh there is so much I could say here... technology?? 
They are spraying the skies here in UK... 
The arrogant few are fucking with our atmosphere.... no more to say except fabulous write  my friend... really thought provoking X

Just a few weeks ago 10 famous women in the USA went to space on a joyride then they rant about keeping our planet safe lol I totally agree with everything you have said, it's just not level in any case it's all down to cooperative and money sickens me too. The retirement age is given in 40 years in Italy so if you started work like me, when I was 17 the retirement age is 57 with in today's world is extraordinary but that also depends on maternity and time spent in unemployment so each individual is different, I'll be 67 when I am able to retire although they have allowed my UK fund to be counted. Some of my friends are so young but are not looking forward to the time they have free simply because our world is broken. Thank you dearest Marion for your thoughts and discussion point ❤️
