I think Goodwill went out with Betamax Videos.
But we live in hope.
An enjoyable Poem.

Dave, there’s a real clever bite to this…had me smiling, thinking twice...then smiling again. That final turn into goodwill being the “product” pulls the whole thing together in a way that sticks. Smart and clean. Messy looks good on you, Dave! 🤣 Well written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Excellent work. Sharp, ironic, and almost theatrical—this reads like a dark marketplace pitch for something nobody can actually afford but everyone is already trading.
The grit is in the satire: goodwill turned into a commodity, packaged and leased back to the world that lost it.

More kindness and less judgment works as I feel if I point a finger at someone 4 are pointing at me - 😬so let’s not judge others anytime but take them as they are if we want to maintain relationships 🤔

A little more kindness and a little less judgment works better and is more effective in maintaining relationships 😊
Who Am I to judge someone - when I point one finger at someone four are pointing back at me always - 🤔so it’s wiser and nicer to accept people as they are since none are truly perfect 🙏🏼

Never knew there was a 25th amendment, but now that I do, I\'m calling for the 5th amendment, that protects my sanity from those insane nutters calling me insane. Now I\'m off to iran where America\'s 51st Strate is being unfurled.

A wonderful go at brightening the day and that alone is commendable. I\'m putting my cynicism aside my friend and giving you credit for some creativity here as well as the positivity. Thanks for a little sunshine on a Sunday

this poem is so typically \'you\' - but i feel truth is not lost - it shines out from every poet\'s mind through their poems - how the viewer reads and understands it is from their viewpoint and may or may not be in line with what the poet tries to convey -

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dave, yeah…there’s a kind of weary truth in this. The mechanisms exist, everyone knows they exist, but action just keeps getting pushed off. Then when it finally catches up, it’s messy and reactive instead of deliberate. Your outside perspective actually sharpens that point. Strong piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Since they have utterly failed to uphold the 2nd amendment, why give a hoot for additional bits of foolishness? It\'s all bunk.

The swiftest trend I have ever experienced - Gone and no time to celebrate (observed several hours ago but had other live pressing demands).

sorenbarrett said:
Now Dave the reason I don\'t do many Haikus. This poetic format should be even more complex than what most judge. A few traditional requirements that most neglect:
Structure: Three lines totaling 17 syllables, usually organized in a 5, 7, 5 pattern.
Theme: Traditionally focuses on nature, the seasons, or a specific, fleeting moment.
Kigo (Season Word): A word or phrase that hints at the season, grounding the poem in nature.
Kireji (Cutting Word): A pause or break in the poem, usually in the middle, created by punctuation (like an em dash or ellipsis) to create contrast or juxtaposition.
Imagery: Uses clear, simple imagery rather than complex metaphors or rhyme.
Economy: The poem should be concise, ideally read in one breath.
