WHY ?
sorenbarrett said:
Satiric, this piece is a comment on war with its destruction and devastation. Some pretend that there is glory in it but it is far outweighed by the horror. Very nicely written it is a fave

Good write N. I knew a guy - he would reply \'Why?\' to everything, even if it was not a question! Bit nutty or eccentric.

This sounds like a rough part of town. Yet in metaphor we all steal and give what is not ours and life goes on. Nicely done

yes this is a true reality check indeed, and I do not expect any changes soon, in most of the countries unfortunately. those who did turned to communism or socialism - which again have their merits and demerits...

I love dark humor and being blind he must have seen nothing but black, so make it black humor. A poke in the eye so to speak. Good one Norman.

ROYAL FAMILY LARGEST BENEFIT CLAIMANTS
Doggerel Dave said:
Great title and general tenor. Your pin says it loud and clear. The only element which gave me pause for thought was was the tail of your comment: \'benefits end\'. Rabbit hole time, and when I emerged I was probably none the wiser beyond the feeling that Britain isn\'t what it was in the \'60\'s and \'70\'s when I lived there, but more currently there appears to have been a revolt by some Labor MPs which may have softened the reforms...........but by how much?

Paul Bell said:
Sadly, not a lot changes in the poverty world.
The rich hoard their money, the poor survive on it.
Britain is the 7th richest country in the world, you wouldn\'t think it would you.

A poetic complaint made in this poem of injustice. But then this type of injustice goes way back before any can remember reinforcing that old cliche Might makes right. The rich will always be rich and the poor poor. As another man once said \"For the poor always ye have with you\"

DEATH OF A CHILD
sorenbarrett said:
The worst possible loss is that of one\'s child. Children are supposed to outlive their parents. This is a sad poem that emphasizes that despite one\'s belief or what words can be said nothing takes away the sting. Dark and well written

Well put, this bunch of politicians who have never run businesses tell business how things should be done and then they wonder why the country is going down the drain.

Yes, and though we may like quiz shows, where does the money come from for the prizes? Is it true - the poor get poorer and the rich get richer?

sorenbarrett said:
It is the heart of capitalism to exploit the worker, that is where money is made. As long as there is greed there will be inequity. A thought provoking poem leading me to the thought that equality is likewise unfair when one\'s investments and labor\'s are not rewarded. Now we are back to where we started. Thanks for getting the mind started this morning

EXPENSIVE DRUGS
sorenbarrett said:
The name is an ironic but sad joke. I do understand the dilema at its extremes where the cost of medication has climbed out of reach of the common man and at that cost treating the poor with drugs that the middle class can\'t afford themselves but pay for others to receive through taxes is another ethical dilema. Socialized medicine is one answer with its own problems. Still it boils down to with limited resources who gets them. This poem is where emotion and charity meets the road of reality and cost. Maybe our eyes are teared up with the smoke of believing in medications as the best cure and the desire to extend life where nature never intended it to go. A hard thing being a parent myself to think. Most thought provoking look what it did to me. Tor that a fave

THE WIDOWER

How difficult to adapt to someone missed, how to fill the hours of the day, each object a reminder. Nicely written it carries a dark and sad mood with it.

Whether by death or abandonment the loss of a father figure is sad for the child and should be for the father as well. A relationship of lost opportunities. Sad
