Came in late as usual. Still, better here than never.
So where are the metaphors? lol.
It is a brilliant critique of modern life, at least for some inhabitants of the rich parts of the world, Soren.
Left me in need of more granular commentary on particular disappointments covered in your poetic statement.

I like this . Having to deal with the False. The Imitation. What\'s a Treadmill to a walk in the Countryside?
Enjoyable Read.

Yes, nobody goes camping anymore, kids get driven ten yards to school, food is delivered to us, telly is 24/7.
People probably live and die in their house without actually leaving it now.
What the hell happened.

A true but sad reflection on the world today where additionally the cell phone (or mobile in the UK) is a poor substitute for verbal conversation and enquiry. Some so called progress is welcome but some deprives us of what is natural now gone and sorely missed. A great write Soren.

I like how you said we cannot go back in time; what we have is only the present, and that is so beautiful. Well written friend 🌸

This reminded me of my dad; he always has a habit of having things that seem useless to me and my mum, but to him, you never know! What it could come to use! Good one.

Selling our freedom for comfort comes at a cost: we gradually diminish ourselves. As our emotional world narrows, it is only natural that emojis become our most fluent language of emotion.

There’s a strong pulse of longing running through this—like a quiet grief for something traded away piece by piece. The structure of contrasts works well; each line feels like a small bargain struck, comfort gained but something vital surrendered.

We have sold our freedom for comfort.
Bowing to the bully of a brave new world.
Sad 😢 but so true and it\'s all thanks to those who allow the power.
Did you know ironically in Italy Diesel now cost more than petrol,

I think we all have alot of Worthless things hidden away somewhere.
I always find it Amazing when some Priceless piece of Art or Manuscript is found in a Attic or Drawer. Like it.

Nicely write. Your poem explores the theme of collecting and the emotional implications of holding onto things deemed worthless. It seems you suggest a deeper commentary on relationships and the human tendency to cling to memories, objects, or connections that may no longer serve a purpose.

A nice comparison between collecting worthless things and staying in an unhealthy relationship.

Soren, what a thoughtful piece. I love how the seemingly random contents of the cigar box slowly become a portrait of the man who keeps them. By the final line, the objects aren\'t really the subject anymore...they\'ve become a mirror. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

She always said she would throw me out with the rubbish.
Probably why I hid the bin and recycled her.
