Five Years – Stuck On My Eyes. (David Bowie – 1972).
Five Years, What a Surprise!
Five Years – My Brain hurts a lot!
Five Years! That’s all We’ve Got!
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying (dying)
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying (lying)
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV’s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
Leave this town, leave this place! Well after five years and four months I am UK bound tonight. In those five years there’s been Brexit, Covid, and war in Ukraine. Fake news / Disinformation has become the insidious virus that has affected every corner of our small world. A tool used by deniers and liars. A.I. will soon change our world forever, probably killing off creative writing as it will be impossible to tell whether a human wrote it or a machine. Giving CEO’s the mechanism to get richer by replacing fathers, sons, mothers and daughters with a pretending to be sentient algorithm yet we still haven’t learned how to get by without killing each other.
SaigonSighs is taking a 6 months break as I return to UK. So to all my fans, readers and followers — all two of them — Take care out there and hopefully back in November.
Love and peace John
