Children Have Rights.

A most noble write Tobani one that I can sense you feel strongly about. Children are deeply dependent on their parents for survival and learning and they didn\'t ask to be here so it does behoove those that made that decision willingly or not to provide for them. Nicely said

I would joke about this but the poem demands respect it is such a beautiful message sent in this poem that needs to be heard by all. Why is it so hard to give what is free? So well said Tobani.

Funny, now you remind me of the latest notice over the interstate, I-55 with a line about not allowing frustration but letting calm rule [despite the idiots weaving through unexpectedly]. Yes, giving a friendly smile goes further where we\'re all in this together, the simple act a free one as you eloquently prove. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a warming poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Fascinating. I know your own body will cast shadows, but didn\'t realize this. Thank you! Charmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy tinged with a touch of humor.

💯 Truth. Over you, behind you, around you...and you will be blind, like a deer staring at an on coming 18-wheeler. I will heed the advice offered in the poem, as I have been intent on doing my whole life! Well done, my dear friend. More wisdom from Tobani! 🌹👏

A great play on words and metaphor as well. You may have to be careful of where you will cast a shadow and how dark it may become. Short but well said.

Reminded me a little of NF\'s rap flows. And old Zen stories, like a wannabe student climbing a mountain to see the teacher, then the teacher proceeds to throw rocks at, punch and kick the poor guy off the mountain. Great work.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, I’m honored, my friend—truly. You didn’t “nick” a thing; this is transformation and a hauntingly beautiful one at that. The title alone, let alone the whole poem, carries such raw energy and honest vulnerability. Again, I am honored and humbled and glad you carried the dialogue forward in this poetic expression.🖤🙏🕯️🦇

Just a Waste of F------ Time
Cheeky Missy said:
Having meant since your posting this to comment, perhaps now shall suffice. The language utilized effective in communicating the situation, there\'s little need for an apology, your French seems in good working order. While in truth I\'ve no leg to stand on in making this argument, yet seems to me there\'s no parent who can avoid facing the tremendous responsibility in their lap when forced to raise another person to adulthood successfully, which seems would logically also drive the angst and irritation when finding themselves frustrated in achieving success. It was never acceptable to punish another for your own problems, however we do it all the time. There. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a painfully haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Whether tongue-in-cheek or very truth, the none too subtle note of humor lacing this most serious discussion adds flavour. Charmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a seriously haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

hello
These stanzas and their rich metaphors are gifts from the wise seeing pen. Sometimes these chattering voices are like the morning birds, they have to sing while they can, sing while you may! I enjoyed the reflections, greetings and blessings

Ah, but insanity to some is creativity to others. Nicely done Tobani. I enjoyed the meter and the rhyme. But mostly, the encouragement to review my own case files. Thanks for sharing.

sorenbarrett said:
Is it not more insane to tell a person that they are insane because they are comfortable the way they are? Why do we give the majority the right to label the minority as insane. As Thomas Sazz says mental illness is what we call people that cause us discomfort that there is no law against. The continual use of the same rhyme at the end of each line emphasized the feel of obsession seen in many mental illnesses. Very nicely penned
