I am so feeling this and have experienced it myself. I remember as a youth camping and being able to see a sky full of stars. Latter I went up into the mountains of Brazil and saw stars like I have only seen in movies a sky that could only be described as a colander or better yet a strainer with a light behind it. I miss this. Great write Bella

You are so bloomin write Bella .. I spend ages thinking along similar lines and then trying to write between them .. I reckon the level of reasoning that goes hand in hand with the process of thinking is one of those things that set us apart from other species .. here on earth anyway ... Neville

\"Ability\" = courage, because sometimes (not very often) a concept/idea is presented which shakes the whole foundation of our value system (doesn\'t apply to me \'cos I haven\'t got one !!)
A really well wrought piece worthy of a much more thoughtful response than the shallow interpretation I\'ve given above, Bella.

The ability and humility to admit that there are other ways that you never thought of is a mark of an open mind and a prerequisite of intelligence. Very well expressed Bella.

Having been born in London then moving to a remote town in another country I so appreciate this because the small minded who have no idea of anything, well I meet them everyday but I never judge because well I suppose ignorance in some ways must be bliss just as they say, so I guess by not judging I\'m seeing it another way just as they see me. lol I may have just confused my own thoughts. A wonderful write dear Bella full of points that truly make the reader sit back to ponder. ❤️ What a world we do live in.

Dear Bella, a justified rant. We have the same problems with our politicians on this side of the pond. It is a betrayal of trust when they say they are going to do one thing, and then do the opposite. Currently politically homeless. I relate and many others will too. Have a great weekend.

Thank You!

Poems of gratitude are rare. Poems are like prayers that usually ask for something or complain about something. Gratitude is like a rare jewel to be charished.

Your poem certainly stirs up my own thoughts. Never have I felt so politically homeless as I do now. Such a lack of trust, broken promises. I can’t believe any more what they say. Broken politics. Your rant echoes my own mood Bella. Perfectly poemed.

An interviewer about to interview an Archbishop said to him \'Heck, man (the diluted version!) don\'t be so honest in your interviews; shuffle things around a bit!\'
Meanwhile - is KP real? lol.

I rave about your mightily impressive rant Bella and agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments contained within & the observations that prompted its crafting .. With only very few exceptions, they are not only consummate liars but are responsible for killing more people each year back on back than heroin, great white sharks and Covid combined .. Rant over #2 ..

Accidental Poet said:
Every time I see a debate, it\'s never about what the politicians will do to build a better nation and protect its people. But instead, it\'s about throwing the competition under the bus. Lie about the other guy as much as possible. It\'s never about what the people and nation need and want. And this is a democracy? (shaking head) It\'s like immature 10-year-olds in a club of wann-a-be bosses. How would our forefathers react to today\'s politicians drama acts? Great write Bella.

No argument from me whatsoever, Bella.
‘The truth The reality’ to be found in every one of your lines.
Pollie’s head bursting into flames as they spewed forth such overheated nonsense is an image I’ll not forget for a long while.
Muchly enjoyed your ”rant”.
\"Reality Becomes You\" - special tribute.

The european people are sinking into a worrying nihilism.More and more each individual is becoming an uprooted asocial reality .We are now beyond the ferments of the decomposition .
The Kensington spirit eats away at the very core of the dream...

So true Bella politics is a dirty sales business and an honest politician would never get elected. Sad but a fact trust is a word that does not belong here. A good write.

Don\'t apologise ever for your poetry rants, I think most people feel the same right now about their politicians and lies I\'ve come to the stage where nothing surprises me, but actually without our vote they wouldn\'t have such power in the first place, it\'s hard to trust but we must always hope that they may come through as being a great leader and a builder of roads and bridges rather than knocking them down. ❤️ I am with you 100%

Welcome back Bella. This is a very honest write. My sister\'s ex made up a completely fabricated resume for a teaching job at a Vo-tec school. Every bit of it was lies. And believe it or not, they hired him only to fire him years later when it came out that he was having an affair with a student. I tell you, some people just really amaze me at what they think they can get away with. 🙄
