Generation Care
Drawing on his experience of over 50 years of health care service the author has imagined how life would improve if mankind moved towards a more caring and loving society. While mankind has greatly benefited from the goods and services which have been delivered by capitalist societies, the excesses of capitalism and the selfishness which leads to inequity have ruined many lives. Love calls us to a caring capitalism in which competition delivers high standards while governance protects the poor. Everyone’s basic needs are met by this society. The model of inspection against governance standards has been used with great success by the Care Quality Commission to improve care and to protect vulnerable patients in the UK National Health Service. With the potential disasters of a viral pandemic followed by the environmental threat of global warming, capitalists are being called to work primarily for care and not primarily for money. It is interesting that this same message is contained in the teachings of Jesus who founded our culture.

Kindness seems to have been a topic of conversation over recent years, but in my view there is still not enough evidence that the concept has really taken hold. It seems that the world's tendency to unkindness is rampant, whereas if we saw an abundance of kindness, care and consideration we would be experiencing a very different place.
Kindness is at the core of the very nature of God, and as we are in His image, so for us it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit ... a manifestation of God living in us.
Peter uses poetry to highlight many thoughts and ideas that will lead us down this train of thought. There is a romanticism in his writing, which should be no surprise for poetry, but it is not a naivety. The crafted language communicates clear messages.
Poems like A Vast Existence offer a lovely sense of peace, drawing the reader in to the landscape with a sense of awe. In fact, an ongoing theme is of the vastness of God, the awe and wonder of our place in such an enormous cosmos, that could only have been created.
Alongside this beauty and wonder, the author is seeing a despairing world, a society of mental health issues, addiction, hunger and rage, with little hope or mercy.
So these poems are a call to action. A call for us to wake up, lift our eyes to see the world around us, to be a generation of carers, to have compassion, to be carers for each other as well as our precious environment.
