As of September 2007
there were
An estimated six point six billion people
On the face of the earth! !
How...in Heaven's name...
Do you pick?
Who should you be friends with?
Who to fall in love with?
Who to start a war with?
Who to save....? ?
How..in heaven's name...
Do you pick? ? ?
It baffles me..
And actually what I think
Is that I don't pick them....
They...pick me...
Well...at least one could hope...no? ?
(For all my dear friends in the world! !)
Dee as Ernestine quite rightly said this is a thought provoking piece of writing that get the old grey matter working. I can well understand the dilemma when there are so many who want to be friends and a lot of them you may never see. I've been lucky to meet some of my friends up here, Ernestine was one of them. It was a joy and an honour to be enriched by their company. As for yourself, meeting you, who knows as I plan to come back to Canada in the next couple of years. Our paths might just cross. Great poem as usual. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David
Greedy girl yiu have loads of friends, one here in France. Why would you want to pick a fight, it's to tiring. love Chris xx
And how of all the (probably not quite 6.6 billion but a pretty few thousand) poets on this site does one choose how to read? Oh I got an idea... you go for those you know to be talented. That's why I'm reading you right now.... :) t xx
Dee, I remember thinking how silly it was - - - when I saw the ' Star Trek ' movie... # 1, ' V - GER ' had to exterminate because the third planet was ' infested ' by the carbon - based units! It is getting less silly all the time. B.V.A.

I see your point Dee, a vast number to get friendly with. One feels somewhat like an Ant in a colony running around all over the place, swarming about endlessly. Just a little speck on this planet. A thought provoking piece of writing. Stimulating for the old grey matter. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
