Une pensée effrayante aléatoire
L. B. Mek said:

very intimate and so true
realising the pain of loss
we would cause those close
to us
is a big anchor to our own life
itself..

The Pain of Noise
Parisab said:

Your poem delivers its message very clearly. Let the beautiful and rich music of your city energize you and to tune out the noise.

What I, as a young author, know about 9/11
Pop64 said:

My father survived WWII in the Battle of the Bulge. I never knew what he saw until the morning of 9-11. Not that I saw what my father saw, but through my eyes, I was not only a part of personally being there and surviving, but I witnessed tragedy of the worst kind, continued dreaming of the days events, but then witnessed hope through unity. I only hope, through all the tragedies in this world, that people can learn to unify indefinitely, instead of just for a moment, because that\'s the crime, it seems unity is but for a moment. Your write obviously inspired my comment, and as a writer, that\'s the result you should be proud of, eliciting a response. Well done.

Tragic, terrifying. Innocent people die in war.

factually concise, but
wise poet
it\'s beyond the facts, that date
is remembered for
it is the day, the entire world realised
Humanity
is its own greatest threat
a threat, that can never be conquered
it is the sheer horror of watching people dangle from collapsing buildings
it is the feeling of complete impotency
at witnessing such a catastrophic tragedy
and knowing, someday
something far worse
will be witnessed by a generation
who
only know the facts about this date
not the generational trauma it planted
in billions of shattered hearts
(and I, am not even an American
citizen
nor have I lost anyone to that date
I just watched it unfold
on a screen)
may you never \'know\' about 9/11
or anything similar to it

A Favor for Vintrice
L. B. Mek said:

so true
clean suite leaving
with dirty underwear thoughts
smiles hiding bleeding gums
so few, are as we thought
they would be, this is why
modernity\'s plastic aesthetic
has made a shambles
of our democracy
what to trust, when they\'re all
A.I. designed
to circumvent our danger signs...
(brilliant wisdom, thank you for sharing)
I read and try to heed, dear poet
