The pristine beauty of this pretty number is the fact of the item requested. I\'ve been asked to spare our currency, and only one dollar at that, except I am a member of the cashless society, nor have even that much in cash. It\'s all cards and only plastic. This is too gorgeous, I love it! Rendered in seeming simplicity, it has a frankness which charms irresistibly, the imagery superb, and its haunting poignancy lingering. Thank you for sharing.

Charity such a wonderful topic and struck at so keenly with this poem. I used to be tight but my wife taught me to be nonjudgmental and more giving. She would give to all. A very wonderful poem Tobani.

That conflict within you Tobani should be put in a box within your mind and the key thrown away as you move into a good life that is there for you. It is what I do.

This poem powerfully captures deep anguish and haunting despair, with vivid imagery of pain and eternal longing. A poignant cry for freedom from unrelenting torment.

I Have a GUN ( But we can talk)
Cheeky Missy said:
Spot on! Reminiscent of the tales from our own civil war not quite two centuries ago, the point of these wars not necessarily so much extinguishing the enemy as the very men who built society and kept people on the earth. Ergo our best and brightest were sent to be slaughtered, brothers, fathers, uncles, cousins, to simply be slaughtered in the name of a good cause which didn\'t truly exist. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a very charming poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Cheeky Missy said:
\"...there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mightest be feared--\" and, \"Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom,\" with, \"...Who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle\'s.\" Where I long to comfort you, very thankful to see you back, I\'m uncertain how, precisely, to do so. There is so very much in my past which lies locked up nor faced unless triggered, and which I say is the reason I don\'t like thrillers and movies of such ilk, as it were, since my own life shall suffice for that. So, anyway. Thank you for sharing. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a painful, yet winsome poignancy. I\'m glad to have you back.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Now here is both a brilliant poem and a sight for sore eyes. No. Mental Health is no one\'s fault. This poem is profoundly important because it speaks to the reality we who struggle with our mental state are constantly dealing with: undeserved shame. If I got even a penny for every time I was dismissed, written off, and made to feel like \"the problem\" for something \"in their control\" and out of mine, I\'d be a hell of a lot richer. Brilliant, important, hits right! Powerful poem. Great to read you again, dear Tobani! 🌹👏❤️🩹

Victor Bolshov said:
In my eyes, freedom here refers to resolving the inner conflict, ridding of a burden of the guilt, acceptance of one\'s self, seeing yourself for who you are. Invokes thought, good read!

Good to hear from you again Tobani. A poem of internal state and concern over where it is at. Convincing and I don\'t believe that one\'s mental state is their fault. Whether you believe in neurotransmitters, God\'s creation or just predestination none imply blame. Good write my friend

Kindness and Compassion Are Free.

I couldn\'t agree more. A smile to a stranger cost\'s nothing but it could come at just the exact moment when it\'s needed.
Thank you for a lovely poem.

i am going by the theory that there is very little place for truth in the world of today, so your musings make a lot of sense to me

That\'s a great sort of proverb. Can I ask if you wrote it or it\'s a quote?
