Mutley Ravishes said:
I recall Steiner saying that the task of the Europeans in this era was to develop the individual \"I.\" Of course, that comes at a price. I guess we can clearly see this dynamic in America where there are a wealth of opportunities for individuals from all corners of the globe (both \"materially,\" and \"spiritually\") and also the destruction of the Native peoples, slavery and so on. To take this even further, we could ask ourselves just why did those folks experience genocide and slavery? Is it the law of cause and effect? If that is the case then of course it doesn\'t justify what happened. I don\'t pretend to know the answers to these questions, but asking them opens up new vistas. Well, for me anyways.
Great write, Soren

This poem says a lot about a lot of things. It reaches into our nationalistic cultures since the end of WWII most countries of the world are experiencing. Walls and borders. Tariffs and wars. How it effects the individual in all of this is examined. Great write.

There is much in our history to be ashamed of, plenty of carnage and sadly it continues today. Your last stanza is powerfully delivered. A thought provoking poem. Our politicians certainly don’t help the situation and history has a habit of repeating itself.

It is a shame that real history is not taught in schools anymore, the amount of people who do not the true of where they live is astonishing in this day and age, a great write around the dark side of human history

There is much injustice in this world. Some nations are, or have been, more guilty than others - mostly the white empire builders, past and present! Some prominent world leaders claim to be peacemakers right now, but as Bob Dylan said, \"Sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace!\"

Reminds me of the Conor Clapton toddler tragedy… “Tears in Heaven” but on the reverse side the iron grip that ruins people for life- far too many resulting crimes against humanity demonstrate this. 🙏🏻🕊
