Then close your eyes

l have this, sure you also do "this urgent need to communicate" ,hear others saying also the "still more urgent need not to be found."That something not holding understanding of, Glad about it shows still working some stuff out. 


`First you close your eyes to the pictures
Then you close your eyes to the memory
Then close your eyes to the facts
Then you’ll close your eyes to the entire context` 

Relative poverty is this situation where many not being seen,
nor are there stories being listened to, 1-25 people live in UK in destitution .
7 million sanctions be used by this Government since 2010.
Welfare reform act cut all benefits to all people
3000 people who removed from ESA have died
food bank usage increased
National debate revolves around scroungers, millionaire benefit cheats
while the real story goes untold
Not asked 
No discussion
Nothing changed
My own diagnosis is that we moved to a Hedonistic culture where we care little for others, be they ill,poor,aged,vulnerable. result is clear in broken society.
But the worse for myself is the place of the Church, who more then any other group are called to speak up.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
