POETRY

Response to the challenges of the day . . . .as we try to get to the roots of our societal dilemmas…………………neatly encapsulated in this brief poem.

 

THE WRONG MOUNTAIN

There was a man,

who could have been

any of us and probably is,

who after a long arduous ascent

full of grit and sacrifice,

glanced back across the horizon,

only to realise that he had

climbed the wrong mountain.
