Soren, this moves from grand elements to intimate particles with grace. Storm, tide, humid air…then finally “flecks of dust in the sun.” It suggests that loss doesn’t shrink the world…it saturates it. A gentle, resonant piece, my friend. A fave for sure. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wow, this has some real feeling of anger as the write is clearly venting at those who steal other\'s words. I think all writers take bits and pieces from different people, it\'s impossible not to if you read alot of other people\'s work, but as you have said to David, it\'s acknowledging that matters. Hope you feel better now thats out of the system, nicely written.

Poetic Licence said:
It appears that truth has always been an illusion to many, those of us who actually seek it are constantly bamboozled in our efforts to find it., as it appears to be redifined day by day. Regarding the feeling of impending doom it felt in this write, it is very hard to look at what is happening around the world and find any hope for our children and grandchildren, I feel as humans we are crossing a line that cannot be reversed, enjoyed the read

Yes, I\'ll largely go along with that, Soren, with a couple of caveats:
As I pointed out a very long time ago – ‘we’ doesn’t hack it; the causes and who caused them has nothing to do with you or me.
I wouldn’t label you an anarchist – you urge total hopelessness, and therefore nothing can be done. ‘Nihilist’ fits you much better.
Just one small final query: What does living or not living in Oz got to do with the price of eggs in Brazil?😂

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, this comes out like a political lament wrapped in rhythm…sharp, relentless, and deliberately confrontational. The sweep across systems feels philosophical more than partisan. It honestly reminds me of Plato’s critique of democracy…rule of the majority slipping into moral erosion. That closing line hits heavy. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Self serving governments, more billionaires than ever.
You know things are going wrong when the poor pay tax, but the rich avoid it.
Compound that with the world on the move.
Me thinks the people are at the exploding point now.

Very true. We twist and turn so much to avoid things but end up in a mess ourselves. (My recent posting. There was a problem with the formatting. Sometimes all formatting is lost and the whole text appears as a bunch without line breaks. So I deleted the posting and posted anew.)

This covers all the political theories.Some I haven\'t heard of.The problem with life is too many people and there is no cure in education. For me this is a summary of the human condition with all the problems that entails.Made me think

Stark reality, no punches pulled. Gruff and grim. Truth not wrapped in flowers, but thrown at the reader with a sharp edge. Powerful stuff - Phil A.

Soren, this is visceral from the first line…no filter, no apology. The imagery is harsh on purpose, and it works extremely well. Then that closing image of stolen leaves and robbed lines reframes it all…pain, yes, but also accusation. Bold and unflinching, dearest friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I wonder if anyone reads the whole of a commentary thread below a poem? Coherence in plentiful supply? \'Sorry Soren - this is what comes of too much metaphor....🤣

Wow, you got that out in more ways than one.
You always hope fellow poets write their stuff to the best of their abilities, but even subconsciously we all maybe grab a line off a poem we know.
I would just copy Bob Dylan if I could get away with it.
