It is only recent history that tells us of genocide and its cold cruelty how many millions in unrecorded past were subject to this tool that has carved our species and honed it into what it is today. A poignant write with feeling and that is what poetry is all about

This must be true, war makes monsters of us all, from either side of the armed dispute. Perhaps the source of that oft quoted saying that begins: “all is fair…”

Judging and punishing those who like others had no choice at all, Jaqueline and people like her were damned if they and damned if they didn`t. A powerful write with a very strong message

There is not much difference between extremes a communist, a fascist, Muslim, Christian, Jew Atheist we are all human with all its weaknesses and intolerances. A passionate write about a difficult time where weaknesses in the human garment showed the ugliness that lies beneath that thin garment called civilization. Powerful write

A poem of feeling. We don’t feel enough. Nothing better than feeling at one with nature, it lends itself to freedom. The books can wait. A time and place for everything. Much enjoyed David.

The dichotomy of thought and emotion displayed here in a soliloquy that is moving. This indeed seems more emotive than cognitive in nature and it appears that the author has achieve his goal. In this world it seems that there is less of the emotive and more of the logical that goes with technology in a modern world.

Right-O! I’ve got my own Underland as well, haven’t had to go there in a while though. But remember those days quite scarily… time has distanced those days… more than resonant, I could be both Daniel and Lachlan rolled into one. 🙏🏻🕊

A basic defense withdrawal into fantasy serves well our need to withdraw from stress whether child in years, mentally, or emotionally many of us use this devise. A psychological write.

What is good and what is bad is a matter of comparison and one can not make that until one has something to compare it against. Great story David

Fear and Pain
teardrop said:
I really, really really liked this poem. It makes me feel like I\'m not the only one. Fear and pain can be very lonely but does make good writings. Loved your metaphors. I hope you are feeling better.

A beautiful soliloquy which is one of my favorite but seldom used forms of poetry. Solemn in nature it pleads for consideration. Very nice and a fave

Feels right down home. Another great story with a philisophical moral. I do think beauty lasts longer than truth. A great read that was fun and mind provoking at the same time.
