Illusions, delusions, hallucinations all cause for alarm in this poem where reality begins and ends and the mind takes over is unclear. Well done my friend.

A Few Philosophies
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Michael, I\'ve spent much of my life questioning things I was taught to accept without question. It\'s not always a comfortable journey, but I wouldn\'t trade it for unquestioning conformity. Much to ponder here, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Coming to Terms
Tristan Robert Lange said:
I\'m happy for you, Michael. One thing life has taught me is that faith doesn\'t spare us from struggle, but it can give us the courage to face another day. May you continue finding strength and encouragement along the way, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Undertaker of Dreams
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Michael, this is delightfully sinister! LOL! I love a good Gothic fantasy, especially one that leaves me wondering whether I should be excited or terrified about falling asleep tonight! Excellent work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Me, Surrender?
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, Michael! This hit close to home, especially after the morning I\'ve had! LOL! I love that you\'ve still got some fight left in you, even when life is being a royal pain in the ass. Here\'s hoping the universe gives you a well-deserved break, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Rebellion
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Michael, there\'s a terrible irony in how easily the oppressed can become oppressors themselves. History certainly hasn\'t lacked examples, and somehow we keep convincing ourselves that next time will be different. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

In Blind Content, We Will Die
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Damn, Michael! I share your frustration. Sometimes I look at humanity and wonder how a species capable of such incredible things can also be so spectacularly stupid. And we keep electing people who prove it! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Response to Reincarnation
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Michael, I\'ve always found it fascinating how certain places or experiences can feel strangely familiar without any obvious explanation. Whether there\'s something spiritual behind it or simply a mystery of the human mind, I think there\'s room for wonder. Enjoyed this, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏

A lovely write. Thoughts that have passed through my mind on many occasions echo in this poem. Not confined to person, maybe animal or plant or even rock, river or mountain.

My Secret World of Pain
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, Michael. I\'ve wrestled with some of these very same frustrations, particularly the expectation that we\'re supposed to think and behave according to everyone else\'s standards. And heaven forbid we admit we\'re struggling! Thank you for being so open about something deeply personal, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Dark and cynical this poem paints a picture of the world that is well deserved. If everyone has a bright and ignorant view of things is seeing them in their real form being a cynic? Nicely done

Guilty of Uninfluenced Thought
sorenbarrett said:
Powerful this strikes at the heart of modern control. Dictating what one must say controls the mind and thereby the actions of the masses. I a rebel refuse to submit to politically correct words and fire my verbal bullets direct to the heart of the enemy. Considered a terrorist and labeled a wild man and barbarian I fight with my only weapons my tongue and pen. Good write my friend and a fave

Questions of Existence on a Dying Planet

If you are going to set up a debate/fight then let it be between science and vested shortsighted self interest.
I cannot help but find myself in absolute sympathy with your conclusion, though.

Freely Let Your Emotions Flow
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Michael, hell yes! Poetry has been one of the most liberating outlets I\'ve ever discovered. There\'s something wonderfully rebellious about refusing to let the world dictate what we\'re allowed to feel or express. Keep that rebellious spirit alive, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Life Is the Joke...
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Michael, I was laughing until I realized we might actually be the punchline! 🤣 And knowing humanity, we\'d probably argue over who gets the last word while everything collapses around us. Hell of a thought to leave me with, my friend. Great write! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
