The Passion Has Gone
Mutley Ravishes said:
We\'re being asked to dig deep.
The electricity
Never dies
It lies
In wait
Keep the faith
What if the snake
Can only awake
When all passion dissipates?

The old song \"You\'ve lost that lovin feeling\" comes through strong and clear in this poem. It is hard to keep the fire alive and once out it is even harder to restart. A wonderful write.

One of the sad things in life and I guess, something of a universal truth .. is that when the passion has well n truly dissipated there\'s no getting it back .. a fact so well poemed .. Neville

You know my wonted assessment, yet the haunting poignancy of this particular number grapples with me every single time I read it, initially dredging up my late father\'s burial, albeit it was not at all similar and we kids still regret things and wish we\'d a second chance with him, nor is it like he never lived since so much of what each of us are is Dad, and Mom. Excellently rendered with superb imagery and a lingering, killer poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

The spectacle of a broken society in plain view. A different world and yet we are all only half a step from the gutter.
A fine insight into a modern day outrage.😎

Nobody can ever understand what walking in someone elses shoes is really like. We judge to save time, yet that very act creates more division in a rapidly eroding world. Politicians are a pointless distraction. I admire your energy in addressing this, and yet anger is an energy.

Nobody really knows ahead of time but it\'s comforting to believe that we all qualify for heaven. When the time comes we\'ll find out if this is hard fact or just wishful thinking. Good writeT/N.

I don\'t know if the demons in our head will die when we do, I often wonder: if we reach the depths of hell, is our pain going to come from burning or from the torture of our minds? \"They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, when somebody says your name for the last time.\" For some of us, that happens at the same time.

Profound, deep, dark and fun. That is how I would describe this. This, my friend, is a raw and unflinching look at death, legacy, and the human condition and you challenge readers to consider their own mortality and the impact they might leave behind, if any. The cynicism is my home and, truthfully, the ending was killer! Loved this my friend. An easy fave! ❤️🙏🌹👏

I guess we nearly all have a little (or a lot) of the Starmer in us. I think this is how he is able to operate. Imagine him and his ilk trying to operate in a (real) golden age.
Great write!

The Hand of Evil (We Have All Week)
Cheeky Missy said:
You\'re my peer, not much elder than myself, yet herein force me to face the reality that such horrendous and hellish worlds have been flourishing the whilst others, as ever, enjoy happier.... for ages. Winsomely rendered with excellent imagery and a resonating, reverberating poignancy. Thank you so very, very much for sharing.

Being from the US, I am not too familiar with Mr. Starmer or grooming gangs, but yikes! This poem is a straight-up callout for accountability—something we could use more of everywhere, not just in the UK. And...listening to both sides and not hiding behind ignorance...Politicians in particular have a real hard time doing this. Truthfully, though, that is a human issue all around. It definitely hits hard and true and makes me think about how often leaders dodge responsibility instead of facing the truth. Well done on this, my friend. Well done. 🌹👏

Strong words and a powerful message sent to those with an inflexible view and harded heart. Unfortunately most of us are set in our ways and unwilling to do what it takes to change our views and thereby comfortable lives. Well spoken with conviction and a sense of reproach and anger.

A hard read, but one that needs to be read, my friend! It is a horror that I know you and countless others have gone through and I am thankful for your courage in sharing. A powerful and important read. And for that reason, I fave it as well. 🌹👏

Terrifying! There is no fear worse than impending certainty and time is the watchman. Horrors exist in this world and pitfalls that one needs to so carefully watch for.

A tough read Tobani, but very well delivered. To think that children in care, the most vulnerable children of all have to suffer this and worse is truly upsetting. So sorry the little you had to deal with this.
