Daddy, is it true what Sir Winstons been saying?
He´s upset me a little because I believed I lived in a wonderful kingdom with lots of great opportunities and great things happening.
What´s he been saying to you then Mr Midnight? Perhaps he´s telling tall stories.
I honestly didn´t want to upset you Mr Midnight. I was only stating what I had discovered the other day.
Can you stop beating about the bush Sir Winston and inform us of what you´ve discovered?
I found one of those shiny metal things lying on the living room table and next to it that booklet thing had fallen onto the floor and had come to rest upturned displaying lots of words.
You mean your curiosity go the better of you and you pulled the thing accidently onto the floor.
Well it was only a CD so it doesn´t really matter.
What were the words or lyrics about Sir Winston.
Well I was a bit baffled at first because just like Mr Midnight, I also assumed with live in a beautiful world. I love my little patch of the planet.
The booklet was from that new album from daddy´s favourite band – Depeche Mode.
The album is called “Spirit” and I read the lyrics from the first song on the album.
Here they are:-
GOING BACKWARDS
We have not evolved
We have no respect
We have lost control
We’re going backwards
Ignoring the realities
Going backwards
Are you counting all the casualties?
Where we need to be
We are still in debt
To our insanities
We’re going backwards
Turning back our history
Going backwards
Piling on the misery
See it all in plain sight
Watch men die in real time
But we have nothing inside
We feel nothing inside
We have lost our soul
The course has been set
We’re digging our own hole
We’re going backwards
Armed with new technology
Going backwards
To a caveman mentality
Killings we can control
With senses that have been dulled
Because there’s nothing inside
We…



Really this is a good point… I many ways we are going backwards to a caveman mentality however… maybe that’s the mentality we need. One of simplicity and mindfulness… one of intriguing and curiosity 🙏☀️
Perhaps we need to start at square one again in which to reset our systems. Thank you for your kind words and all the very best from the three of us. 🙂
