3WW given words
pathetic radical seamless

Radical change in
a seamless world not likely
affecting others

Pathetic though but
designs of holding onto
worldly possessions

Prized Nike had seen
better days to stake claim of
pride of ownership

For Thong's 3WW week #464

  2. Pride through and through when they were new, but still there no matter the wear.

  6. For all the affluence and greed there is in the world little is done to elevate those to share the world's wealth. Charities reach so few of the needy and poverty maintains profits. Thank you Hank for this post.

  8. Having lived in a "third world" country I realized that their pride is something we can learn from. Love this!
