Brummet's Conscious Blog

-- Poetry --  Yep - time for poetry. As my blog readers are likely aware, I like to share poetry occasionally here... and it is time for another installment :)   Living Disease There are too many children Walking the dirty streets; Too many children With this living disease. Where are the heroes?  They've succumbed to cement. Where are the parents? They're trying to pay the rent. When TV's babysit And computers consume the rest... Glued to cells and berries and pods, And one more list to do. This use of knowledge  Is dumbing down our world. A lack of life skills Leaves minds in a whirl. Compliance to violence; Shaking hands admit defeat. Why don't we stand up To this living disease? * Excerpted from the Brummet's latest book: Rhythm and Rhyme http://brummet.ca/store.html   Find Dave and Lillian Brummet, excerpts from their books, their radio program, blog, and more at: http://brummet.ca ...
