A different kind of read and one that echoes my concerns regarding the most incompetant and narcissistic incumbent in the western world. have a great fear that this kind of politics will infiltrate across many borders unless it can be called to account as a matter of urgency.

Very poetically written, I fear that any president who hasn\'t reached his goals for his voters, like on economy and industry and the shameful Epstein files which he is clearly part of, will literally do anything to steer away from the facts , like finishing wars in 24 hours, which he couldn\'t do, the fact is he shouldn\'t have ever been allowed to be the President of the United states of America. Playing dumb when you are the most powerful man in the world is a simple task for this guy. 😢 Oh sorrenbarret when will it all become better?

so what is filtered and comes through is truly beautiful and memorable..but do not let the others fade with the mist of time, capture them before they are gone

I\'ve been seeing all this from Europe, if we except this when does it end and how far do they go? I\'m so miserable about it all, he was a nurse from a Hospital, America isn\'t democratic at all anymore freedom of speech gone, rights gone, I cannot believe I see this, it\'s Trumps channel the world is watching, and it\'s not Hollywood quality. I\'m sad for the young. 🌹

This hits like a blunt report filed by the heart—no poetry-padding, just impact and aftermath.
Gritty, necessary work that refuses comfort and forces the reader to stand where the bodies are.

At three I stopped to maniacally laugh and expected lightning and thunder...then I realized that was the title, and not Sesame Street! LOL! Sorry, I couldn\'t resist! My silliness aside, Soren, this is a stark reckoning. The repetition, the escalation, the absence of evidence or consequence…it all builds toward the same conclusion. When power answers only to itself, justice becomes theater. This poem names that without flinching. Powerful and necessary, my friend!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

How simple things used to be. This poem has such a deep nostalgic feel to it. When I was younger, I used to go over to my cousin’s farm. We had built a tire swing and we would spend hours outside. It’s so sad to see how we went from that to having our face in front of a screen every day. There’s a park near my house and every time I take a walk around it, I’ve noticed that I see less and less children playing. They might be at school but most are probably at home in front of electronics. We’ve taken the natural simplicity away from life. Hang on to what you have Soren, it’s very special. Great work.

Magnificently crafted! Your poem beautifully captures the essence of a simpler, more authentic way of life, radiating a profound appreciation for nature\'s splendor, warm community bonds, and timeless traditional values. It juxtaposes the allure of modern conveniences and commercialism with the sublime joys of a rustic lifestyle. The poet skillfully highlights the quintessential elements of rural life, including the bounty of homegrown food, heartwarming community interactions, and a deep, soulful connection to nature. It powerfully emphasizes the extraordinary pleasures found in simplicity and the paramount importance of nurturing personal relationships over the ephemeral allure of technology and consumerism. Yet, the purpose of your poem soars as a vibrant celebration of a way of life that prioritizes meaningful personal connections, nature\'s wisdom, and simplicity over the dizzying distractions and complexities of modern technology and consumer culture. It stands as a profound critique of modernity while passionately advocating for a return to life\'s simpler, richer pleasures.

Soren, this is excellent, my friend. Food, land, neighbors, and time are all reclaimed on your own terms. The absence of convenience doesn’t feel like loss…it feels like clarity. A solid, affirming piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Good write, Sorenbarrett. Coming from town with some supplies to our farm, my grandfather would point out, \"This is as far as the electricity goes,\" as we passed the last pole miles from the farm, with water fetched from a spring and no indoor plumbing. I chose to poop from a tree, what with the spiders and all eager to catch gnats attracted to a hole full of shit.

There are similarities between this poem and \"The Prisoner of Chillon\" by Byron (1788-1824).

Freedom in chains
Soman Ragavan said:
This poem resembles the plight many people feel. It is apparent freedom, but we are really in chains, invisible chains. Even the internet has been weaponized to track people, to store what they have written. It is this tendency of Man to imprison others.

It reflects on how simple life can be, if one were to try. I am unsure if I am interpreting it the best it can be, but it reminds one of how comfortable older ways can be.

Sounds idyllic, lost to nature and loving it.
Though I feel you\'re missing out. So I\'m sending a few chaps who sell insurance, double glazing, fix your roof, oh, and wait for it, the Jehovah\'s will pop by for a little chat.
