Oh my goodness, Jon, you made me cry. I’m sad to say that your cartoon is all too often true.
sorry grandmere mimi… you’re right, it is moving. i do love elephants. if it helps, you do sometimes get a rogue elephant and naughty teens, but they do sort themselves out very well. wish people did.
It’s not your fault that the truth is the truth.
yes, i’d hate to be responsible for that!
i just hope i never become a white one …
And many of them are even slimmer thann some humans! :-0
I did think of a way that it was better to be a human than an elephant, but I’ve forgotten what it was.
markk – coffee?
Markk – if you were an Elephant you’d remember
ah but can elephants get the most from a Macbook Pro or use an iPad touch screen, Jon?
more seriously
we are the human race
competing to be first to grab
what we can claim as ours
what we can claim to own
what we can claim to keep
we are a human race
and the left behind
will have no place
within our crowd
within our grab-all world
we are the human race
and I thought it was all the bankers’ fault
but then the MPs got their duck house
and policemen sold their clues
and reporters stole a phone
call from a little girl
We are a human race
but still I thought that it was THEM
not me…
until I heard of whiplash claims
and fraud from crashing cars
just ordinary, ev’ryday folk…
…who are in the human race
competing to be first to grab
what we can claim as ours
what we can claim to own
what we can claim to keep
Lord have mercy,
so that we might learn mercy
for those who do not win the human race,
the weak, the young and old.
Sorry if this makes no sense to folk who didn’t hear the news about insurance companies having
to pay out on thousands of ‘bogus’ injury claims from car accidents… it just seemed to me to yet
another example of us grabbing what we think we can get away with, and it linked to Jon’s cartoon in our inability to notice who needs to be looked after as we race to grab what we can…
ok, I’ll go and get my coat now
Caroline Too – love that, thanks for sharing your gift. I am reminded of the poem ascribed to Mother Teresa called ‘Anway’. It was found written on one of the walls at the prphanage where she worked and it seems a good balance between the good in humans and the darkness or shadow also present in each of us.
