Little Has Changed
In days of yore she would have been
condemned by neighbours as a witch
Their lack of caring was obscene.
They would have “Swum “her in some ditch.
If she survived she was guilty
If she did not quite innocent
They showed her little charity
a facts that’s all too evident
In modern times it’s different.
We merely have her put away
in some old peoples home: Content
she is no longer in our way
Once out of sight she’s out of mind.
Solution of a different kind

Yes get the old out of the way, that seems to be the cry today...10
Little has changed; out of sight out of mind! Ivor a (10) ! ! ! ! Thad
Too true Ivor, respect and returning the care once given is not the norm any more
