Being Cynical

Hi Jim,
Yeah, you nailed it!
Although you may not beat me
for being cynical but look out 
the window - how bad is it?
Keep safe and well.
Love,
Terry.

Brilliant write Jim...agreed...the world is a shit pit 😑 x

Sad but true 

Fn a. Jim couldn't have said it better. 

I hear you Jim so loud and clear. For your poem is a clarion call to all that's wrong with today's modern and so called 'civilised' society.
For many it's all about possessing the latest gizmo or the latest big flashy car or a myriad of other shiny, glitzy things.
Materialism gain at its worse, for it doesn't make them more respected or loved.
Just more hollow and shallow.
A sick joke.
Avarice and ego/vanity is sadly rife out there today and they lap it up and wallow in it.
It's not about keeping up with the Joneses but about rubbing their faces in it, or trying to, for it's the eternal unwinnable race
Always trying to belittle others with 'stuff' or 'things', things that are cold and linear and in the short run superceded by something equally soulless and disposable.
And Jim I wrote a poem that's on here called These Things and it broaches and sheds more light on my thoughts on this matter which are shared and mirrored in your well written thoughts and presented poem on this cynical/reality matter at hand.
Thanks Jim and hopefully one day things will change and people too.

You appear to have just hit the proverbial nail on its proverbial head sir .. Much respect .. Nuff said .. N
