A Question of Waste
L. B. Mek said:
makes me sad
how modernity celebrates
all those flaunting their wealth
and wasting billions
on supposed missions to Mars
yet \'OUR\' children
are marginalised more n more
and left to fend for themselves...
(sobering to contemplate
that this succinctly worded
\'wake up call\'
will be relevant, till the end of time
still
thank you! dear Poet supreme
for boldly stating
what we all, try to willingly ignore!)

Tempted to ask how high these ceilings are.
Mum always had us never eat in the bedroom lest the tomato sauce or any other sauce fall and stain.

The Marks on Our Ceiling
Mottakeenur Rehman said:
\"The Marks on Our Ceiling\" is a poem that captures the speaker\'s reflection on the stains on their dining room ceiling. The speaker uses irony and humor to convey their uneasy thoughts about the origins of the stains. The poem\'s title itself sets the tone for a contemplative, reflective piece that ultimately turns out to be an amusing take on an unpleasant experience.

The poem\'s themes of risk-taking and fear of the unknown are relatable and universal. The speaker\'s hesitation in the face of something as uncertain and potentially dangerous as flying is something that many people can relate to when facing new challenges or taking risks in their lives.

Here\'s an opposite type of risk: I was part of the crew of a submarine repair ship. I went inro their radio room and saw all these coffee cans hanging from the overhead. I asked what their purpose was and was told, \"To catch the leaks.\" Funny how your poem about flying at great risk brought back that memory. More important in your poem is the question on living. One must take a few risks in order to live a full life. Relationships too can depend on one\'s willingness to risk it all. - Phil A,

Agreed, Neville: safety should not always be the preeminent criterion for a good life... risk to be managed.
Enjoyed the metaphor - and if I enjoyed it, then for me it wasn\'t too obscure....

Bella Shepard said:
Dear friend you pose a question to which there should be a simple answer. We solve problems of technology everyday, have teams of experts and scientiests working to improve everything in our world, except the human condition. I question whether we have always been this way, or did we lose ourselves somewhere along the way. Thank you for these three lines of conscience and compassion, it is sorely missing in our world.

A Question of Waste
Mottakeenur Rehman said:
The use of the word \"waste\" in the title of the poem is significant, as it draws attention to the fact that the world produces more than enough food to feed every person, but much of it is lost or thrown away due to inefficiencies in the food production and distribution system. The poet implies that the problem is not so much the lack of resources but the failure to use them effectively

Yes - it\'s piling of butter mountains, etc. There\'s terrible waste around.
I admit Buddhists and some others may think about these things more than some Christians do, though some of them run Food Banks, Energy Banks, etc.

At first, I thought this would turn out to be an Enlightenment era painting of a woman by the sea, but no, it is your vision, your way of finding beauty in the simpler forms of life. Thank you for posting this and lifting my spirits, - Phil A.

An enjoyable thought you provoked, Neville - worth the read.
