THE BREAK-IN
sorenbarrett said:
A poem written in short lines like short breaths taken in fear, it speeds the presentation like a racing heart. The poem turns violent when there is imminent threat and then subsequently ends. Nicely done

History provides the explanation, but often doesn\'t instil enough motivation to change for some parties. - “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” could well be rephrased as \'Some who remember the past wish to repeat it\'
For me, History, while possibly the most contestable of the social sciences, contains truths all should note. (Believe it or not I have a bee in my bonnet when it comes to this topic.lol)
Great write.

I feel there could be a metaphor at play here, perhaps for those people who come into our lives full of apparent depth and outward brilliance but when the tyre hits the road they disappear like \"snaw aff a dyke\" as they say in Scotland. (snow off a wall)

MUCH LESS TO FALL
sorenbarrett said:
A most interesting point of view. Society call that type of person antisocial but I have always questioned whether that is just because they are compared to the norm where most people experience feelings of passion and love. A most thought provoking poem well written in poetic style with rhyme as well.
