We Evacuate To Where.
Cheeky Missy said:

Ah. Aptly illustrated herein, we see the point of mass media and social control, of the television. Never mind the facts, let\'s wallow in the latest. Besides, the fastest route to extermination of a culture and people is their progeny. The only question remaining is whether it\'s better to abort mid term or at any point, let the children live but teach them lies and deceive them thoroughly, abuse them completely, or kill them outright. Hmm. I give up. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. [P.S. I already \"tweeted\" my opinion months ago, I think.]

As long as man holds his beliefs as more important than his brother\'s life there will be such tragedies. A sad and tragic view of mankind and how he treats his fellow man. Well written Tobani

Cheeky Missy said:

Hahaha. And \"...the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it?\" (Jeremiah 17:9) And the mind, isn\'t it inexplicably married to the heart? Dunno. I give up. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting, fascinating poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

I think you\'re right I\'ve been called feeble minded all my life lol A most motivational write Tobani a call to action and a placing of blame on something we have control over. Very nice in its brevity

Cheeky Missy said:

Forsooth. Black Like Me proves that, the alleged attempt to see another angle what most of us forget is rather crucial. We can only offer empathy until we too have experienced whatever, seems to me. Gorgeous in tantalizingly eloquent brevity. Rendered beautifully with superb imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

Cheeky Missy said:

Ah, you\'re too good! If only! \"...the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked: who can know it?\"(Jeremiah 17:9). Oh, I can\'t find words to express how much I love, love, love this gorgeous number of yours!!! Exquisite and beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting, delightful, albeit bittersweet poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing, I love it!!!

Your words peel back layers, revealing truth beneath the surface. A powerful reminder that authenticity lives within, beyond any facade.

It has always been interesting to me why white people wish to be darker but discriminate darker skin and why darker people want to be lighter. A mind provoking read.

Head Battles The Heart.
Damaso said:

What a beautiful piece. In my experience, nothing I\'ve ever done with my heart has ever been regretted, but the mind always speaks first, and with good arguments, even though they\'re usually just calculations. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Head Battles The Heart.
Tristan Robert Lange said:

The head and the heart, two vital to our existence, physically and philosophically. I have found many who neglect over the other, do so to their own peril. This poem, as I read it, is about the balancing act needed to keep both sides at bay. Well done, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ‘

Head Battles The Heart.
David Wakeling said:

This is an amazing work. Very well constructed. It puts the Head against the Head in an age-old battle. A person\'s feelings and a person\'s logic are shown in conflict at first but resolve that at the end. Well done

sorenbarrett said:

Ah the differences between logic and emotion and how they do not always agree. This time the head came out on top but it is not always so. A fun and very enjoyable read.
