 IF ONLY

 
If only things could be better

Remember how life used to be

Standards were good and morals high

And now it seems ~ our lives are a lie

 
Who do we put our trust in ?

To guide us on our way

To live the life that we should live

And not just pay and pray

 
The promises we've been given

Have been broken ~ more than once

To think with our experience

Are we taken for a 'dunce'

 
That life can be better

I know can be true

A little trust is what we need

For me and yes for you

 
Then we could make this world of our's

A better place ~ for all

If we could work together

Let's start ~ to overhaul.

Hi Mac,  Thank You!!   I was over joyed when my poem was published in 2002. Just had to buy the book, to actually believe it. --- I have written a few, but not to publish.
My Longest comprises, 23 verses, relative to my meeting Eve and I still have the recording on my reel to reel tape. Not perhaps a Poem??  More a true story of my life and meeting  "My Queen" -----

 June 3rd. 2008.  There are so many National issues we could Discuss.  Reading the daily Mail, as we do and giving our 'thoughts' to those Issues, could make for so many Items to talk about  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

The hospital situation is certainly getting worse. Mt son told me he had to wait 3 hours on a trolly in a corridor waiting for an x ray.

In Germany they reduce the hospital staff to be in a position to work economically. For financial reasons many public hospital have been sold in the meantime.

Yes and no, Mac. Technology advances and modern hospital equipment is rather expensive, then you need specialists to operate it and they, too, have their price. Moreover, at least in Germany doctors and nurses are of the opinion that they don't get enough money for their work and last but not least people get older and need more hospital treatment - think of all those artificial hips, knees, cardiac pacemakers etc. etc. Many hospitals write "red figures" as we say and the towns don't dispose of the money to support them any longer, so the towns sell their hospitals.

Its a little different here Teri,we the population pay for our health service,and there are very many of them,workers and pensioners still paying long after they retire.
The NHS is not a money making machine like they have it now,its paid for by the people,for the people,but this is all forgotten now by the capitalists.Hospitals now have to make a profit and to do this people suffer.I really believe we should not cut back on health,its the most precious thing we have.This is what makes people here think they are spending too much on other services like unmarried mothers flats,single parents allowances,etc etc etc.and dare I mention migrants children who live abroad !
