Bella Shepard said:
The impact of addressing this subject of horror in poetic form is truly masterful. It\'s not just a story on the evening news, but an expose of the darkest side of human nature told with feeling. Well done dear poet!

A pitiful state
Merciless goons
Leave the duo in hapless state
A road to travel became the last journey or so
This recount gave me shrills but it is true tale of the society that lives
That horrendous part of humane which lost its humanity
So well deceived dear Neville…

Brilliant!
dear Poet supreme
what empathy, you posses!
(every time, I read of such horrendous travesties
I can\'t help remember, how close Anne Frank
and her family
were, to surviving
and then
one vial human\'s betrayal, later
a father stands
a sole survivor, in that same
hideaway
and I imagine, he\'s thinking
\'why me\'
\'why do i get to survive\'
\'what justice is there, in that\'
...
sometimes, i can\'t help but fear
the cruelty, we fallible humans
posses
far, outweighs
our potential for goodness
or even, decency..
but
I can only hope, i\'m wrong
a featherweight, hope
but still, enough of its ambers
glistening
at that dawning of a new day\'s
promise
gifting me, a path in life
to consume
such devastatingly, heart-breaking
stories
and still, choose
to believe, and hope
somehow)

There are so many around now that just do not seem to care and have no respect in their lives.
Respect and morality seem to have disappeared - why!

Well, if one thinks they are never wrong, and also fails to enjoy life, they just need to be left to their own misery.
This view of one personality raises many questions: How did they get this way? Why do they not savor any part of life? Do they know what they are missing? etc.
This was a great look at a very dark personality. - Phil A.

A Very Sudden Realisation
Bella Shepard said:
I\'m late to the poem, but love it. The hero survives, the coward feels no remorse. I Can\'t possibly imagine what you experienced, but I do know it takes a true hero to see pain, suffering and injustice and acts because he knows it\'s the right thing to do. Hero\'s don\'t have to sit and ponder, they go and do what is needed because that\'s who they are. Thank you for being who you are.

You had me from the beginning nodding my head in agreement with the sad description of those who lack any kind of self awareness. But that zinger at the end is priceless, and dare I say so very well deserved. Well done!

Be nice to think I had an effect on someone which lasted beyond my existence
Your piece will require a pretty tall marble column, but would be, for you, worthwhile, Neville.

Sometimes even giving your all ain\'t enough for some. It is a sad thought when we die we\'re all just photos in an album to be brought out now and again. Mind you, when we\'re in the clouds, so are our photos these days.

Leaving brave footprints to make way for the new is perhaps dangerous as future is ever an unknown adventure. Slow and sure and keeping a watch on how hard to press seems the best way. - - an engaging read on which to ponder mon ami...........x

L. B. Mek said:
indeed, dear Poet
in those days
we all stepped on a little shit
and had the awareness
to smell it, on us..
where as now:
(we brush it all, \'under the carpet\'
till walking, becomes
aquaplaning..
still, we look for more room
to hide our shit
whenever, we mess up
\'denials and distractions
at all cost, Please;\'
you, rule
just give us enough room
to refute our realities
this
be that true, evolutionary state
of our weak willed
regressive, modernity...!)

Ohh, a mystery of life - why is it that s**t hits the fan, and not, say, I dunno, feathers or grass or something random. Best to be facing the opposite direction to the fan then! Oops!
I can see deeper meaning though in this.
