A pill when you\'re ill
Paul Bell said:
Lets face it, it\'s not in the pharmaceutical industry\'s interests to get you healthy, that don\'t sell pills.
Doctors are no better, they give you five minutes of their time, give you a prescription for more pills.
Once upon a time fruit would be good for you, but even that\'s got drugs sprayed all over it.
We\'re doomed, all doomed.

Hi Sorenbarret,
Fortunately here in England, the doctors don\'t prescribe strong opiods like they do in the US. I watched a very good series a couple of years ago called Dope Sick, it\'s about the Oxycontin epidemic. I recommend it if you ever have time.
A very good write.

A powerful and poignant critique of the healthcare system, exposing its corruption and profit-driven nature through scathing satire, a caustic tone, and vivid religious, gambling, and drug-related imagery.

Too late
Neville said:
to suggest that this in its entirety is intriguing is an understatement .. to suggest anything less would be both completely wrong and a literary insult .. I like it a lot for what it evidently is and what it clearly is not .. Neville

I think we all relate to this Poem of Chances Missed. Let\'s look at what we have.
Enjoyed.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a dark little piece, Soren. The missed chances keep stacking up until the whole poem feels like watching doors close one after another...and by the end, the timing itself becomes the tragedy. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

soheil khodaparasti said:
There is something deeply compelling about this poem. It is dark, sharp, and wonderfully relentless. Every image carries that sense of arriving too late, and the final line lands especially hard—the reprieve comes only after the trap door has already opened.

Thomas W Case said:
There’s a fatalistic momentum here, with each image showing the moment of consequence arriving just after the chance to prevent it has passed. “You put on your glasses after you’re blind” is especially sharp—it captures regret in one brutally simple image.

Paul Bell said:
Procrastination, we all suffer from it.
But there comes a time when its too late, you become the watcher instead of the walker.
So make everyday you have special, you deserve it.

Hi Sorenbarret,
This is very clever. I love how every line is basically another way of saying \"too little, too late\". That trap door opening just as the reprieve is signed is brilliant...really dark too.
Very much enjoyed and a favourite

Now that Summer is packing it\'s Bags, ready for its Journey South: I\'ll miss the Smells of the Countryside. Especially from the Trees.
A fine Poem as usual.

soheil khodaparasti said:
What a beautifully sensory piece. You make the fragrance feel almost tangible, as though the scent of the angel trumpets carries the speaker beyond ordinary experience and into something close to transcendence. I especially love the contrast between all the other intoxicating pleasures you mention and the realization that none of them can compare with something so simple and entirely natural. There is a wonderful sense of surrender to the night air, as if for a moment the world has offered you exactly what you needed.

Soren, I connect with this deeply. There are moments in nature that hit with a force no substance can reproduce...a scent, a sound, a night breeze, and suddenly you are somewhere else entirely. Wonderful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well you convinced me, Soren. And here I was, this entry to be a complaint that I, deprived of an olfactory experience you were prepared to boast about from the depths of the Brazilian rainforest, did not sit well with me.
Retracted. Bunnings, Our giant local supplier carries brugmansia if that be the same vegetation. Might have a spot for one, Means evicting an old established geranium, but will give the whole enterprise active consideration…
Goes without saying, it was an enjoyable write.
