Giving up comes to mind with this poem. I hear disillusion, disgust and just being plain tired in this poem set in rhyme. Nicely done

The Wistful View of The Great Desecration.

A most interesting point of view. From that perspective yes the strongest Love wins and does take by force resistance is futile. It does seem to be the ultimate weapon and takes by its force even the unwilling. This change in perspective redefines the common view. Thank you for showing a different perspective to this overused poetic term.

Too much negativity in the world narrows down a typical person’s thought processing. Wonder where his Lotto share went?

Poor Jimmy. He did the right thing. He would have felt even worse if she had died infront of him. He is still a hero in my book and she needs serious help. Much enjoyed story David.

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

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.
