The Beauty of Being English

Kyanance Cove, The Lizard, Cornwall

She was  proud to be English and the land she was born to is truly beautiful.  She could not help but feel sad for those young, young men who have lost their lives, allegedly protecting this beautiful land that we so often criticise.  In rural Colombia cocaine is used to buy the weekly groceries, there is no money.  She wondered about the Afghanistan economy and wondered what the currency was, poppies perhaps?  If poppies control more than half of the Afghan economy what alternative will the people use to feed their families?  She would not go hungry tonight, as her well fed family sat and watched television in their well constructed house she could not help but wonder what is the reality of those eight young men bought home today, to be buried and grieved for.  Supposedly protecting our green and ancient land.  She would continue to hope and would continue to imagine an angel watching over those who need it most.  A tough decision to make but the right person would get the assistance they so deserved.
