| This rings true on both sides of the Atlantic. And, translating this into the MJ Memorial Service today, it has been most commented on by our British media that the mood of attendees is more akin to yet another feel-good show rather than that of the funeral of a friend. We are funny people. Clowns, yes. xx |

We watched the 4th of July parade and the fireworks from my balcony, and I was very attentive about everything. The honor guard, the clowns, the politicians in their vehicles, the bands playing their selections, and here we had children on bicycles in various costumes. For a small town we had a good parade that lasted 2 hours. The floats were nice too.
It is a very sad reality though that some people just go to these events to get together with old chums, or get drunk. I have seen both. Thank you for sharing some of the other things we have forgotten too. And thank you for your comments on my poems.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie. |

| Too true and sad a statement. Well written, but if you look closely, you will find many who do show respect and honor those who are truly deserving. But most need to wake up to what is truly important! ~Elizabeth |

| Yes, and let's beat the Michael Jackson dead horse some more while Congress continues to sell us down the river passing tyrannical climate bills, bailouts, covert ops destabilizing Iran, expansion of the war into Pakistan, federalization of all water, federalization of all food, etc. God Lori it never ends. Great poem. If the American people want to see clowns, just turn on C-Span!! |

| A SAD RELIZATION OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE COME TO VALUE WHILE IGNORING THOSE WHO MADE THE OBSERVANCE OF THE PARADE ON FREE SHORES POSSIBLE. IRONIC. THANKS FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS YOU. |

Spot on perfection, Lori, spot on. Shame, how apathetic as a Nation we've become - this daughter, sister, niece, cousin of Veterans, as well as a USAF Veteran, herself, will always honor those who serve(d). Bank on that! Thank you for remembering with such powerful lines - well done.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. |

Although both ku's are sharp I think I prefer the second but maybe it is because the first open the door to the second.

And so it is in our world today. The entertainers get all the glory and those who defend us with their lives are not given a second thought. What a sad situation, indeed. Excellent pairing, Lori.
