The talking cure

from sky vs weather by The Pots

/

about

It takes all types and they mingle in public spaces, not least cruises. Not easy, but the ability to converse, to share, to communicate is essential if inadequate.

lyrics

They're wondrous and not few
That query this choice
The ship and the bar
Simple, unadventurous
Yeah, true, not home
But new and the news
Understandings remain
Some challenge partaken
For connection, ...
Not forsaken, but human
Still human

Perhaps bananas or mangoes, says one
It's a start
Perhaps travel and pistol, says two
Taken aback, whoo!
But talk none-the-less
Sharing, understandings
At least there's some

People are people
Good and/to heart
But products of othership/society
Ideology, influence, truths
So travellers remain worthy
If problematic

Return to past
It's history again
Yes but no but
Just 250 years
Or 150 years
Our wealth and power
Stripped to few,
unsparing, barons
So denigrate, regulate

News say inevitable
Yet practice says now
But media says so
And conspiracies say no
If criticals say low
Test, quest / past, unmasked
Yet power and monies stay
Threaten, remain
For how long?
Is it time yet?
What's history? What's future?

So little test
Do my minor best
Talk of sunspots
67, floods and rain
Nuclear our gain

They too have their evidence
Schmevidence
The cherry picks,
The paid touts,
The one in 1000
Who hasn't yet relented

But I just hope to remain.
That history of future,
Twisted and dishonest,
Takes from the past
God help us

So it's just listen
and talk,
sometimes,
and stay calm
That's what works
If anything might

For the ills of the world
Need the Talking Cure.
Poor, but what more
can we do
It's so little, but due
