There are risks when you upset existing power structures and the risks seem directly proportional to the amount of power and money involved. Nicely written

Good write SM.
We maybe need not give it up altogether, though I\'m about 98% teetotal anyway. I even dilute some fizzy drinks as they give me terrible \'bends\'. lol.

A good write on the aspect of abstaining from alcohol. Nicely written in rhyme it flows well like the drink.

Shaun, this carries real strength. There’s no drama in it…just honesty and forward motion. “6 months removed” feels grounded and earned. That closing line reads like clarity after a long internal fight. Respect, my friend. And yes, I can absolutely and 💯 relate with this. Thanks for writing it, my friend.2 years sober for me. Glad we\'re both on this side of that struggle, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Also a health warning....evidently. A Public Service Announcement.
I must promise myself to stick with water coffee and alcohol.
Thanks for the information.

Shaun, this is playful and sharp in its own lane. The build from colors to cleansing sets up the punchline perfectly, and “Or you\'ll have to go the toilet quick, quick, quick.” lands with that quick-fire rhythm you’ve built. It’s light, humorous, and self-aware. Good stuff, mate. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Not A Religious Fanatic
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Shaun, I appreciate when someone can explore belief without sliding into alarmism. There’s curiosity here rather than fear. It reads like someone thinking out loud but enjoying the ride. That tone keeps it engaging, well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
P.S. Love the image you paired with it. Heavenly images have to get cooler to compete...they\'re lagging! 🤣 #JustSsying

A fun and fanciful poem that makes me wonder in this politically correct world if they would not file a hate crime case and get reparations for blatant discrimination, prejudice and hate mongering. Nicely written

A Pyramid Prison
Poetic Licence said:
I found this quite thought provoking, a pyramid prison implies we are all just being sold a jail cell, which is possible. Atrocities should be punished but in this world it appears to just gain the perpetrators more power and control, going unchallenged. Those who side with these people should have tarnished souls, but will they have regret , I am not sure they would, enjoyed the read

I found an interesting write, they every dog has it\'s day, maybe we have had ours and ballsed it up royally, so now it\'s the machines turn to finish what we started, a frightening world we live in on many levels, enjoyed the read

Living On The Wrong Side Of Time?
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Shaun, this reads like a cultural inventory that crescendos into metaphysics. The rhyme keeps it playful, but the closing question opens something deeper. Philosophically, what even is “the wrong side”? If time is linear, cyclical, or even held outside itself by God, perhaps no side is wrong…only inhabited. That tension gives the piece weight beyond the humor. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A question posed and valid too. These times of rapid change are frightening when we can only guess the outcome. With AI that can do better what any person can do why try anymore, just sit back and watch. Will we fall into detached indifference? A good write

A Pyramid Prison
Paul Bell said:
I\'ve always noticed that people who sacrifice things, never sacrifice themselves.
Assume sacrificing gives them some sort of deranged power they covet.

A Pyramid Prison
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Shaun, this is confrontational in a purposeful way. The pyramid metaphor frames the critique, and the invocation of darker symbols pushes it into spiritual territory. It’s less about shock and more about consequence. “Dealing with demons leaves a soul tarnished and with regret.” closes it with gravity. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Touloungeaphobia
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Shaun, this rides the line between parody and confession. The jabs, the tongue imagery, the mock outrage…then suddenly that final prayer. “God please wash away bad energy, we need a miracle, alright!” shifts it from sarcasm to something human. And for the record…I love that Stones album. It was total provocation and pageantry...not pentagrams. As for your poem, bold, funny, and layered, my friend. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Preach Forgiveness
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Shaun, this carries real urgency. The rhyme drives it forward like you’re pushing through something heavy. “Spiritual warfare, armour got a dent” lands with grit…it feels lived, not just said. There’s tension here that doesn’t pretend to be polished. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Preach Forgiveness
sorenbarrett said:
Such an interesting concept in the first lines where it is emphasized that any errors or even procrastination can be forgiven. The concept that repentance redeems all errors makes it so easy to say to hell with today I\'ll do it tomorrow. Is that the dent in spiritual armor? A most interesting write
