Expectations blind us to the real
Like fantasies that populate our world
Better learn what’s here and how to feel
By corruption, many true facts are concealed
The ” good” do evil as the snake uncurls
Expectations blind us to the real
The cunning learn to maximise appeal
Only those who search can find the Word
Better learn what’s here and how to feel
Obvious ,since cunning is their deal
The Charities kept guard on what they heard
Expectations blind us to the real
Now we swim in shallow,filthy seas
Can we find a way to live well and that’s shared?
Notice what is here and how we feel
We know that life is hard and rarely fair
As refugees torn fingernails are bare
Expectations blind us to the real
Better learn what’s here and really feel
How my heart sings 
And allow me to return the compliment to you and your loved ones and all of your people.Thank you.
so very profoundly true, friend … wonderful writing.
Peace and Equality for all ✌
Thank you so much,Afzal.Praying for peace and kindness in this uncertain and sometimes wicked world
so very true, Katherine … and yes this uncertain and cruel world most definitely needs peace and kindness and equality for all ✌
I was talking to some neighbours one Irish,one Indian and I was saying this but they said,nobody will act like that.But as in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah God said he would not destroy them if there were 10 good men or even 1 good man.But there were none.So even a few can be like yeast in dough.We have to try.
so true … even one person can be the catalyst for change. how true your words ring … thank you for again for sharing and for your always kind and generous words of inspiration … peace and equality for all ✌
It’s an honour to speak with you,Afzal
the honour and privilege is mine, Katherine. always a pleasure to meet a person on the same ‘wavelength’ …
Peace and Equality and Light ✌
Thank you so much.It’s like a miracle we can do this and I find it very helpful to my spirits when I feel I write something that communicates to someone, somewhere, in our beautiful yet dark world.May equality come soon and wealth be shared.Then we will be nearer to God, however we interpret our own religious beliefs
every word of your sentiments touch me deeply and you are so very right that it does lift ones spirits when one meets another ‘fellow traveller’ and especially in this beautiful yet flawed world because of the actions of men (almost always men) … may we one day usher in a more equitable world with dignity and equality for all who inhabit this wondrous world of ours.
my very warmest of wishes and regards to you and to all those dear to you, Katherine.
respectfully,
Afzal
Peace and Equality and Light and Love for all ✌
