Forgetfulness - The Personal and The Political

What was it I meant to do when I went downstairs into the basement...?

I forget!

A common malady these days...at my age

Early Alzheimer, dementia, too much on my plate, too much vino...?

Yesterday, I heard that high blood pressure can whittle down the memory.

Another excuse for my forgetfulness. Great! (or not!)

Which reminds me of something
I'd rather forget - the current Government.

They too have forgotten alot -

The longer
they warm their butts in the majority of seats in the House of Assembly,
they forget about

Accountability
Accessibility
Connectivity
Colloboration
Promises
Principles
The almighty Trust Factor ...

There is no doubt that the current government can be diagnosed with
an acute form of political Alzheimer

They have forgotten about
Decency
Democracy
Commitments
Communities
Coolness
The Fishery
Rural Regions
Respect
Small schools
Little souls ...like Kalleigh


Someone needs to remind each of those government's peeps that

When you lose touch
YOU LOSE!
(no matter how many seats you have in the HOA
-the House of Assembly)

Government has forgotten it really means
House of ACCOUNTABILITY

Which proves that when you age,
you run a greater risk of forgetting a lot of meaningful things ...

Personally - its not entirely controllable ...
Politically -  all you have to do is remember what you stood for;
and then you won't forget ....
