Well, that\'s my 3 brain cells exhausted for today. Will you say: \'Awww apology for making you use all 3 cells?!\' (apology not needed really. lol). And \'apology\' has a more technical meaning too, not only in the sense of \'saying sorry\'.

Good write SB. I\'m not one for rushing in to try to shed some light on theological problems, as sometimes I may not know what I\'m on about (and Fido tells me, No change there then. lol). Or at times I am unable to sustain an \'argument\' in the sense of \'giving reasons to support a belief, idea, etc\'. I mean that \'argument\' does not mean having a row, in this sense.
But could it be both? God knowing all things, omniscient; and Him giving us free will.
Have lay down, now Fido advises - all that thinking! lol.

it\'s a pretty short piece but you managed to make it really thought provoking, nicely done!

There’s a timeless philosophical knot at the center of this, wrestling honestly with the collision between divine omniscience, free will, responsibility, and the very meaning of God. The final couplet is the keeper for me because “either there is no God or no blame” reduces an enormous theological problem to one sharp, unsettling dilemma and leaves the reader sitting with it.

I\'m sure the theologions will enlighten me, but I would say God didn\'t get off to a good start with Adam and Eve.
The blame game started immediately it seems. As for Kane and Abel, it sure went right down hill there too.
Maybe that was the idea though, it exposes human fraility

A beautiful and bittersweet reflection on how we hold on to the people we love in our memories. The image of grown children remaining forever small behind the bars of a mother’s mind is especially powerful. It captures the tenderness, nostalgia, and quiet sadness of watching children grow beyond the versions we still carry in our hearts.

A beautiful and quietly heartbreaking piece. The simple act of setting the bird free feels like an act of love, but the ending changes everything. The closed glass and the arriving cat leave so much unsaid, making the poem both tender and deeply unsettling.

A wonderfully strange and atmospheric piece. The melancholic opening gradually gives way to dark humor, gothic imagery, and playful intimacy. The contrast makes it both haunting and unexpectedly amusing.

A powerful and unsettling journey through changing political beliefs. I especially like the line about “two wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner” — that is probably my favorite part of the whole piece. It captures, with such a simple and memorable image, the paradoxes and vulnerabilities that can exist within democracy.
What strikes me most is how every ideology eventually reveals its contradictions when viewed through lived experience. The final image is particularly disturbing: technology gives humanity extraordinary power, but without wisdom and restraint, that same power can turn against us. I do not believe people are a cancer to be eradicated, but I understand the warning behind the metaphor. Perhaps the real challenge is not finding the perfect political system, but learning how to govern ourselves without allowing power, fear, greed, or ideology to destroy what we are trying to protect.

I took the low road while you took the scienic route, Soren. Our conclusons are not too far apart, although mine still have a slight seasoning of optimism occasionally, perhaps because my route was not quite so exhausting as yours...
As confessional, a great write, though.

This hits hard, Soren...a lifetime of changing convictions becomes a descent from innocence into total despair. The wit keeps sharpening until it finally turns against humanity itself. Bleak, provocative, and powerfully constructed, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
