Guilty before being proven innocent.......

In a court of law you have the chance to prove your innocence before guilt but lo and behold if you come up against a government department here in Queensland. One is automatically judged as GUILTY and the roll on effect is immeasurable. If you dare to question the so called authority , beware that you will then be classed as dismissive of mischevious claims. Somewhere , someone has to be held accountable for the harassment this department metes out on the whim of pure evil.

In our modern times , we credit ourselves with providing the best education for birth control and unwanted pregnancies. Its amazing the number of teens and young women who find themselves pregnant and use all types of excuses, "oh i was on the pill", and the best 1 i have heard is, " dont know how it happend". Then we have the Golden Carrot being dangled by the government, a lump sum payment of 5 thousand dollars for the birth of every newborn. Year after year we see young women producing more children , I know of 1 female who is 22, and single, has 5 children and is pregnant with her 6th! These children are from different sperm donors. I use the terminology of sperm donor as there is no stability here, no responsibillity shown by the mother to provide these children with what every child has the right to know and experience, a father. I get sick and tired of hearing about men who get a girl pregnant and then run off. If the female is not sure the guy is going to practise safe sex then it is up to her to ensure a pregnancy does not occur. The percentage of pregnancies that can occur through failure of contraception doesnt compare to the rapidly rising birth rate among women who are single. Women need to take responsibility themselves and stop using men as sperm donors and the government as their weekly pay packet. More importantly, its the children who miss out, no amount of money , food, great toys or clothing can compensate for what kids need more, a mother and father who can positively parent their offspring.

Ive liked many but loved very few, no 1 has been as special as you, id stand and wait in the worlds longest que, just for the pleasure of a moment with you :-)

The embers lay smouldering, yearning for that one puff of wind to give life as there had once been. There it was, the flame started small, grew, danced and shone in the darkness, alas the same wind silenced the flame and what remained once again was a smouldering lifeless ember.

around the corner

Around the corner I have a friend, In this great world that has no end, Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, And before I know it, a year is gone. And I never see my old friends face, For life is a swift and terrible race, He knows I like him just as well, As in the days when I rang his bell. And he rang mine but we were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men. Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired of trying to make a name. "Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim Just to show that I'm thinking of him." But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And distance between us grows and grows. Around the corner, yet miles away, "Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today." And that's what we get and deserve in the end. Around the corner, a vanished friend. Remember to always say what you mean.

Of all the friends I've ever met, You're the one I won't forget. And if I die Before you do I'll go to heaven And wait for you I'll give the angels Back their wings And risk the loss Of everything Just to prove My friendship is true I'm thankful to have a Friend like you!
