The Magic Word
I’m looking for that magic word
That could change the whole world.
It doesn’t exist.
I’ve tried stringing words together
To create a supernatural sequence
They simply can’t resist.
I’ve resorted to writing stories
To capture mystical connections
And will not desist.
In frustration I’ve tried whole novels
To recite the esoteric truth
With clenched fist!
The reality finally hit home
That there is no magical solution
But I will persist!

When I look around me at all the horrendous problems of the environment, war, poverty, overpopulation and cruelty I throw my arms up in despair.
It seems to me that the solutions are so very simple. There is no need to create a hell-hole out of the planet. It is purely greed and selfishness that creates this mess. There is plenty enough to go around.
It strikes me that all we need is better management and leadership with compassion, altruism and fairness.
But that is far too much to ask for.
What is that magic word to put things right?
excuse lower case – arm in a sling – I suppose the moral is keep on keeping on – I will if you will – as to the word just looked it up on https://randomwordgenerator.com and got ‘preference’ – woulda preferred anutha word but thems the breaks
So the magic word is preference! Well what do you know!
Why’s the arm in a sling?
shoulder op – hopefully recover my ability to lift heavy things on and off high shelves – or should that be ‘preferably’?
shoulder op – my preferred (geddit?) outcome is being able to lift heavy objects off high shelves again!
Excellent, Opher!
Thanks Jennie!
