(so true wise Poet, thank you!)
soon, it will be a hard task
to find anyone, not exhibiting
narcissistic tendencies
in society, a legacy of modernity
consumed, by insular
mirage warped, selfhood fallacies
... far too, soon
for me to ink these words, without
sighing, a stunted mourning
for all that hope
humanity, once represented and
promised
oh how we love, to curate our own
cyclic, tragedies

Brilliant!
(careful, as
in that volcano eruption
of instant
escapist, sensual gratification
is a promise
of lava, proximity decimation
if unprepared
we\'ll toil, in scolding consequence
best, maybe
to thread carefully, step carefully
never blind lunges
unless we are ready, to dissolve
that volcanic ash
as an ingredient, in our evolution\'s
fertilising experiences...)

\"Sans Echo\'s\" is a captivating poem that offers a critical commentary on the societal values and a bygone cultural climate of era.

I could imagine lengthened and \'varnished\' lashes gluing themselves to the RayBan lenses... that would be ticklish.

One time, I dropped some \"acid\"....
and it burnt a hole in my bellbottoms.
I was busy at the time trying to \"foster grants\" to my college fund. Planned on attending UC - Santa Barbara, the best \"party school\" in America, but Nam got in the way, and I ended up in Montreal. Rented an old mini-van and drove with friends across to Aberta. That\'s when I heard \"Birds singing in the dark- Rainy dawn.\" Oh yeah, I stole that from Jack Kerouac. I don\'t know why, but who needs a reason. Live free or die!! - Phil A.

Living it up on someone else\'s offer of getting high on acid was the rage but events can leave echoes - - for though heavy mascara has paled we still get throw backs looked at by those who have their personal reasons for hiding behind shades - -- Whoo ! -- am glad that\'s off my chest before today\'s chores .........x

All I know from this, is that KP flutters her false eyelashes at me, but it don\'t get her very far.... lol.
I will never unravel the meaning of some poems. Doh!

A Handful of Monsters
MendedFences27 said:

True!! One solution to the problem is a world government, but I don\'t think we\'re ready for that yet. Maybe some sort of declaration of world democracy (with enforcement) may work until we are ready.
Your poem has started me to dreaming of the possibilities that would then follow. Global democracy (Enforced) would raise a lot of mistrust. We must also be well aware of the effects of AI. Anyways, thanks for bringing up this subject. My mind is now rambling. - Phil A.

Neville,

… “sadly, it only
takes just one, to fuck all of us ..”

Only if we leave an open door for that “just one”!

Guilty…but only for a short period of time!

In Chicago , certain guys would plan to take that one guy on a tour of a dark alley try to “influence” him to behave better.

Yes, a bad apple in the bunch.
Same with nature, conservation, etc. Along come man (men/women) and f..... it all up (the F word, says Fido!).

The cloak of invisibility can sometimes be a blessing, perhaps a bullit dodged? One never knows. Intriguing write dear friend, I guess I took a little interpretive license here.

Somehow, I felt sorry for the yellow man of her artwork, short-lived from the heat of the experience. Yet. we know that it happens.
Your poem draws a picture of a romance that burned with an overpowering heat. The now, \"Invisible Man\" must gather the strength to move on, and avoid \"crayon\" artists. - Phil A.

\"Celsius Rising\" is a brief yet intriguing poem that captures the initial fascination and subsequent disillusionment experienced by the speaker towards an individual.

Nope is the answer, cos we never have any \'excitement\' Fido says it\'s not good for KP and I. lol.

Oh wow cold hearted with a bit of jam sparkling in the corner vertex of poker smiling puckering lips. Perhaps even flicking a lone rose petal on that rapidly cooling corpse while she walks off unhurriedly, the clacking of her heels ringing with the cadence of the Reaper\'s march.

just going price for good

so desperate, to smile

forgive my horribly warped

They Were Nothing But Fools
L. B. Mek said:

(showcasing great skill, dear Poet
worded, open to interpretation
yet, directing our flow to that
same river of poetic, introspection)
I seem to know these fool\'s innately
those who weave patterns, beyond
logic or consideration\'s
capacity, to comprehend
their zeal for cyclic, idiocy..
\'as i ask, every morning
mirror mirror, whose the fool
you know better than most
in reply, my face looks back
eyes clueless, to life\'s lessons...\'

The Tears of a Crowd Forming
L. B. Mek said:

\'of our tears
forming and falling, in some
kind of obscene
and collective defeat ..
Indeed ..
What began as a trickle,
now rages
outrageously, like a swift
flowing river\'
(so true, worded so acute)

\'So fight it, come closer
stand directly
behind me and hold fast
to my skirts
Oh’ and pray, keep both
your eyes tightly shut ..\'
(Ha! You lead I\'ll try n keep-up
dear wise Kilt loving, exhibitionist
😉)

\'Bouncing off
yellow stained cloth stars
haphazardly set
against a backdrop of hate ..
Just ripe for pinning
come morning, to writhing
grey mountains
piled high with blue striped
pyjamas ..\'
(We, MUST NEVER FORGET!
how it all started, with those
\'yellow stained cloth stars\'
to identify and BRAND
those, deemed inhuman
and hated, because
\'some\'
dogmatic text, millenniums ago
blamed them
for the murder of a character
labelled
as a deity creator, and \'Father\'
to all of existence
including, those very same Jews!
\'some\'
try to forget, by the logic of that
\'same\'
lore, they worship
how these very same Jews
are also \'HIS\' children...
yeah, what \'Father\' wouldn\'t appreciate
the MASS, attempted Genocide
of \'HIS children\'..
yeah, stuff that up your
self righteous, \'GOOD BOOK\'
you brainwashed zealot morons)
