About this ebook
Revelations or predictions?
Worries put to sleep, while others, never realised, awakened.
Lamentable verses and prophetic topics of wisdom, or just things to be put behind you while you live your life in your personal, safe, sense of reality.
Ask yourself; what is under that fine veneer of your 'stable' life, and just how quickly could one of my little ironies surface to wreck havoc?

About the Author…
I write as a philosophical psychologist with a twist of comedy. As far as you are concerned, I am either a madman or have a point.
My little stories mean to stretch your imagination and your awareness. I hope they give you pleasure, food for thought, and change your perception about you, your world, and your safe little place in it.
I sincerely hope that, if you read my books, they are not what you were expecting.

Introduction
A set of singularly, perplexing, and very worrying tales of your future, as foreseen, discussed and deliberated upon by better men than you or I.
******
Imagine a Climate Summit Committee, sitting in a car on an extremely hot sunny day, deciding what to do…
The Mother of all Climate Summits
Ladies and gentlemen, we are sitting here to debate the rising temperature. Do we open a window?
Says the chairman.
Now just a minute!
Member number one intercedes, What do I personally stand to lose if the said window is opened, and what will this expenditure of effort cost in the long term?
Yes, quite so.
Member number four concurs: Are we absolutely sure that the window is the cause of our dilemma, or is there another cause?
Indeed!
says Member number three, how can we be certain of the physics or math?
What if it is proven that the sun is ultimately the cause?
Member number four suggested.
I think more data is needed, and the results should be carefully scrutinised and evaluated,
Member number three stated.
Yes, and then a ballot held to see who is in agreement!
Member number two agreed.
Ah! But if it is decided that the window is the cause and the solution to our predicament, then which window should be opened, and just how far?
Member number three postulated.
Indeed, and for how long?
Member number one queried.
And who shall be responsible for this task?
Member number two gasps.
"Well, obviously, someone else! Member number one rasps!
After much debate, they all duly voted, voiced their respective interests, and discussed, digressed, and discussed again.
Thus, in the car, they sat, going on in strange paradox, deciding only to be undecided, resolved only to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.
A motion was held, dubiously ratified, altered, and ratified yet again, until all concluded; it was definitely someone else’s responsibility, moral duty even, to open the said window.
While they waited for somebody else to open the said window, all sadly expired from heatstroke!
Thus, they were enshrined, car and all, encased in a grand tomb, built from bricks of hedonistic self-indulgence.
The mortar holding them in place, made from pointless rhetoric (which was in abundant supply), poured from a bucket labelled procrastination.
And on the grey stone door was carved an ode…
They deliberated and procrastinated
Argued, while dourly emancipated
Never wavered, never paused
Fine semantics, eulogised every accord
The group to a man, all, every
