Never a Dull Moment
Doggerel Dave said:

So many elements - some of which made me smile with recognition, some sigh with resignation.
You got the inevitable complexity just right Sax. Thanks.

This is a pattern I can only hope I created with my little crew but my upbringing was for from the delight of just bad!

Still we get the lessons we get and all the better to enjoy your words with!

Much appreciated
Keep it real

Its a super write,

It sounds like my secrets are out of the box

You can pick your friends, but not your family. But some friends don\'t last, family will always be there. Awesome write Sax. ; )

War of Contrition
L. B. Mek said:

(really sorry for hijacking your comment section, dear poet
I was just inspired by your words
and couldn\'t control my overzealous nature,
I meant no disrespect by doing so)..
some people delight at an ice cream treat
others shake their head in bewilderment
at how sugared milk - frozen
can improve someone\'s mood;
science went and explained it all
used words like dopamine hits
to validate its mood swing effects;
but we forget
there was a time - before,
when milk and sugar, was only
for kings and queens
and their aristocracy feeders,
while people\'s lives were valued by
their muscles or weapons
or the power to make other\'s wield
those oppressive resources
for a name or banner;
in those days, some inked words
shared - freely, was all people had
to believe that they had something
more: to aim for, in life;
now fast-forward a few centuries
and we all own, handbag sized guns
with silencers thrown-in for free
but expect \'civility\' to insure
nobody uses them: on us - righteously;
a time where
humanity\'s fallible - fingerprints
has distorted all-things goodness
in what was once
our theological appeasement of life,
now people scream and hate a deity
they don\'t believe-in, absurdly?
while the Pope rides
a gold bulletproof Rolls Royce, accompanied
by motorcades, armed
with those all-important donation boxes
a 10% minimum premium, of all you earn
your price of inclusion, non-negotiable for entry
into your miraged depiction of heaven,
and Ayatollah\'s fight democracy
for modernity\'s truly empowering capacity
to wield Nuclear bombs, freely;
and the Jews, as always
spend their day-to-day, counted-out existence
plotting an economical path
to their continued survival,
cursing the day
they ever shared, \'their God\'
with such an ungrateful world...

War of Contrition
dusk arising said:

A huge con instigated and perpetuated by the christian churches to subtly place the believer in their emotional control.
Once a person frees themselves from christian doctrine and accepts the natural spirituality within us all then the truth begins to dawn if one lets it.
Your poem is a good expression of the guilty opressive burden christianity, be it protestant or catholic, places upon every innocent soul it captures - usually from tender years.

\'your silence\' says it all, Sax - why do you bother?
Great write but too many words for me; however who knows, it might get someone else ....thinking?

War of Attrition

\'The waters rise up from the deepest sea
To wash away the best of me
But the current of life within this body
Creates a tidal wave of deeper courage\'..
an empowering message, thanks for sharing

I enjoyed reading your poem. I believe in the line \"There is a purpose for it all
And all of nature heeds its call.\" Indeed, life has a purpose. Excellent write!

Why Flies should Die!
AuburnScribbler said:

A beautifully written poetic documentary here Saxon Crow, about a most frustrating situation.

This reminds of the time my Mother and I, had a stroll by a nearby marina a few summers back, and our arms became all you can eat buffets for \"pond-midgets\", let\'s just say that roll-on-repellents don\'t work, but Calamine lotion did become our friend the days following.

Bravo, hope that you\'ve got some decent bug spray in, and I hope all is well!

They only live 3 weeks I read.
Yet I will save things like snails that come out on damp days. Well, it can take them a while to cross the path!
