Is Insanity Now Normality.
Cheeky Missy said:

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.

Agony carried in turns.

Pains a part of love, and the trend these days to act like there should be zero suffering at all in knowing others is insane.

First. WOW! I LOVE THE STRUCTURE! Sorry for YELLING that at you, but I love experimental poems and this was beautifully structured to feel very much like passing observations before the eyes and in the mind. Well done. Second, this is so my home. I relate to this so much. Alone, but not alone....Not alone, but alone. Thank you for this expression my friend! 🙏🌹👏

I find being alone enjoyable. Free of drama, floating freely in my thoughts. Fertile ground for poetry.
Creative piece.

A point made that each term is by itself emphasizes the aloneness of it. There appears to be a pattern in the words which if I stretch may be the panes of a window. Creative. No we are not alone we always have ourselves, thoughts, and emotions.

We can feel very alone with our emotions thoughts and feelings .. and even around other people .. it can make one very sad .

I can feel very alone , sometimes when I’m around others .. isn’t a nice feeling

Such a sad story Tobani, it happens so frequently, I have a friend who was abused for many years, she got rid of him eventually and I spent much time listening to her problems and helping all I could. She now has a new wonderful partner and they are wonderful together.

Abuse an ugly monster that consumes both victim and perpetrator as well as many around it. A sad poem with a message that unfortunately those that need to hear it most will probably not hear. Well done

Is Peace Just a Fantasy.
Tristan Robert Lange said:

As things currently are...FOR SURE. And what does true peace look like? It seems to me everyone\'s idea of what peace exactly is differs, which then sets up conflict, ironically. At the same time, I do believe in and strive for peace. How complicated of me! 🤣 We humans really are complex, no? Anywho, wonderfully though-provoking write on this St. Patrick\'s Day friend. And, I do believe your poem fits with the day in this way: as St. Patrick peacefully spread his faith only for the church to take over behind him and undo much of what he set up and, to make matter\'s worse, the dude is only remembered for green beer and snakes. All of this to question, can peace really be attained, when one can work for peace only to have it completely undone in one fell swoop. Anywho, a very thought-provoking and wonderful write, TobanI! 🌹👏☘️🎩☘️
