\'I will find you there.
Not by facts or proofs or sight—
They cannot compare.\'
yeah, this hit home dear poet
thanks for sharing
(I fear
when we walked away
from religion\'s autocratic, hypocrisy
sadly
we left behind, something essential
to the success of humanity
the ability, to believe in the intangible
and so, now
we\'re too science and fact, deprived
of our capacity
to imagine, dream and Hope...)

although short I read a lot into it, I believe in connecting with someone so strong you do not need anything else

Complaining is a wonderful source of poetry, it’s one of the Muse’s myriad facets, a most affective one as well. Thanks for sharing. /Rik.

Breaking the Fall
L. B. Mek said:
anyone with a thread of creativity
in their day to day lives
needs to heed, this distilled
inked, awareness...
\'we are all, but momentary vassals
of our imagination\'s, inspirations
trying to create
a formulaic systemised, machine
warped, version
of our innate artistry, is a pathetic
regression
of that, which gifts us
so much meaningful joy
and such an empowering, sense of self...\'
(thanks for sharing, dear Poet
I truly found your words
so liberating
and your wisdom\'s, resolve
so life-affirmingly
empowering!)

Silence of most vital things
Many and all us should learn.
In not so doing, we hurl
No butter for us to churn;
A great big butter up it is
On nothing can we depend,
seeking elusive volatile rapture,
Not a brow or nose extend
To sound wisdom, prudent view,
Diabolical minions dance in fun.
The worst is staring us in the face
A midday\'s sun, its shadow\'s grace.

\'doddery eyes, witnessing scenes
slippery slick, with crimson tears
shuffle along
as ambition\'s ghosts hover, darkening
the tint, of our shadows..\'
(a great shorty, you emoted so much
in such few words, thanks for sharing
and inspiring my feeble poetic reply, dear poet)

chair, maybe?
get you some good back support..
lol
(sorry I couldn\'t resist
but yes, I too - know
of that walled-in feeling, suffocating
while thriving and achieving)
try to find \'Your\' balance
between aiming for success, in life
and having time to enjoy
those free, gifts of life
that we\'re often, too busy
to recognise..
stay strong dear poet

\'Cause they run with one Yeezy?\'
(is it wrong, when I first read this line
in my head, I had an image
of a crowd, running
with a single shoe of yeezy\'s - on
kinda shuffling along, like
mindless herd, zombies
but, their Insta\'s
capture their good side, not
that other side, with
holes in socks
and behind them, is a trail of mud
as long
as their vanity\'s, entangling
chains...)
great read, insightfully witty commentary
thanks for sharing, dear poet

Okay this kinda felt like a strange sense of a lack of sympathy with the remorse line but I feel there\'s something deeper. Really well done though.

L. B. Mek said:
yes, confusing
not sure if we\'re watching
history\'s mistakes being repeated
or getting a foreshadowing glimpse
of what our children\'s futures, entail
maybe even both, simultaneously
...
so yeah, this don\'t make sense to me, either
hela confusing! do we run away
from a past
or slow down, to distance
from that ill-destined, devastation
we\'re galloping towards...

Yes. Sometimes life will become \"leaner.\" I love the images you present like \"pity pot,\" quite creative. You did great with the imagery and the message was understood. But despite the lows in life, we have to follow your advice \"cherish what [we]\'ve got.\"

Hey ModB - A bit late I know, but better late.......
The links you make between consumption, patriotism as diversion (misdirection?) is well made.

When you\'ve got the nation indoors
And you need to hear some applause
There\'s seldom a thing more hearty
Than a Boris lockdown party.

a really well weaved metaphor
and I enjoyed the pacing your punctuation, dictated
helped me to concentrate on your wording
a little more and made the whole
reading experience, subtly distinct..
