'Onya Matt, It's a sad cycle that's been repeated far to many myriad times throughout history.
You have captured it brilliantly mate!

I loved reading that Matt. In fact I enjoyed reading it several times. The tragedy of it. Will we ever see a time when the fighting's done?

That's it Matt, you've got the song to the right tune; the slow march to the beat of the muffled drums.

My initial thought was "Wow . . Matt's had a crack at a poem about the Boxing Day sales." :roll:

But then after reading it I just thought "Wow."

Onya mate.
