Despite yesterday’s post depicting the dire situation – the sun is shining

Despite storm clouds on the horizon – the sun shines on

Despite the madman in the White House posting photo-shopped ‘tweets’ of himself beating the shit out of a supposed CNN reporter – the sun continues to shine

Despite Kim-Il-Jong, mad dictator incarnate, launching bigger and more deadly missiles and threatening South Korea (still technically at war with) and Japan and even, if news reports are to be believed Alaska – the sun shines inexorably on

Despite getting older and having all sorts of aches and pains, and hairs sprouting like mad triffids from noses and ears – the sun still shines

Despite economic woes aplenty, the rise of food banks and payday loans and zero-hours contracts and hardship all around  – the sun still shines on

Despite constant predictions of its demise, privatization and shortages of Nurses and Money the NHS limps on, borrowing more and more just to keep treating people – the sun shines away

Despite the world’s population rising ever higher, seven billion and growing – the sun doesn’t care, it still shines on

Despite starvation and famine stalking large parts of Africa – the sun still shines

Despite America unilaterally walking out of the Paris Climate Change Agreement, and despite raising Global temperatures which show no real sign of abating – the sun still shines away oblivious to all our concerns….oh dear.
