Not So Green
Not so green …..by VJ Knutson
Corporations claim to be green
bent as they are on profitability
Contrived, the marketing schemes

They continue to stay there because the world outside may be crueller than that. The abusers provide a roof on the head, and an iota of deemed social respectability.
How long does it take to start earning and move out of the house?
Is it always advisable for a single girl to get married, only to escape her abusive parents?
Is it easy for a married woman to file for divorce with no support outside, and financial interests entangled with the abusive husband or in-laws?
The abuse that children grow up watching makes them think it’s normal, and the patterns spill over into their personal lives.

Stars in the sands
“Join me to start a new initiative - social, creative or commercial”, I said. “It’s the closest friendship I can think of.” They give me blank looks. “You’re busy in a lockdown?” I hear amused remarks.
