I have to admit I\'m a bit of a realist and philosophical questions rarely cross my mind. A great write however and it certainly got me thinking.

This was a very good piece Soren. It reminds me of the moral hypothesis like the train where you have only the choice to switch the track. I myself like to think I could sacrifice myself but if it ever came down to that I’m not sure if I would be able to go through with it.

Well I defiantly would want the love of one person. No need to be remembered forever. I long to bring many closed loved on es back howewver I would not sacrifice others to do so. And iknowing all of someone secrets would be boring,. What would you have to talk about? Love your thought process here. Makes one think. Thanks for the great read.

Over the course of 40 years, I have been fortunate enough to receive unwavering devotion from one person, allowing me to understand the depth of being completely loved.
The use of rhetorical questions! Your poem revolves around the nature of human decisions and the moral dilemmas that accompany them. It explores the contrasts between love and legacy, sacrifice and self-preservation, and the complex relationship between happiness and suffering. The poet delves into existential questions about the significance of the choices we make in our lives and how they reflect our values and beliefs.

Tough one, blood is always thicker than water.
I think you would always save the child, mostly.
I suppose some choices are instant, and possibly life changing, some more selfish.
Humans will encounter all sorts of choices through their lives, and most will allow others to make that choice for them, probably regretting it in the process.
A real thinking poem this one.

I remember reading somewhere that the only free will we have is choice. Great write, Soren!

Good write SB. Well, to choose one person - KP\'s at the bottom of the list, so I could start from the bottom up. lol.
Is that a phrase we don\'t hear every day \'start from the bottom up\'. lol.

I think we are thinking alike Soren! If only people could be peaceful but alas there’s too much hate and greed in the world. You conveyed your point perfectly. Wonderful write Soren.

Wow! Soren, this carries real bite, my friend. The weatherman mask, the dams, the drought and flood existing at once…it all speaks to a system built on denial and diversion. Uncomfortable, necessary, and fiercely honest. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Brilliant allegorical poem, brimming with dark humour, about a certain Western despot, I guess...highly original and definitely another fave from me!

A compelling poem. Your poem revolves around themes of disillusionment, social injustice, and environmental neglect. The imagery of water, or lack thereof, serves as a metaphor for broader societal issues, highlighting how the powerful and wealthy often remain unaffected by crises that severely impact the marginalized and vulnerable. The poem critiques political leaders and institutions that promise change but fail to deliver, ultimately leaving the public in despair.

Glad that Denmark gave him a big chunk of Greenland, now Trumpland, and who knows, Ice in the ice might keep the ice men away from shooting poor women in their cars. Mind you, the people in Iceland must be shitting themselves, he did sort of get them mixed up.

Second bow, indeed. Powerful write, my friend. That image of the audience gone home while the speaker remains on the stage stays with me. It’s lonely, lucid, and deeply human…the moment after meaning has moved on. Well done, Soren. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well said. My friend. Your poem explores the fleeting nature of life and the inevitable passage of time. It reflects on the idea that life is like a performance, filled with moments of beauty and joy (the \"treasures\" and \"rainbow\") that can quickly dissolve, leaving the individual feeling lost and alone once the \"curtain calls\" have ended. The poet grapples with feelings of nostalgia and a sense of wandering after the festivities of life have concluded. Yet the metaphor of life as a stage, where moments of happiness and fulfillment are fleeting and often overshadowed by a sense of loss or emptiness, once the \'performance\' is over.
