And then you have the case of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, shot down over eastern Ukraine in July 2014. Now despite a high profile company of bull shitters (and I mean high profile - Governments et al - research it for yourselves) placing the blame squarely on Russia (BTW I don’t believe Russia should be at war with Ukraine), the simple fact is that at that time, the place where MH17 was shot down was a known theatre of war. Should never have been there in the first place.
A very committed piece yours – good to see.

Yes, all those planes might be mechanically sound, but that doesn\'t mean they\'re softwear sound.
You don\'t get many chances in a plane full of technology. I know they say the fuel swithches have to be swithched off manually, but thay would say that if it was a softwear problem.

Well written. Your poem revolves around the tragic consequences of corporate negligence and the human cost of prioritizing business interests over safety. It reflects on the disconnect between the financial motives of those in power and the devastating impact on individuals\' lives, particularly in the context of an aviation disaster.

Where there is demand there is business. In this world flight seems the only answer to people\'s demand to travel. When one person holds many lives in their hands there is always an opportunity to display discontent and in the whole process there is always those that profit. Business must go on. A poem of madness on all levels

It is amazing how a bill can cure you, but later inflict a heart attack when the bill sinks in.
In saying that, I once googled an ingrown toenail, the Black Death turned up, and I had hours to live.

Great job, my friend. This poem weaponizes form and tone to expose corruption as treatment. Diagnosis, cure, and cost collapse into one system that produces compliance. It’s sharp, controlled, and deeply unsettling. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is most interesting and a method I have used. It is a viable treatment for various patients with various symptoms that are under their control should they wish to use it. Verify that the patient is honest first then play up the cure and get them to commit (PT Barnum would be helpful) The first time the symptom occurs it cost them only a penny the next two cents and doubling each time they are to bring the money with them for the therapist next visit.

This lands hard, my friend. It’s darkly funny and deeply unsettling at the same time…truth as something corrosive rather than liberating. That inversion really works. Another brilliant poem, dear poet. Keep them coming! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Truth with no brakes is a hell of a ride, and you show exactly how honesty turns feral once it leaves theory and hits real lives.
Darkly funny, sharp as broken glass—this poem knows freedom isn’t clean, and sometimes the bill comes due immediately.

‘The truth shall set you free’ - if there’s one set of words in the bible which would get an old unbeliever’s pulse racing, then you’ve found it! The question then becomes, what to do with this newfound knowledge? You have had a red hot and very interesting go…..however there may, of necessity, be other solutions…..
Very much enjoyed this.

The truth of the matter is, that one had to pay attention in this parable and once one did it became evident that a good lie is always safer than the truth. A fun read my friend

The Lexicon of Shame
Thomas W Case said:
This lands like a series of hard, quiet punches—shame laid bare through everyone’s eyes but your own.
I like how it keeps its feet in the grit and still makes you feel for every voice; tough, honest, and quietly devastating.

Queen Democracy
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Rebellion, this is satire with poise, which I absolutely love. Democracy appears radiant and approachable, yet the refusal to release control exposes the deeper contradiction. The final reply reframes desire into accountability, and that shift is where the poem really shines. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Now that is a metaphor well understood and seductively written. A tease you might say where what is desired and dreamed of is thwarted by its own structure and winds of fortune. Loved it

The Sovereign\'s Appetite
Doggerel Dave said:
And so it came to pass - someone voted for in what is laughingly called democratic elections becomes what is laughingly called President and transmutates itself into King.
And we all have witnessed what happens then: \'Shit!\' cries the King and all his loyal subjects strain with all their might.... (an oldie but relevant !)

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. The poet addresses personal, social, and moral dimensions of shame, illustrating how it manifests in diverse contexts—ranging from personal failure to societal expectations, poverty, and ethical dilemmas.

POSH or Posh

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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

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\").

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.
