When we have no garden and no fields
A simple Daisy makes one feel quite pleased
Daisy chains are luxuries to the poor
That wreck the rich man’s lawns spiteful flowers.
A dandelion in Salford brings the bees.
A pigeon gazes on in disbelief.
A child walks by with chips in reddened hands
The cat waits on the doorstep like a friend.
Down the street comes mother with her key.
She’s smiling sympathetically on me
No-one ever told me grief was fear
Or did they speak but I refused to hear?
Like cancer, blindness, suicide and hat
e The words describe the folk of foreign states. Vigilant and wary as we weep
We feel the loss of God and then our sleep
The world no longer has a solid floor
The foot is hesitant, the head is more.
The rudeness of old friends can hurt like knives
They rush to tell you, you are no-one’s wife.
Though we know we must meet God alone
The status of our soul is overthrown.
And yet we see new visions and new ways
Lying with the worms , as beetles gaze
After brexit some people thought there will be no more immigrants
But then we got a lot of immigrants in 2020 in the form of the covid-19 virus. This virus is very cunning. It needs no passport no visa. They don’t need transport nor housing.
You can’t see them or hear them and if you’re unlucky one of them might infect you or your family.
They may come from Europe or they may come from the Far East
Wouldn’t you be glad it was just people who where immigrants?
Without these immigrants we will be very short of doctors and nurses and care workers in general.

O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

For one, blame evolution.
“Our brains equip us with a mechanism to monitor our mind and our behavior,” Dr. Davidson said, so that when we make errors, we are able to notice the mistake. “In order to recover, we first must notice that a mistake has occurred,” he said.
Just noticing that we’ve deviated from our expectations or goals — whether that’s eating too much or not completing a daily to-do list — isn’t necessarily the same thing as degrading ourselves into a shame spiral. In some cases, like when our safety or moral integrity are on the line, it’s crucial that our brains tell us good from bad so that we learn the right lessons from our experiences.
But sometimes, assigning negative value to our experiences and behaviors can “ensnare” us, Dr. Davidson said, into cycles of unhelpful rumination — like when you lie in bed at night needlessly replaying an awkward interaction or repeatedly revisiting that minor
