hi Alf, perse..afflunce cannot be a vice... unless ofcourse the other attributes that u have do eloquently penned... very nice poem it forces one to think about the imbalances in life...thanks for sharing cheers

You have a talent for verse.....something about which I know very little.....except when if it is good or bad and yours is good.
I say unto thee for sure............A camel can pass from the eye of needle but no rich man can enter into kingdom of heaven.......meeks shall inherit the earth.........Good Write.........10++++++++++
