Soren, Soren, Soren – you know this is not what the whole debate, loosely labeled ‘Political Correctness’ by those who do not like the original idea is about.
So the concept that language shapes our attitudes, the way a culture places its elements is long debated.
The most simple and obvious example (which should lead you to determine which side you are on) is that of ‘Chairman’: Argument – term excludes in people’s minds women from the role. Response from the other side (that you?) ‘Nah, rubbish- but if you must, we will use the term ‘Chairperson’ so we can continue to keep up our conservative backlash intact’.
For my money, ‘Chair’ would have done the job. (That’s me!)

Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me. Learned that at a very early age in primary school Soren. Sadly too many these days appear to like the sticks and stones. We are living in a world of conflict. Poetry makes it so much better. Yours is a joy to read.

since regularly receiving kudos (from you) for my postings, I thought to browse some poems of yours, which no matter if a smattering of lines pack a punch.

That was a pleasure to read. Easy flow of words. You’re one of the few whose poems are delightfully thought out for the reader. Well done.

The analogy of each stanza is outstanding, as is the superb rhyming pattern that pulls it all together into a masterclass. The message is powerful.

Superb your message, and full of magnificent wisdom I shall show this one to my son, what a way to wake the reader up and make them take a look at the bigger picture that with a positive attitude we can in fact live our lives to the full, despite all of the obstacles and madness. Kudos dearest sorrenbarret 🌹

Isn\'t it ironic that small things in life can turn into disastrous situations. I really enjoyed reading your poem, it has a lot of meaning. Well done.
Thank you
