forgive not forget
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Leauges deep this poem is, rewarding multiple readings. It presents a complex relationship between memory, pain, and forgiveness...and truthfully, I have never understood \"forgiving and forgetting\". It seems impossible for a human to forget, not matter how hard one tries. Besides, what good would forgetting do? How would one know not to treat others in that specific way if it never happened to them, etc. No, I do not believe forgetting it s a requirement for forgiveness. Perhaps, by forgetting, one means not bringing it up over and over or dwelling on it, but that really is not forgetting, it\'s just choosing to shelve or ignore. Anywho, I digress. Philosophically, what does happen to our forgiveness when we die? The concept of fragmentation really resonates in the physical, emotional, psychological sense. We die and then the remants of those times that forgiveness was needed are in the memories of those still living. Only in from a theological/faith perspective can we begin to conceive of forgiveness going anywhere beyond our physical lives. All of this to say, you\'ve crafted a wonderful poem here, my friend, that has such depth I cannot wait to see what\'s next in the probable trilogy or more. 🖤🐦⬛🙏

Well written,Your poem explores the themes of loss, memory, and the inability to forgive oneself and others. It reflects on the idea that our experiences—especially painful ones—leave lasting imprints on our lives, but ultimately, these memories will fade when we are gone.

The depths of this poem requires multiple readings and time to digest its meaning. There is a sense of emotive conceptualization that goes with this poem. It is hard to describe but a deja vu, I have been here before feel. Very nicely worded.

I love a good Nocturne, such as the one you provided a video for by Chopin, and I love a good sunset and evening. This poem, for me, was stunning. Well done, my friend, well done! 🌹👏

Your Poem reads as a \'Dystopian\' Novel of the Past. Was it \'Hal\' in 2001 a Space Odyssey taking over? The fact that a lot of the Technical Jargon you mentioned I didn\'t understand makes me sleep with the Light on tonight: Frightening!
Have \'Love is in the Air\' in my Phone: Great Song.

Excellent poem, arqios! Technology has always been both our greatest achievement to our biggest downfall. What I love about this poem is that it shows the people behind the technology. We forget that. Now, are all of those people in it for the best interest of society, or are they in it for profit. That\'s the question, and it\'s not a new one! The average programmer, just doing their job faithfully, no doubt. The systemic institution they work for, with their corporate think and, more than likely, greed???? This poem has lots of teeth because it can be read straight as poem about the humanity behind code, it could be read as a a sort of love story between programmers, and it also provokes thought about these devices that shape our lives and how much control we inevitably allow other people (aka corporations) have over us. This poem gets a major fave from me for all of those reasons and more. Wonderful job, my friend! 🙏🐦⬛🖤

A in vivo metaphor in this poem. This is the first time that I have heard this topic presented in this manner. Man vs machine. Nicely worked out in words.
