The Lexicon of Shame
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this is sharp and perfectly brutal. Each authority offers a hollow version of shame, but the poem refuses to stop there. When the voice shifts to lived hunger, the word finally becomes real. You don’t explain it…you let it be seen. Powerful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Shame occurs when an individual grants another person the authority to diminish their self-worth and dictate their actions and expressions.
Your poem is powerful. Your research explores the multifaceted nature of shame and its pervasive impact on various aspects of life, affecting individuals from diverse backgrounds.

POSH or Posh
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Rebellion, this is sharp and unsettling in the best way. The poem builds tension through procedure and language, then lets the absurdity expose itself. That final whisper lands like a delayed shock. Fantastic...good to see you post again, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

POSH or Posh
Friendship said:
Well said. Your poem deals with themes of corporate life, employee dissatisfaction, the often hollow nature of performance metrics, and the implications of workplace harassment policies. It reflects the tension between managerial expectations and employee realities, underscoring feelings of compliance, disillusionment, and the pursuit of status (\"being posh\").

Taxation of Credulity
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Rebellion… this hits hard. The bite, the satire, the way you peel every system back to the same empty core… it lands. The ending question keeps echoing… because you’re right to ask it. Very, very well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Taxation of Credulity
Doggerel Dave said:
Seems the main theme here would be Taxation.... So one has to ask _ who taxes how much to whom, when why and to what effect...?
Answer: Do not tax wealth, but tax the most vulnerable.
If you detect some anger here, you may well be right.

True Civilisation

My friend… the way you move from celebration to the cold streets… from headlines to morgue drawers… it’s spare and brutally human. You hold a mirror up without preaching.Very strong piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

True Civilisation
Doggerel Dave said:
Could be resolved overnight. but is the result of political inaction. Or as a very well known poet here would have it, \"Politicians kill more people per year than than drugs, alcohol, malaria and great white sharks\"
The redefinition of \'civilisation\' really nailed it Many thanks

Ah we hide behind definitions but our morals are self evident. The life we value is that that affects ours. A most thought provoking poem and for that a fave

Amen to your comment! 🤣 My friend, this carries the weight of loss and the eerie tenderness of presence-in-absence…you wrote the shape of grief without ever naming it. Beautiful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

sorenbarrett said:
It is the paradox of time eternal where masculinity bows to femininity behind closed doors. It has happened from pauper to king and from the cave to the present. Some hide it better than others but it is not the presidents that rule but their wives. Well done

Reading this, I felt that familiar ache…how loss can make silence louder than sound, and how memory walks right beside us in the dark. Powerful poem, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem has a film noir quality that evokes the sense of loss quite vividly. It has a wonderful structure, as if it is being played out in real time before the reader. Beautifully done!

Now this can be taken two ways and I love that. Either it is one\'s lost love found or a siren seductively using the old smell to attract a new relationship. Well done

now that is a very loaded question - and a person like me who tries to say it as it is - but in the nicest way, without hurting, this is a real poser

Insecurity has always been in the wind. No game today to fill the pot, crop failure, war brewing, plundered, failing economy, replaced by younger workers. Now it is AI another form or machinery that has replaced the worker since the industrial revolution.
