War Torn Calm

Thank you Richard for taking the time to listen and comment. With hindsight I think that maybe I could have taken a more lighthearted comedic approach to my poem song monologue about being grateful to live in New Zealand. Maybe the Fred Dagg approach I should have taken here is his example attached below.

Oddly enough - I remember this song ... was probably in the phase where I was hitting the pub quite a bit, and might have been on Rage early one morning ....

Cheers

Richard

Thank you, Grah I don't know who Bob and Lou are but I like the comment.  My monologue, with the guitar was a bit of an experiment in bringing ideas out using different threads that hopefully connect what I was thinking when hearing the world news on the radio the morning I wrote the lyrics.  Originally   started it as a straight-out poem that slowly built up into a feeling of apprehension but also in the hope like nature that things continually change and have seasons. The ups and downs and all the bumps in the road of life summed up in a couple of minutes with my guitar backing up the words.     

Deep and dark Pedr. Sorry I'm late reacting to this but I have been busy doing other stuff. At this moment that pic of steak and chips has got my juices flowing, though I'd rather have the steak cooked a little longer. Back to your song/poem; the world seems to have gone crazy once again. Why cant people see that trade and getting along is preferable to killing each other to gain a little ground. Or settling a two thousand year grudge with missiles and bullets! As Mr Lennon said, "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE" Wise words     

Cheers Piri
I am a bit of a medium to well done steak man. Good old John Lennon had it right when it came to Peace. Over the years due to my involvement with a lot of war vets I have also seen the way good people have been left with horrible impacts after been involved with war conflicts. I will attach a short video of me talking to a war vet friend of mine Ray about it.

Cheers Jan there is a lot of turmoil in the world. I just am thankful and feel blessed to be where I am at the moment. Having said that without feeling apprehensive I realise that we have to enjoy and treasure the moment when things are good because all roads have bumps in them. As many of the buskers around town tell me it is tough out there at the moment but despite that you have to remain positive. I will attach a busker talking to me about that here.

Cheers Richard ,  King Homeboy is a big guy with a big heart he also is a actor a short story writer a M C among many other things that should be an interesting Doco when it comes out.  I will attach a short  doco about his backstory and some of his early life struggles made back in 2015 here just in case anyone is interested.
