Management, Drones And Energy Vampires In The Office

A poem that felt so dystopic yet it is so true that people have a natural tendency toward compliance and with a need to be seen as normal no one disagrees in front of anyone else even twisting obviously wrong perceptions into what is right just to comply. Good write

Sore Throat
Doggerel Dave said:

I completely recognise that, so well stated. I can only say that sore throats do come and do go without major incident (antibodies in my system worked overtime and did a double shift).

Sore Throat
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Shaun, this made me smile…there’s an easy, grounded honesty here. It feels like a thought caught mid-walk, half worry, half self-check, and that casual openness works. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

It\'s Too Much For Most
Tristan Robert Lange said:

That phrase “kill the spirit” anchors everything here, Shaun. It frames the poem as psychological and emotional as much as anything else, and it sets the stakes high from the start. Strong choice. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

I\'ll vote for social circumstances, uncertainty. disadvantage to be responsible for many, or most disturbances of the mind.
Your writes really dig into it all , Shaun.

Alien Nation
Doggerel Dave said:

Your pins get stronger and more pointed all the time, Shaun. I\'m for the commitment.
Now it might come as no surprise that I haven\'t got a favourite rapper, (oh please!) but I still think your last line is a beauty!

Alien Nation
orchidee said:

Yep, the one on the right looks a tad like.... we know who! lol.
With demons, I don\'t deny their existence, but tend to think some folk may be oppressed, even possessed by then, only as a last line of thought type of thing.

Alien Nation
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Wait, Mick Jagger was on Alien Nation? LOL! Just kidding, of course. (He does kinda draw that vibe in the pic, no?) A raw snapshot, Shaun. The poem reads as a collision of media, fear, belief, and burnout, and the lack of resolution feels intentional. It reflects how disorienting it can be to live inside constant noise. Strong, unfiltered work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

I Sold All My Jay-Z Albums (Part.2)
sorenbarrett said:

Clever and with a bouncy beat this poem rocks and is on top with a bit of humor as well as current social media referrals. Well done

I never had any of his albums to start with! lol.
Now an obvious question - did a certain alien make any albums before he went home? lol.

Monitoring Spirits
Tristan Robert Lange said:

This reminded me how paranoia and perception can blur when trust erodes. That feeling of unseen judgment hovering just out of reach is something many people recognize. You capture that atmosphere clearly. Well done, mate! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Moving Forward
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Shaun, this is about movement that isn’t triumphant, just necessary. Small steps, hidden damage, changed perspective, and a quiet sense of presence underneath it all. It’s restrained, reflective, and grounded. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Poetry For The Unemployed

Exploitation raw and hard - you have nailed it.

Poetry For The Unemployed
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Shaun, this resonates as a voice from inside the grind rather than commentary from above it. The refusal to romanticize unemployment while still naming dignity feels important and necessary. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
