Our beliefs sculpted by outcomes we ascribe to them. Imposing our values on a universe we choose to believe what we understand. A most mind provoking write Norman. It happens all too often that we feel that we know what is best, fair or should be and demand it of the universe. When it does not happen we no longer believe in the universe. A fave

BEHIND THE LIES
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a strong and timely piece, Norman. Powerful people manufacture enemies, inflame the crowd, and remain safely removed when everything erupts. Meanwhile, their followers inherit the punishment and everyone else inherits the hatred. Brilliantly done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Good write N.
So you saw through the lies of someone at the bus stop who said to you \'There\'ll be a bus along in 2 minutes\'. lol.

Thomas W Case said:
A stark, unflinching look at how easily pride can be twisted into division.
The rhythm carries a sense of marching inevitability, echoing the very mob mentality it critiques.

I love this write Norman. We think very much alike you and I. I wrote one with a similar message when this whole \'Raise The Colours\' bollocks first started. It\'s title is The Hijacked Flag.
All stars for this one. You\'ve hit the nail on the head.

A poem of political manipulation to achieve personal goals. Power wielded and the masses molded to the party call. A powerful piece, unfortunately all too true. Well done Norman

Dear Norman, you have truly got to the core of a great problem, I no longer live in the UK but I am up to date with politics and social care and corruption and the Brexit ongoings. I would say I fly flag high yet rightly pointed out, there are those who fly it with hatred fascism and racism. 🌹 A very important subject Sir. 🌹

Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a searing indictment, Norman! Capital, warfare, and political ambition operate as systems without nerves...they inflict agony while remaining incapable of feeling it. Meanwhile, actual human beings carry every wound. One heck of a poem, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem has deep political commentary where greed of capitalism breeds war that leads to world pain. A sad poem all too true. Well done

What a powerful indictment, Norman! You expose a religion that admires heaven while ignoring the suffering directly beneath it. Prayer without compassion becomes another barrier between the comfortable and the forgotten. One heck of a poem, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This for some reason reminds me of the scripture faith without works is dead. There is the necessity of doing something not just speaking to make things work. Well done

This speaks to me, my friend. There are moments when simply sitting with the years behind us feels almost sacred...not trying to recover them, just honoring that they were ours. Loved this, Norman. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THIRTEEN STEPS
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, those \"thirteen steps\" immediately caught my attention. They become so much more than stairs...they feel like the distance between the life everyone saw and the man who had almost nothing left to give. Beautifully done, Norman. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Friendship said:
Lovely written. Your poem explores the complexity of human emotions, particularly the pain of unexpressed love and the passage of time that separates the poet from the one they care for.
