The scenes from the animal kingdom depicted in the poem are cruel, yet undeniable. Naturally, they also allude to ungrateful human children—to some among them, I hope.

I\'m sure this Scenario could have happened.
A family divided by loyalties.
Remembering \'North and South\' that brilliant drama of the 90s.

oren, this was brutal to sit with. That kind of division leaves nobody untouched, no matter which side they think they’re standing on. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Hello, Soren,
\"By God! I\'ll kill, I swear.\".That\'s the line that got me and then to smite one\'s own brother. You have really captured the hellishness of war and the red rage that blinds men to do the unspeakable, the incomprehensible acts of violence. The American civil war was up close, eye to eye, bloody, where men were fithing out of hate, Godless, as is always the case when one is in the heat of battle. Reasoning, principle and humanity lost in the mayhem of blood thirsty beasts trying to slaughter each other; a madness unhinged which we are still witnessing today in many parts of the world. An excelllent poem, Soren and well worth the read, heartbreaking as it surely is. Very well done indeed.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

A darkly humorous meditation on the strange contradictions of purity, consumption, and the things we casually share without a second thought.

A really beautiful reflection on life as an imperfect manuscript, shaped by mistakes, revisions, losses, and unexpected turns.

An interesting meditation on forgotten genius, where history becomes both a graveyard and a vault for voices that deserved to be heard.

A dark, haunting reflection on betrayal and legacy, suggesting that what we nurture can ultimately turn against us.

A beautiful blending of grotesque imagery with quiet menace to create an atmosphere that is both disturbing and compelling.

You have captured the brutal paradox of war beautifully, dear friend—where loyalty, ideology, and family collide. The stark ending leaves a troubling ambiguity about whether conviction can survive the cost of violence.

War invokes the monsters lying within ordinary men. Ideology often overrides love. Patriotism has a face of cruelty in extreme circumstances and sometimes in benign situations as well. Righteousness may be a self-formulating fog wherein he kills his own brother fully convinced he is serving a higher cause. At what cost though?

You get a lot of dumb wars, but the American civil war definitely rates highly.
Though I know a lot of states would probably disagree with me.
Rows of soldiers graves around the world should really teach us something, but for some reason we keep adding to them.

Ah, memories. I often find memories of the past. Some good, some not. But mostly good. Great, thought-provoking words most can relate to.

Hello, Soren,
A face to reckon with and words to fear, any young man would tremble and yet so out of character but understandable when the love of a daughter is involved, as would a wolf growl. Fierce, honest and poetically expressed with gusto. well done, my friend.
Fond regards,
Tony.

This is truly revealing. Your poem has a sharp, playful voice that uses humor and discomfort to reveal a deeper truth: we constantly share the world with others, even in ways we rarely think about. The imagery is intentionally provocative, but it works — it reminds the reader that nothing in life is truly “pure” or exclusively ours. It made me think of the many times I travelled and inhaled other people\'s air, and, for that matter, their gas. It made me chuckle at the end. Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Sorenbarret, I love this write. I hope it works out for them both. He\'ll have to make it work if he\'s marrying the Don\'s daughter. I\'m currently watching Gomorrah in Italian with subtitles. You\'re brilliant poem made me think of this.
