Why, yes, of course! Says me in my dafter moments. Doh! Bonkers things like a story I read of a rich snobbish person who scolded her servant for not dipping strawberries in sugar before feeding them to her pet monkeys! \'As you do\' - a daily occurrence? lol.

YES!!! Yes it is! I think it has been for quite a while, while most of us were looking the other way. But one can\'t look the other way anymore! Excellent poem. #Truth 🌹👏

Nicely said,Your poem serves as a powerful reflection on the contradictions and challenges present in modern society, inviting readers to contemplate their own perceptions of reality.

Degree is the only difference in any. Fascism meets Communism at the extremes. At times it is normal to be insane and for the insane to be normal and after all who is to define insanity it is merely the degree of difference from the majority. Watching what the majority do I would rather be insane myself. A thought provoking and well written piecer my friend

But of course, my friend. Besides, which democracy is being lamented, eh? As an American, my school years saw me reciting, until it should be ingrained within me, our Pledge of Allegiance. That, crazily enough, is flatly ignored in my adulthood as the idiots howl endlessly over the loss of their supposed democracy. It was never what they tout. But that shan\'t divorce them from such dreams. Benjamin Franklin\'s reply when asked what government the representatives had given the states was, \"a republic, IF you can keep it.\" I shall politely disagree with very nearly every line above... excepting the query\'s assessment: insanity is the latest trend. Beautifully rendered with an excellent poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

It is certainly a thing to try Tobani but I have never known of peace in the world, we can but hope.

your poem is reflective of contemporary events, particularly the ongoing conflict in Ukraine that escalated in 2022.

Defenestration a very local solution but certainly worth a try if the right defenestrator can be found and given solid guarantees with respect to their future health and welfare…
In the meantime I’d combine Soren, Tristan and Fred’s contributions to arrive at a summation of the current situation…..🙃

Beautifully written. And you are right, it is wishful thinking. But wouldn\'t it be great if billions of people around the world would take your poem to heart and stand up against the few that cause and create all this death and sorrow!

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Great, though-provoking poem! Those in power are replaced by those seeking power. An ugly, vicious, and unending reality that plagues not only Russia, but everywhere. The day we eliminate power as something to be had is the day we attain peace; and sadly, I do not see that happening this side of Revelation, per my beliefs...or never per others. But that is the sad reality as I see it. With that said, we MUST strive for peace and you leave us brilliantly there with that call: \"It is more than likely unrealistic wishful thinking from me. / But at this point I think anything is worth a try for peace.\" Indeed, trying is far better than giving up and becoming a part of the problem. Hear hear! Excellent poem, my friend! 🌹👏

That might be one possible solution but most likely another would just take his place. I don\'t believe that peace can be found until our DNA of violence is changed. Good poem Tobani

You\'re hereby as charming as dear Shakespeare, this carefully delineated injunction to self, which aught to resonate with countless, eloquently rendering reality in more than simply this genre. This baring of the soul, as you\'ve excellently rendered with nigh exquisite imagery and a delightful poignancy, is a serious thing indeed. I guess I\'d honestly never have found the chutzpa to enter a local poetry group nine years ago if I hadn\'t first found sweet camaraderie online. Thank you very, very much for sharing. I love it.

Cheeky Missy said:
After which the sage takes a hearty swig of amber draught, wiping his whitest beard with satisfaction, eyes twinkling. And I\'m forever the little child at his feet, mouth too widely opened, eyes agog. Beautifully rendered with a touch of nigh exquisite imagery and a very haunting poignancy, thank you so much for sharing.
