There is a lesson here. We can not succumb to the way of others in fear of losing ourselves. Nicely done. A fav.

Nicely written. Your poem revolves around personal tastes in food, aesthetics, and morality, ultimately leading to a contemplation of how societal influences shape our understanding of beauty and truth. The Poet expresses both explicit preferences and implicit prejudices that inform their worldview.

Thomas W Case said:
Gritty honesty drips from your lines—simple tastes, sharp edges, the world seen through both desire and doubt.
There’s a rough, knowing eye here, the kind that notices beauty even when it lies.

Soren, what works here is the progression. From lima beans and jeans to mirrors and distilled intoxication, you expand the frame. “Beauty is in the viewer’s eye” becomes less cliché and more indictment. The rhythm keeps it tight, but the message cuts deeper. Love this, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

wow... great short poem from the great Soren. I\'ve been thinking about greed a lot, and that very fear of becoming what I hate...

Yes, I want my furniture nailed, don\'t need the Ikea instrutions that say you should never use a sledge hammer but you end up doing just that.
Tight fitting women suit me fine, and when intoxicated, everyone is lovely.

science is an exact prediction, and yet the interaction between science, nature and free will defies all logic. so this is where divinity steps in i feel..

Your Poem Midas comes from the greek leglends. No, it includes themes of greed, fear, and the consequences of actions motivated by scarcity. The reference to \"Midas\" invokes the mythological king known for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold, illustrating the dangers of excess and the moral pitfalls of greed.

Good write SB. Yes, I take away the roast dinners from KP, and give to others - more to Fido and myself, that is! Meanwhile, she has the sewage. Dunno why she complains. I\'m so generous in giving her Fido and my shares of it too! heehee.

Soren, I’ve seen how fear can twist into the very thing it tries to avoid. That turn inward, that realization at the end…it feels honest. No excuses, just recognition. That clarity is what gives it weight. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Soren, the propulsion of this is what grabbed me. “Physics spoke, forces poke” keeps it grounded, almost mechanical…then you open it wide with infinity and divinity. That final claim that free will is seen in all…that’s the real spark. Tight, thoughtful, and powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Oh this is interesting. Einstein said he hated authority and was surprised when he became the authority. I enjoyed this poem.it certainly made me think.Many of us turn into the people we avoided. Although it can be the opposite as well.I did everything I could do to be opposite to my father but hey thats just me. A wonderful piece

Yes, Mr Midas now lives in the Whitehouse screwing every country he can for his greater good.
Sadly, countries are now trading differently now, leaving the buffoon isolated.

You let science wrestle the sky until it tips its hat to something larger.
There’s grit in that last turn—where equations fray and mystery steps in.

Maths runs the world and nature is at the top of the tree doing what she does brilliantly.
Her greatest job will be rebuilding when the humans finally obliterate each other.

A thoughtful piece. I have never been able to choose between free will and determinism. Like the great American Philosopher Forrest Gump once said: \"I think both are happening at the same time.\" Clever how you linked it all to Physics. Wonderful
