suggests that collective survival requires suppressing personal creativity and uniqueness. It implies a trade-off between societal order and individual freedom. Well Done Brother

Soren, this is piercing truth wrapped in quiet rhyme...the dream of home shadowed by the cost of looking away. You turned privilege into poetry, and it hits hard. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

My friend, this reads like a mirror to the darker instincts of humanity…when survival eclipses soul. Unsettling but honest in its provocation. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The reality is and I hate to say this, it doesn\'t matter how we or collective society\'s change or try to change, there will always be those to stop the good and keep the bad well and truly alive. Sorry doom mongering again, enjoyed the read

I enjoyed your poem very much; it really caught my interest because it\'s something I\'ve always believed in. Your poem masterfully explores the tension between individualism and collectivism in the context of survival, revealing that in the pursuit of existence, societal values may need to be reimagined, leading to a transformative shift in personal freedom and creativity. The poem posits that in a quest for the greater good, individual expression may be elevated, yet also sacrificed. Moreover, your poem serves as a profound commentary on the moral dilemmas inherent in the pursuit of survival, inspiring contemplation about the implications of balancing individualism with the greater good. It raises essential questions about the values that govern society and the potential consequences of embracing collectivism.

Freedom today in Britain is strained.
Who would have thought Facebook posts would get the police chapping your door.
They did say the weak would inherit the earth, just seems to be taking a long time.

I\'d say people would rather have an amazing life for themselves than a mediocre life for everyone...not on purpose per se, but that\'s the way the world seems to turn. Well-written description.

A very interesting write, it sounds like the bed is carrying a lot of memories and baggage from the past, maybe a new bed is needed.

That\'s the way it is today, we all ignore the world in case it sues us.
Mind you, I think the white picket fence has been replaced with the 6 foot fence now.

A unique style of writing that expresses a lot of emotional feelings, yet is concise and to the point. Your poem explores the theme of awareness and empowerment in the face of global suffering and conflict, inspiring us to take action. It contrasts the idyllic imagery of a peaceful, domestic life—symbolized by the “white picket fence” and “painted home”—with the harsh realities of the world, where “people die while peace burns,” urging us to make a difference. The subject matter reflects a tension between the speaker\'s personal desires for a tranquil existence and the darker truths of societal issues that they choose to address, motivating us to create positive change.
