I Got Burned.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
I am not fan of the death penalty. It gives the power to kill/murder to the government, and it brings no justice. It just creates more victims as I see it. This poem reminds me of that because it is exposes how easy it is for a terrible accident, in essence, can wind up getting blown up into something it was not. Scary, but happens all the time. Well done, my friend. 🌹👏

I love the story told in this simple poem. So many written similar have a bland feel but this really hits home. Thanks for sharing

A sad but true tale. In the court of public opinion we can be falsely accused and even sentenced without the facts. Worse yet, we can be burned more than once. Nicely done, Tobani.

A poem of injustice in an unjust world where little makes sense but all things lead to death. In a random world coincidence happens. No one wants to believe that it is random and everyone wants to think it should be fair. A good story Tobani. Nicely done

Oh dear! That was quite a horrifying thing to live through and die for. Should we just take our coffee burn and get stepped all over?🙏🏻🕊️

Yikes. I don\'t like the damning finality of this. Please say you\'re alright. [Oops, now I am sounding exactly like my best friend hours ago as I drove home from work very aggrievedly.] How beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a lively, yet frightening poignancy. What I love is the progression, that is, until it seems to conclude with death. Thank you for sharing.

I love a thin poem. Anger, hate, love and sanity beautifully expressed in this sometimes hard hitting poem. Perfectly composed with an array of poetic devices. A complete joy to read.
Kind regards,

Omg this poem hit me deep, according to me it resembles a faint sense of living now as you feel tired from everything and its all boring and you just want to be out of this world, sometimes resorting to pain feels nice like you\'re free again... it hurts but feels like you\'e in control, still sinking in a place you dont desire to live, its honestly depressing and I love how you captured this beauty in words described so beautifully dude omg I relate to this poem frr, also if u ever wanna talk I\'m gunna be heor existing ik im like 16 and like really young but if u ever wanna be heard... I\'m here, these words are not fake okie

The power of this write comes in its format and meter. The use of two words in each line echoes the ticking of the clock which is further noted in the last lines of the stanzas. There is a feeling of time winding down. With its passage there are many dark things remembered until the last stanza where it is released and freedom attained as the clock stops, time is up. Very nicely done Tobani

Oh! The ecstasy of freedom, that inherent enthusiasm which grasps the day by its horns and flies. Alas, such charged moments and joys melt like Icarus\' wings in the blazing eye of heaven, is it? Wonderfully rendered with a heartening enthusiasm and excellent imagery. Thank you so very much for sharing. If only it had never dissipated.

Understood. I have been there. You think you\'ve finally figured things out, you\'ve \"healed\", \"moved past\", know how to cope, etc. Yet, you are not sure if you can really believe it has happened and, as your note points us to, it is indeed short lived. That has been my experience too. And yes, it is good while it lasts. For sure. Well done on this, my friend. So relatable. 🌹👏

A turn from the dark to the light is felt in this poem. It is uplifting and hopeful. Good rhyme as well punctuates this piece. On a sea of waves sometimes we are in a trough and at others on a crest as the swells of life come and go. Enjoyed it
