Life is filled with honest men breeding disaster
from simple solutions and good intentions.
Love is a hasty decision based on limited
evidence and extremely poor advice.
Children are the means by which mistakes
are passed from one generation to the next.

Thanks for posting your poem Barry. I guess Middleton is too widespread a surname to hope for a link with author and poet, .Richard Middleton ('The Ghost Ship', etc.) .
No known link to Richard but who knows. I claim Kate as a cousin but no one will believe my lie. LOL
Thank you Sofia. I was somewhat reluctant about posting this poem. Nice to see that someone read it and gave it such a high rating.

I like the way you present things from a cynical point of view. These days its easier to be a cynic than an optimist.
Unfortunately this is true - it's easier to be a cynic than an optimist.
