\"If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgement and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.\"

Not at all alarmist, a very realistic and powerfully capturing of the urgent and critical state of our world, highlighting the looming dangers of environmental destruction and human complacency. The imagery and metaphors you use evoke a sense of impending doom and the harsh reality we face. Heads up y’all!

A great poem/rant on the human situation. Population increase, technology, greed and a few other issues lie at the center here. Nicely done

Loaded and packed with metaphor after metaphor this is a read that requires multiple revisits and like walking though waist deep waves is slow but most gratifying and beautiful. There is something about exercise mental or physical that leaves one feeling tired but better. Very nice

Loving the progression of thoughts, like tall grass left unkempt, mirrors the chaotic nature of trying to make sense of past experiences. The metaphor of paraffin protecting yet initially hurting is particularly striking, highlighting how self-preservation can often come with its own pain. And still there is more to this poem and from it in the same breath!

These ring as if out of a new book of Proverbs exposing half truths buried under the slag of prevarication. Nicely written in a list like format that presents it as a new ten commandments.

Dan this marvelous piece is full of great lines...(the best way to get our hands clean is by washing something else., The weakest arguments extend from those most needed to be strong,,continually rethinking the things they claim to be sure about,) but the clincher for me was the last two lines of the poem
(anything she did not first believe can just not possibly be right,
if she did not see it happen it could not possibly have occurred)
So many people are like this and it delves deep into human psychology of the times.

What we belief can prove unreliable and makes us question them. Things that bring sense to our world may not always add up, becoming temporary comforts and while remaining hopeful are not very reliable. An ongoing conversation on truth, perception and human experience is quite invaluable! :-)

I loved the last line particularly (then god’s repairman makes the call; not worth fixing.) That kind of sums it up. A sense of darkness pervades this piece and its shadows are reflected in this last line.

The authors comments remind of an ex boss who said to me some people thought i was arrogant and rude, and i said i was confidant and honest. I feel it is like that with this poem, Reality can can across as negative, ( but that1s reality), not everything in life is a bed of roses. Enjoyed the read.

Logic suggests that there has to be a precise point where it (indeed everything) begins .. and conversely, I imagine it also ends .. Your post today points a very pointy finger in what might be a write direction .. perhaps .. 😎👍

Drink In the Sunrise
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This is a wonderful poem and a wonderful story. Indeed, very relatable. \"Bring on the music, raise the Chablis, drink in the sunrise\"...this could be my mantra after a long night of reveling in poetic writing! 🤣 Seriously, Orchi\'s daftness aside (which is rubbing off on me), I absolutely love this line and the ending:
\"The cloud above you is dark sided but means no rain,
still it blocks the sunbeams plainly meant to warm her.
Letting her believe that life is not fooling her again;
you become only another approaching storm.\"
So very, very powerful...how one, despite meaning no harm (rain) can become simply another passing storm. The imagery there is rich, especially having been on a fourteener and having seen how seemingly innocent clouds can turn into passing storms. Wonderful, wonderful imagery that drives the point home. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏
