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!\"

Wow this sure does shine a light on our ancestors.I guess we all live in shame really.You don\'t have to go far back to see genocide and murder.Its happening as we speak in Gaza and Ukraine.I wish I had an answer.I remember being horrified by the genocide of the Tasmanian aborigines. Powerful and important poem

A parent\'s burden
Friendship said:
Well written Soren,Yes we do reject them,,,,,,,,,,,My father once stated that, as a parent, one experiences each child\'s pain more profoundly than their own, which underscores the emotional complexity and depth of parental investment in their children\'s lives and the challenges they encounter. Following the incidents that transpired many years ago, I observed a profound transformation in my parents\' demeanor, which was reflected in their emotional expression, conveying an unspoken awareness that I had undergone a significant change. This poignant dynamic illustrates a bond that transcends mere biological ties, emphasizing feelings of love, concern, and helplessness in the face of their child\'s challenges. Essentially, my actions had a profound impact on my parents, inducing feelings of shame and prompting them to relocate me 1,640 miles away, providing me with a residence.

Well crafted, Soren, Your poem is about control! Your poem explores the complex nature of dependency and independence in relationships, particularly between a caregiver and a dependent individual. It highlights the tension between nurturing and suffocating, illustrating how over-reliance can lead to a struggle for autonomy. The concluding imagery suggests the dangers of unmonitored freedom and the potential consequences of emotional neglect. Metaphor, The \"iron glove\" symbolizes harsh control, while the \"bubble of reliance\" represents a false sense of security. Soren, Your poem could be interpreted as a reflection of the speaker\'s observations or experiences related to dependency in relationships, possibly informed by personal or societal perspectives. encouraging readers to reflect on their own relationships and the potential consequences of dependency. It serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of fostering independence alongside care.

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. 🙏🏻🕊

Mourning Doves
Friendship said:
Lovely written, Soren, Your poem is rich and evocative, creating vivid imagery that draws me as the reader into the scene. Words like \"chilling,\" \"bare,\" \"mourn,\" and \"frigid\" evoke a sense of coldness and desolation, while terms like \"cuddle,\" \"caress,\" and \"comforter\" highlight the warmth and intimacy shared between the doves. Your poem revolves around themes of companionship, vulnerability, and the harshness of nature. It portrays the bond between two mourning doves as they seek warmth and solace amidst the cold and desolation of winter. The subject matter reflects on the fragility of life and the inevitable threats that come with it, emphasizing both the tenderness of their relationship and the looming presence of danger.

Mass hysteria
Friendship said:
This poem is very deep and dark, yet a little disturbing. Soren, Your poem explores the themes of destruction and transformation as prerequisites for social change, suggesting that dismantling existing structures, even functional ones, is necessary to address societal issues. The imagery of violence and sacrifice represents the harsh realities of change and the moral ambiguities involved in challenging the status quo. References to mythological figures like Charon, the ferryman of the dead, and the butcher evoke a sense of inevitability and darkness surrounding the process of change.

Soliloquy of courage, honesty and forgiveness
Friendship said:
Wow a very powerful poem, Soren, Forgiveness seems to be a complex word to comprehend at times! Your poem centers around the theme of self-honesty and the courage required to confront one\'s true self. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging one\'s flaws, taking responsibility for them, and the liberating power of forgiveness. Ultimately, it advocates for authenticity, suggesting that one must be true to oneself to foster genuine relationships with others. the psychological and emotional struggles of self-acceptance, the perils of self-deception, and the transformative power of forgiveness. It reflects on the internal battle one faces when confronting personal inadequacies and the importance of owning one\'s truth. Yet Your poem serves as a call to action, encouraging readers to confront their own truths, embrace their flaws, and find freedom through self-forgiveness. It aims to inspire courage in the pursuit of self-honesty and authenticity.
