The cause \"inspired by adult fairy tales accepted by fools\". Wish I could believe in your final stanza - enjoyed though. Thanks.

Doggerel Dave said:

I think Iโ€™ll have my reprisal (obligatory) with a splash of vengeance; satisfied, only then consider forgetting, although the โ€™best served coldโ€™ principle can still pertain in certain circumstances.
Thatโ€™s for me, but I hope it helpsโ€ฆ..lol.

I like the metaphoric approach of this poem allegory is always a most useful poetic tool. Like a map that constantly changes with new voyages and expanded knowledge this poem proposes a chart to guide. Nicely done.

A most interesting rhyme scheme Dan this poem\'s wording reminds me of Bob Dylan in some of his songs. The interpretation of this and all its metaphors would be quite lengthy some rather obscure. There is a general feel of sad rebellion in it. Very nicely done Dan.

Stumbling On
Poetic Licence said:

A sense of a constant despairing wasteland, with little energy or hope to hang on, but we just carrying on wading water, enjoyed the read

Stumbling On
sorenbarrett said:

A metaphoric wasteland is pictured here with little hope and full of despair it is a grim and dark picture. Well imaged and with good flow it runs toward its inevitable end.

Still dark this poem\'s shadow falls hard. Metaphor after metaphor it calls out from the darkness.
