The onset of a maggoty process, I’m afraid… prevention is always more effective than curative measures… 🙏🏻

I\'d say this is about greed, I see the generosity of the peaceful narrator acceptance of what is going on, knowing he cannot change it, he reflects on what good he can get from the bad situation. I would go as far to say this could also be about politics. But who am I to say. 🌹 Ah yes lots to munch on. 🌹

Beautiful, I guess even in dementia the mind has the key, and yet one is sadly lost to oneself. Thanks for a stimulating read

At first read, this comes off as a poem about empathy and compassion; however, some clues might alter that initial reading. Words such as pity and weapon. The lines: “no one can ignore / This a weapon of the mind refined / Treating the enemy as one below, disarming the hardest blow / Now shrunken the largest foe, disemboweled their ego”, are further evidence that this is someone who is using pity, compassion and empathy against others as weapon, perhaps utilizing it as a way of building themselves up why cutting others down. So, while this initially sounds like a sincerely compassionate person, he/she turns out to be a narcissist, weaponizing those otherwise good things against others for their own gain. Well done on this, my friend. A multi-layered and rewarding read. ❤️🙏 I apologize for my absence for the last couple of days. Been hit hard with a nasty cold. Finally, I feel somewhat alive again! LOL!

At times when one has a clear advantage, pity per se is indeed the most welcome and ultimate gift .. however, those that use it as a weapon will ultimately lose that advantage on what will become an uneven playing field .. this feels like something that is being played out write now .. and I note not a drop of ink wasted ..

I\'m a grand believer that some thrive on pity, I myself am not a fan of those sorts, I am a grand believer of justice ⚖️ and ego well, you know me well enough to know that\'s a thing I really dislike, I want to show you a line I love more but in this case it\'s every line, so powerful and indeed is the very reason I myself do not believe in God. Kudos, you just interpreted my own thoughts of today. 🤗 🌹

The poet’s words fall
as tear drops
Whatever horrors befall this earth, there will always be poets around who will record it with their own tears. There’s going to be alot of rain before the sun comes out.
Powerful write. Thought provoking.

There is so much here to ponder and dwell on .. but for me, perhaps the most encouraging and enlightening thing is that so many of us who write on a regular basis imagine the same and such similar things and variously weave them into our daily offerings.. Note to self go check on box of loose photos asap .. N
