Bang bang
Sunday evening sat down to watch the news, see what is going on in the world, and some news bulletin it turned out to be.
The USA is currently in military exercises with South Korea.
Rocket man is sending them up again, the rockets that is not USA.
In Yemen there is fighting amongst the locals with many killed.
In Kashmir the people are in revolt over the treatment they are getting from India.
India and Pakistan are at each others throats ready for a serious outbreak of fighting.
Syria has reported another outbreak of fighting killing a large number of the population.
In Jerusalem some bombs have gone off possibly Palestinian rebels.
In Russia two protest marches took place, one demanding better treatment of the opposition leader who according to sources is being held in prison by Putin, while the general population demand better representation in the order of democracy.
In Hong Kong tear gas was used on protesters by local police in an effort to quell a riot.
In UK dire times ahead according to the anti Brexit brigade who say the UK is headed for a disaster that will split it into four small countries.
Such an array of news and while watching it came into my head,
Louis Armstrong singing,
'and I say to my self,...…….,what a wonderful world'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
