Okay, Soren. I found your poem. On the money!
Now, how about if all this misery is feeding something else? Something that has no intention of \"dying\" anytime soon?

This poem explores the distressing consequences of overpopulation and the potential repercussions of technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence, which raises ethical concerns about human worth, the economy, and the societal future if jobs become redundant and resources are limited. The poet appears to tackle problems such as poverty, dependency, the role of technology, genetic superiority, and societal decline, envisioning a dire situation where the marginalized are considered disposable, resulting in a dystopian outlook of a future where only the \'best\' thrive.

Suppose all the AI robots got together and realised humans were just useless beings.
How long before they just got rid of us. You see it with the drones in Ukraine, we\'re a step nearer to oblivion

Me again! I\'m reading a bit on the environment and nutrients in rivers, lakes, etc. It seems there can be too many nutrients in some waters, that works adversely to some species of flora and fauna - called eutrophy = \'Well-fed\'. Or eutrophication. That\'s all my 3 brain cells used up, saying that word!

Good write SB. There\'s horrible eugenics, who wish for some of those things towards the end of the poem. They set themselves up as judges, or gods even (or even God maybe). saying, yes, let\'s dispose of the \'rubbish\', \'sub-standard\' humans. Even if they succeeded, they themselves would be left, and THEY might see themselves as the \'rubbish\'. Though they would be caught up in their hypocrisy and see themselves as the superior ones. Eugenics is evil, I say.
That\'s a lot of thinking, Fido says, and advises me to have a lay down and rest now. lol.

Time and nature have a funny way of taking back what we took from them.... And aren\'t we all falling apart? All it takes is one tug on the roof!

Sounds like my old shed.
It just needs stabilising, couple of nails here and there.
Then it fell down because there was an earthquake ten thousand miles away.

My friend, this is sharp and unsettling…the careful probing, the hidden rot, the moment where fixing becomes unraveling. The ending drops like the roof itself. Powerful work, Soren. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

One of my favorites is well-written, illustrating the cycle of life and how we slowly decay.
Your poem \"The Mark\" revolves around decay, deterioration, and the consequences of neglect over time. It metaphorically explores how structural decay—represented by a rotting beam and a disintegrating wall—mirrors the inevitable decline of human constructs and perhaps even human life. The poet delves into physical decay, using the imagery of a house falling apart to evoke deeper themes of vulnerability, loss, and the fragility of existence.

I generally don\'t try to interpret poems to others. But your representation of how the attempted renovation of an old house revealed its weaknesses and ultimately destroyed it really resonated with me. When we did some changes to our first home (built very early in the nineteen hundres) it revealed the metal lath under the plaster - \"A wall disrobed, naked and bare skeleton.\" We also encountered some surprises - \"corrupted column revealed\". I\'m a very literal person. So, I apologize, if I\'ve missed \"the mark.\" I know there must be more to your poem than that. Needless to say, I enjoyed your poem.

Wonder how many have wandered the land, then ran back to mum.
Let me back in, mum, I don\'t like it out there.
Mind you, I wanted back in when I realised after the first day of primery school I had to go back the next day.
