\"Everything happens for a reason\" Yeah, right.
Doggerel Dave said:
Ok - let\'s be clear. I\'m not a stalker. Just after our recent exchanges I felt I\'d like to suss you out a little. Not finished yet, you\'ve got rather a large back catalogue...
The phrase \'everything happens for a reason\' is trite and means nothing, yet I\'ve heard it many times myself. \'Everything happens at random (wrong place, wrong time) has more meaning, but still got a way to go.
What happened when you were ten, I don\'t want to go there, but am deeply sad and sorry.

A day of violence
Keeter C said:
I used to believe people were basically good then watch four people not only not lift a finger to help an innocent girl bleeding out but turn to face away not wanting to see or be inconvenienced.
Not to be preaching but reminds me reprobate mind and no natural affection spoken of. Nice write.

Justified as escapism, but from what is being escaped? Rationality too hard to cope with?
A big issue which needs regular airing. Thanks.

Dearest π₯·, this lands with weight ...he aliens on screen, the kids with guns, the way entertainment numbs us to violence. And that ending alliteration seals it: weβve mistaken bullets for answers to disagreement. Honest, sharp, and true...tragic. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬ Powerful and needed poem.

A great poem with meaning. Violent video games, movies, TV shows, violence in music desensitized most can handle it but a few have little restraints and no access to mental health, even if they did they would not go. Those that do go few listen or change. A sad world it is. Good write very well done

Yes, many a time I thought, I\'d love to shoot that clown.
Then I realised, the clown is actually the most sensible person out there.
Still, in these conflicting times, we have to shoot someone, cos obscene language can get you jailed in Britain.

Doggerel Dave said:
Perhaps the gun should not have been available for someone to pick up?
Big irony there actually, as reports have it that the shot target extolled the virtues of the second amendment, suggesting that a few may have to die in order to ensure its continued enshrinement:
\"I think it\'s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.\"

A hot topic when a girl has her throat cut on a train and no one reacts, a man is shot for speaking his mind, a day celebrated when thousands lost their lives from a terrorist attack. School shootings over bullying. When mental health is not available for those that need it and the embers of hate are fanned by media. No one knows what to believe so they believe nothing and do nothing. A good write NinjaGirl

A Piece of Paper
Friendship said:
OMG, well written, poem \"A Piece of Paper\" revolves around the concept of mistakes and the often humorous yet chaotic consequences that can arise from them. It personifies a piece of paper, illustrating how a small error (spilling ink) can lead to increasingly disastrous outcomes, ultimately suggesting that some mistakes are better left unaddressed or that they might spiral out of control.

A series of consequences that remind me of childhood and many such actions that lead from one mistake to another getting each time worse. A most fun read and it well could be a metaphor. Nicely done

Straight from the heart. It really spoke the words. That\'s what I call poetey.
Perhaps it\'s my limitation that I can\'t understand euphemistic excusion into the void of metaphorical metaphores. Sorry for the whinging.

π₯·, this is raw and powerful. Moving from the little girl to the teen to yourself now, you give voice to pain that too often stays hidden...and that close, βI will speak loud,β lands with strength for so many. Beautifully done, my friend. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬ You are most courageous and definitely a great role model in my eyes!
