You will be offended
Jabberwocky said:
I don\'t offend easily, but good try.
Guess I\'m a poet, and maybe a crypto-nazi... well, according to \"liberals\", jeez but hasn\'t the centre moved way to the left, we\'re all Nazis now!
I\'m not going to tell you how many of those terms apply to me!

A poignant reflection on how fame burns brightly for a moment, fades into ashes, and leaves behind another generation waiting to chase the same fleeting flame.

Addicted, we are all addicted to something or someone, for better or worse. But when does it become too much? Good write

Yes, it doesn\'t take long to be yesterday\'s man, only the great live forever.
Still, the ground will benefit from the ash.

What a sharp piece, my friend. The fiery imagery, driving sound, and relentless movement reduce celebrity to its inevitable remains...then pass the illusion straight to the next generation. Loved this, Soren! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Carlos Alberto BUSTILLOS said:
It must be awful to be famous, having everyone point at you wherever you go.
But having money to live on —that must be the good part.
Very well written.

Yes we are all addicted to something or other.
Even in Moderation. Even People who are Shut-off from Society, have some Rituals.
A good Write again.

I used to watch the programme, My 600 pounds life, and I was always amazed that a human could get to that weight.
I then realised what i\'d drank through my life probably equated to that.
You pinpoint it perfectly, we\'re all addicted to something, and in moderation it isn\'t a problem.
But when the addiction takes hold we know the consequences.

Hi Sorenbarret,
I really enjoyed this. It made me think of this line by some famous poet 😂
“The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.”
I think that saying is a bunch of bullshit myself though. There\'s too much to lose.
Nicely written.

A pill when you\'re ill
Jabberwocky said:
My first wife was a pharmacist. She was nice, but I get your point.
Pill free. Poetry\'s my medicine.
Thanks for sharing.
In the UK we get pills free on the NHS.
Still a problem though.

Insightful poem, Soren! You broaden the subject beyond its usual boundaries and bring it back to our relationship with appetite itself. My own experience has shown me how personal that dividing line can be. Terrific food for thought, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Good write SB. Should first line be \'addiction\'? Though it could be \'addition\', as addition, too much of anything, leads to addiction.

Thomas W Case said:
There’s a clever tension here between the things we must depend on—air, water, food—and the things that can quietly become destructive when dependence turns into excess, with the repeated rhymes giving it a steady, almost spoken-word rhythm. The strongest idea is the final distinction: the problem isn’t necessarily the substance itself, but when we turn it into a crutch and “loose control,” because that’s where ordinary human need crosses the line into addiction.

Well said. Your poem explores the concept of addiction in its various forms, emphasizing that not all addictions are negative and that moderation is essential for a balanced life.

Good for you, Soren. The therapeutic window should always be considered when one engages in any activity but more specifically when any substance is allowed past one\'s bodily boundaries. Well writ.
