Cold waters
Friendship said:
I must say, you wrote a poem about reality. Well written. Your poem comments on the illusion of happiness that wealth can create, showing that external success and indulgence don\'t guarantee inner peace. It invites reflection on the complexities of human experience and the often-hidden struggles behind a facade of success.

Thomas W Case said:
There’s a damn brutal contrast here, because the lobster, cigar, Blue Label, sable, yacht, and king-size bed create this obscene picture of privilege while the man inside it is quietly being eaten alive by something nobody can see. The final “piece of lead in his head” hits hard precisely because all that luxury turns out to be useless against the disease and dread, leaving the poem with the cold realization that you can sail through paradise and still be unable to escape yourself.

Yes, the sun maybe shining, the cigar cut, Jonnie Walker waiting, pretty wife in the background.
Sadly, all of that pales into insignificance if the body is waning.
How many would end it that way though.

There’s something deeply existential beneath all the luxury and beautiful scenery. You can sail as far as the horizon allows, but there is no geographical escape from the self. Powerful piece my friend.

The Don

The Godfather 🤣 nicely played dear sorrenbarret, if every dad acted as a mobster when it came to their daughter\'s futures maybe the world would be nicer, this Don sounds pretty cool to me. Il padrino! 🌹

Amazing imagery and language, it\'s amazing how many morals this poem has looking closely, everything pretty on the outside whilst the inside is black. Wonderful poetry dear sorrenbarret kudos on the finale. 🌹

This is like the final nail in the coffin.
The doors are closed and the building has been nailed shut.
The crowds walk away for the final time never looking back.

This speaks to me of the Dark Nights rolling in.
Time of year I hate.
My Woman were usually like Espresso Coffee : Foaming at the Mouth about something or other.
A very discriptive write.

So much more than the absence of light darkness may involve the force of time, death, grief, and decay overtaking everything living. Also there is the inevitability of loss.

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.

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

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.
