Impaired Imprisoned Innocent (Speak Thy Grief)

by Richard Lung

Overview

Reading again this selection, from three previous journals, mainly in Ellas own words, reminds me how long she has been suffering, from being institutionalised by social services. It also reminds me how much I kept trying to get this fact over to the authorities. I plead with them to free my mother to go to her home, she worked for, with the son she loves, and loves her.

From: 22 July 2020.
… I’ve forgotten where you are. (I give my mothers address. About getting her there:)
It’s going to be too late. I’ll be gone.
That’s my fear.
I know it so well. I keep it out of my mind. It’s just depressing, that’s all. And I’ve had plenty of that.
I know.
… I think I better ring off, there’s a big crowd gathering round....So I’ll say: I’ll love you and leave you, till you ring me again. I love you, darling. God bless you, and I love you so much. Bye-bye…

About the Author

My later years acknowledge the decisive benefit of the internet and the web in allowing me the possibility of publication, therefore giving the incentive to learn subjects to write about them.
I have been the author of the Democracy Science website since 1999. This combined scientific research with democratic reform.

While, from my youth, I acknowledge the intellectual debt that I owed a social science degree, while coming to radically disagree, even as a student, with its out-look and aims.

Whereas from middle age, I acknowledge how much I owed to the friendship of Dorothy Cowlin, largely the subject of my e-book, Dates and Dorothy. This is the second in a series of five books of my collected verse. Her letters to me, and my comments came out, in: Echoes of a Friend.....

Authors have played a big part in my life.
Years ago, two women independently asked me: Richard, don't you ever read anything but serious books?
But Dorothy was an author who influenced me personally, as well as from the written page. And that makes all the difference.

I have only become a book author myself, on retiring age, starting at stopping time!
