The world today is in a dreadful mess.
No one accepts responsibility.
It seems that truth and honour matter less
than expedience apparently.
The only thing we value is success
although it’s been achieved dishonestly
The values which our forbears knew are lost
and everyone of us will bear the cost.

Hi Ivor, That is the truth. People are telling me that so and so is successful, because they have this and that. I tell them yes- Hitler was successful too.............
