Brutal honesty, that\'s what it is. A necessary indictment against the erosion of values and subversion of morality.

I\'ve always been mystified about the entertainment value of zombies. If I want to be disgusted, I\'ll just read politics. Original thoughts? Hardly. Well spoken.

Debate has moved to Political Violence.... Could now do with a new pin. However thought I might tuck it in here for now...
Bernie Sanders on this topic:

He\'s right - if as usual a lonely voice...

I don\'t normally delete a contribution to a thread under one of my pins but here I have just done so.Teddy15 arrived with a contribution which was essentially a repeat of the rancid comments to be found here:

She\'s not very original. Should have blocked her a long time ago. Situation rectified now.

Innocent lives dying in any way is a terrible tragedy...war certainly one of the most major players in that. I really liked what Bella said, which holds true for me too: \"If it is the lives lost, then we should memorialize all those killed by gun violence, drugs, domestic abuse, drunk driving, and on and on.\" That\'s the rub right. So many innocent lives, such selective memorialization...collectively (not necessarily individually) centered on National Pride. And that brings me to what you said too, \"This one has, I suppose, special resonance because of its catastrophic nature on American soil rather than overseas…\" Yes. That is the truth. The USA can almost turn a blind eye on the suffering going on elsewhere, but when it happens here... 💥. So all of that and a bag of chips and I love that your poem says it all more succinctly than I could in my damn reply. 🤣

Yes, people die. But can we not recognize those who sacrificed themselves for others? People get shot all the time. But can we not celebrate those who save others, those who risk their lives? I was hoping for a poem of recognition of the event and how violence is not the answer. This is not your best work, I hope you continue to write with a bit more respect for others. Best, NinjaGirl.

You raise a very important point my friend. Innocent people die every day in so many forms of violence. But when lives are taken en masse, as an attack on our country, it becomes sacrosanct to memorialize. Is it the lives lost or our national pride that we honor? If it is the lives lost, then we should memorialize all those killed by gun violence, drugs, domestic abuse, drunk driving, and on and on. Quite a contemplative write.

I love metaphorical bashing of metaphors. Those obtuse passages demand too much processing power of my outdated CPU. Energy consumption should be reduced for sustainable living...so less metaphorical excursion into the blackhole of artistic indulgence. Loved the poem.

Is this a metaphorical poem, or a literal one? (If \'literal\' and \'metaphorical\' are opposites?). What is Orchi on about now?!
All I know about metaphors is when someone asked me: \'Why did you meet her for?\' Corny joke there! lol.

Not very well, I suspect. Like many gamers and their real offline lives. Much conjecturing on my part though.

Read one of you previous poems and you mentioned \'copilot\'. Had to look it up.
Thought it might be that blow-up thing from \'Airplane\' . Now I know. Prefer to use my Brain.
\'You can\'t call me AI\' as Paul Simon wouldn\'t say.
