An interesting write, a sense of something has rotted away over time to replaced with anger, probably completely wrong, enjoyed the read

Together, these three images paint a mini-drama of cultural decay: a treasured work, carefully stored, is consumed bit by bit by unseen forces. It’s a meditation on the fragility of physical texts, the passage of time, and the unexpected ways our “classics” can be reclaimed by nature. It may be off the mark but let\'s venture an interpretation: This fancy plate is a meal for tiny silverfish. They’re eating a boxed copy of “The Grapes of Wrath.” I too have witnessed and undergone such a painful encounter with my treasured tomes.

Too many things in life are self-ward... altruism is quite a level unheard of these days. 🙏🏻🕊️

This deeply wise poem in its brevity states the problem at different levels. Greed the basis of capitalism takes from the poor and gives to the rich but also for the very nature of man we hold onto what we have at every level. The rich are nothing more than poor with luck, opportunity, deception and effort. A poignant write and a fave

A very poignant write, the poor go hungry but the rich still want more, sad state of today\'s reality, nicely done

The opening line is a marvellous doorstep to the poem; and the third and last lines a fitting culmination 🕊️🙏🏻
