Is my old repetition appreciated?! lol. As I say, I may get no further than \'good/fine write\'. (lol) I never thought of juxtaposing, narcissism, etc, in some of the other educated comments!

Love this - it has an element of the surreal but with prophetic undercurrents.

Too enjoyable, trying to make out the barbs from the hilarity! Here’s a couple in response:
Hickory, dickory, dock,
The rat ran up the corporate clock.
Strikes one, strikes two, strikes three,
Climbing fast, no time for glee.

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
In a world where promises don\'t keep.
Look and find, they say in jest,
In life\'s maze, we all do our best.

\"once despised now idolized\" sums it up nicely. The rest fills in the details. Nice.

There are some adverts which transport me back in time. Simpler times, better values, more peaceful. Bringing a nostalgia which I love to be part of. The bisto gravy ad always did that to me. Some of the ads these days are ridiculous. Can’t relate at all. Must be showing my age. That’s my penny worth Soen.

I see the awakening of a nightmare in here, one that we will all live. Superb and thought provoking and your last lines made me think there shall never be peace. 🌹

I\'m not entirely sure whether this has anything to do with subliminal messages that historically were used (for example in cinemas) to get folk to buy a particular product .. if it is, then it works .. but if it isn\'t, then it works .. even better ... Neville

A wonderful write, friend! Well done! I have felt this, and it is an important exercise to consider how external influences shape our desires and how we grapple with the passage of time and the allure of escapism. I could not find a time to want to escape more than now. And we just got through a ton of political ads, not to bring that into it, where what was once despised is now idolized. Then we get ourselves into the holiday season. “Buried peace mourns” indeed! Not sure if I am correct in my interpretation, but this is what hit me when I read. Again, well done Soren! A wonderful write! 🌹👏❤️

Story of my life. Reminds me of the pain and lonliness a person can feel when they have no one to turn to.
