These are the things …

These are the things that have proved more valuable than my friendship – a washing machine and a television.

These are the things that are more important than my wellbeing – what other nameless faces will say

These are the things that are more valuable than the lives of countless men, women and children in faraway lands – two four wheel drives and a new kitchen.

These are the things that are worth more than the mental health of thousands of our neighbours – 300 spin doctors and a big fat public pension.

Who am I to demand your interest?

Who are you to demand mine?

Nothing and no-one, except you see me and I see you, and in that seeing there is the acknowledgement of humanity.
