This kind of reminds me of a true occurrence outside a local pub in a town where I lived, a few years ago. A man was walking by when he saw another man beating up a woman, right outside the pub! The passer-by tried to stop the beating, but he was turned on viciously, by the man who had attacked the woman! The woman then joined in the attack on the passer-by, screaming, \"Mind your own business! This is a family argument, nothing to do with you!\" The poor passer-by suffered a broken jaw, plus other injuries, and spent several days in hospital! What a price to pay, for simply trying to stop a woman from being attacked!

Thought provoking as a metaphor. We seldom know the consequences of our actions. Our best intentions can go wrong. We are not responsible for the unknown but we often hold ourselves so after the fact. Great story

A dark joke from me - I tried to dive in front of a train to end it all, but the train was cancelled. Doh! (heehee).

Is there mind reading or coincidences afoot!? Was thinking for several days of sugar and salt, and how these are the primary nutritional substances in daily intake… and now a poem to serve as catalyst and amplifier 🙏🏻🕊

A child\'s nursery rhyme so nicely composed it rings of innocence and a parent\'s warmth in singing their child to sleep. Very nice

When neglected one must create one\'s own world and why not a peaceful one? I think that there may be a bit of this boy in all of us. Lovely write.

The JJJ.
Friendship said:
David Your, poem presents a satirical and absurd depiction of discriminatory attitudes towards people with green eyes, using the fictional Junior Justice Junction (JJJ) led by a character named Jessy as a vehicle for this commentary. It highlights themes of exclusion, fanaticism, and the irrational nature of prejudice.

Sadly this is a sign of the times. People being singled out for the way they look, their religion, their politics and so much more. And we have seen the catastrophic effects in our history. A thought provoking write David.

The repetition works so well here in this lyrical write. The content is sad and betrayal is nothing but absolute heartbreak. Nicely composed David.

This sounds like a dark song that speaks of betrayal and loss. Sad and tragic. A ballad perhaps

I was the guy who didn\'t understand Russian Roulette. I loaded the gun with bullets EXCEPT for one chamber. Doh! lol.

I remember well that act. It has become iconic and stands as an image of protest in its irony of violence against violence fighting fire with fire. A wonderful write of an act not to be forgotten.

Such an act of violence against himself and yet Buddhists are peace loving and non violent. His mind must have been in turmoil. I hope he has found his peace. Finely penned David. Quite a thought provoking write. Have a good Tuesday. .
