The Worls Cries for Just Abundance
Let us speak of how to say
Words that help to free the day
For Mother wants us all to prosper
To live in abundance beyond
Out petty, selfish dreams.
Let go of prettiness for beauty
Let go of pettiness for profound truth
Rejoice, for our free abundant future has arrived
If we leave no one behind.

Hmm..
I have been away too long...now, if you said that to a London cabbie, he would think you'd been "inside" for a stretch. Next time I visit, I'll take a notepad :) Very funny post

(That's a Cockney wink..)

I dunno Ariel70. Do you fink sarf Londoners would say so much? Being familiar with the accent I understood this post and was very entertained. Happily, in my quite recent experience things are not that grim. My son spent his first years in a south London school with no lasting damage. The teaching was under-resourced but all of his teachers were diligent professionals trying to do their best. He still corresponds with some of them and uses proper English. He used to drop the occasional "t" but we've now got that sor_ed.

One Word Explains... Ignorance
Additionally, the lack of manners and social skills taught at home leads to such! A nice back hand on the mouth early in life would really make a difference.
