Tristan Robert Lange said:

Primitive Soul
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Michael, I felt the anger in this...the kind that comes from watching people be punished for being themselves. This hit close to home. Powerful poem, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Inner Strength
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Whew, Michael...this one went somewhere I know. I’ve learned not to underestimate what a person can survive, especially when they’ve reached the point where they thought they couldn’t take another damn thing. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A good write many that try to take their life in the last moments regret their action and try to change their course. Many times it is a cry for help. It is those truly committed that succeed

Michael, this feels like the kind of letter people carry for years because they never got to say it aloud. Glad you got to express it here, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I love a twist in a story, movie or poem. This is a good one that makes one think. Very nicely done.

The Paperwork Shuffle
sorenbarrett said:
Badges and trophies that verify us and our worth. I think of the millions that have died in a dark past with no documentation lost to the ages were they not here. Official documentation means little except to officials to see individual worth. I would rather an undocumented hard worker do my lawn than a licensed gardener that is lazy and sluffs off his work. A wonderful write.

Man Without a Country
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a powerful piece, Michael. You transform exile into liberation and identity into something deliberately formed through encounter, questioning, and courage. That final global image gives the entire journey a magnificent sense of completion. Outstanding work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Now days patriotism still is in place with many countries and prejudice exists in this regard where being open minded is treason

Child Abuse
Doggerel Dave said:
I don\'t think I\'d tell him that an appeal to God would be if little use; It is social conditions which must change.
Even so, your poem provoked compassion.

All Poets go to Heaven
Doggerel Dave said:
Certainly seemed a great idea at the time - resume hostilities with a preemptive strike. Round up all the bloody poets warming themselves near the big furnace no. 2 and pack ‘em off to Heaven.
Trouble Is there’s every chance the joint might be overwhelmed and close shop. Has old Lucifer got a contingency plan covering that eventuality?
I’ll pay the write though – good to be forewarned...
