WHEN DID THE PREY BECOME THE ONE TO BLAME?
Soman Ragavan said:

My comments on the poem “When did the prey become the one to blame ?” by Cerry.
This reminds us of one of the fables from the French writer La Fontaine (1621-1695), about the wolf who attacked a lamb who was drinking downstream, accusing it of muddying the water. The wolf itself was drinking UPSTREAM. The prey became the one to blame…

Perhaps we could use the time we have to try to help others in their journey
It\'s in giving we receive most
Thoroughly enjoyed
See you at the end

WHEN YOU GET \"OLDER\"
somethingdeep said:

I agree with your thought on this. Even if someone younger has problems that are\'t the end of the world as an adult it is still not right to dismiss them. It just shows a lack of understaning. Which doesn\'t really scream maturity

IF YOU COULD MEET YOUR YOUNG SELF WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
L. B. Mek said:

a very relatable theme
written really well, thank you
(personally I think, I would say
something encouraging, but
as like then, even now
I wouldn\'t know how to word it
for it to stand out
above, everything else I heard
back then
and foolishly, chose to ignore...)

THE CORNER OF COMFORT....
Bobby O said:

I think it’s understandable to seek or revisit that place and while I detect a touch of resignation , I propose instead, it may be just a regrouping to gather the strength to bounce back w vigor ? Nice piece. Nice read

UNTITLED...
mvvenkataraman said:

Out of 800 Billion people in the world,
You are standing as the only one,
We must love ourselves deeply,
Others will love us for money
Or our body for sheer lust,
Love yourself deeply please,
Take care of your health wisely,
Dress neatly and appealingly,
You will have many well-wishers
And think of them and feel happy,
Your mom and dad and friends
Are always there to love you,
When I was in my tenth standard,
Two elderly boy commented adversely
About my cheeks as hollow,
I became a psychological wreck,
I artificially tried to cover it,
Later I came to know clearly
That Westerners had such a cheek
And call it stylishly as angular cheeks,
After that I never bothered about my cheeks,
Till today, my cheeks aren\'t chubby,
As this is a decent site
I didn\'t mention certain things,
Those two elderly boys observed
Which made me fear a lot,
What they said is suppressed by me,
As I must respect the site always,
Be cheerful dear friend, be happy!

I\'M BLACK...IS THAT SO WRONG?
Rocky Lagou said:

Omg this is fu$%ing LEGENDARY!!!
Thank you for this poem and declaration and grievance and prayer!
Human rights is pivotal for me, that\'s why most of my poems center on it, and this poem is so forthright and interrogative.
Just know that your are loved, regardless of the color of your skin.
Black people are some of the realest and kindest people I have ever met!
Amen and hallelujah to this message for equality!

In my many years of life I have treated all with respect no matter what colour, creed or sexuality. What matters is what is inside each person that comes out for others to see.
I do hope all will be good for you in your life.
