Wise Words for You

The government's determination to redefine the word poverty is likely to re-ignite the once red-hot political debate as to whether poverty actually exists in Britain. There will be many people reading this now who instinctively believe that you cannot have a breadline if everyone can afford bread. It is obvious that the UK does not suffer from the levels of squalor and starvation associated with poverty in previous centuries or less developed countries. But the deep trepidation felt by those who campaign on behalf of the most deprived and vulnerable citizens is that in challenging the notion of "relative" rather than "absolute poverty', we fatally undermine our commitment to the poorest in our society. Political acceptance of the concept of "relative poverty" was hard won. An influential voice in the campaign to redefine the word for the 20th Century was Professor Peter Townsend, a left-wing academic who founded the Child Poverty Act...

Kate, the writer of this poem, was unable to speak, but was occasionally seen to write. After her death, her hospital locker was emptied and this poem was found. What do you see, nurses, what do you see? What are you thinking when you look at me? A crabbit old woman, not very wise, Uncertain of habit with far-away eyes Who dribbles her food and makes no reply When you say in a loud voice “I do wish you’d try”. Who seems not to notice the things that you do And forever is losing a stick or a shoe Who unresistingly or not lets you do as you will, With bathing and feeding – the long day to fill. Is that what you’re thinking? Is that what you see? Then open your eyes nurse – you’re looking at me. I’ll tell you who I am as I sit here so still As I move at your bidding, as I eat at your will. I’m a small child of ten with a father and mother, Brothers and sisters who love one another. A young girl of sixteen with wings on her feet, Drea...

Now I have been in contact with various people in my time at Penwith Radio and through School (Pool School & Community College), but since I joined LinkedIn I have had some really good comments as you will see. The first set of comments have come from the time I spent on Penwith Radio. George Care , Director and Presenter, Penwith Radio (colleague) worked directly with you “David is a very keen and interested member of the team at Penwith Radio.

The Weather the last few days, well every other day since Wednesday 21st of November 2012 has been uniquely different in opposite contrasts, as Thursday was wet and windy, Friday was dry and cloudy, whilst today it has gone back to wet & windy but not as windy at the current moment (18.00 GMT). I saw this poem which I thought I share with you now to read. Rain, Rain, wash over me, cleanse an purify me, your drops, so soothing n' smooth, lull me to sleep, content, not blue, Rain, Rain, drops abound, clean my body n' soul, make me new, with no walls around, Rain Rain, my roof you seek, your floods wash over me, the emotions do peek, cause rain is life-giving, much zeal to thee, Rain, Rain, clean my body, for you always make me, feel so fancy n' so free, Rain, Rain, refreshing to me, for during the rain, no refrain from sleepin I see, Rain, Rain, stay with me, cause I'm in love with you, you leave me unchained, feeling worthy, not blue. Ri...

  My thoughts are as free from external pressures as possible; they are on as pure a philosophical level as possible. My thoughts are simply intended to provide a sounding board for your own, if you are interested. Some of what I say may go against your own thoughts and beliefs; and – occasionally – the manner in which it is said may seem harsh, targeted and malicious. This is not my intention – especially with those of you that know me. I am simply using the world I experience, including other people, as a way of debating my own way through existence.      

               Welcome to A New refreshing venture by myself (Wise Words), I am not God, I am not a creator of the Universe nor time. I may be Wise but I am not knowing all, my Personal Disclaimer will reassure you I am free of thoughts and all the Blogs you are about to read are my thoughts of that particular subject. Alpha is often used in terms of "first", in other words "the best". Alpha male is the dominant man (or woman in certain situations) that leads the group, because it is the strongest, and we often consider that only that the strongest can lead. In relation to this Blog this is the Alpha, the many times I have read blogs and seen many tweets on Twitter or posts on Facebook or people talking on chat rooms. I thought I start something, that something is this blog.   This Video epitomes the Alpha as it is Alpha played by Vangelis, one of my favourite tracks.   Do you want come with me? '...
