They Had their Chance ...
Twisted wreckage
Yester-year
Humankind’s contribution
The Universe
looks on …
bemused …
patient …
As always, they do this to themselves
Solution?
As always, you know that … Implosion
We’ll pass back this way in an Aeon or so
This lot had their warning
Nature has the ground again
… and the message has been received
to Humankind, show no mercy
As always, their arrogance brings them down
Conundrum
That’s as may be so
But that still doesn’t solve the problem
Oh?
How did I end up on this branch?
And more’s to the point,
How do I get back down?
No Prob! Nature will solve it.
You just be patient!!
And enjoy the view!!!

His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
