It is within us all to look at and be reality instead of being mislead by those who think they know what is right.

A Diet for Our Eyes and Our Souls
jarcher54 said:

It is a challenge to \"turn it off\" so thanks for the encouragement. Our passivity and unconscious reception of what others choose to place before our eyes is insidious as well as what they choose to show us, usually for clicks, ads, and generally to addict us.

Master Thumb (A Rap)
L. B. Mek said:

a powerful concept, a creative write
\'like a Roman Emperor, I can save a life,
but if I don’t like you, I’ll see you die,\'

poetically vivid social commentary
a thought provoking read

Goldfinch60 said:

You are so right Ben, who can we trust.
Respect has just gone out of the window but it is so good when we do occasionally come across it.

Such true words Ben, all the time we are being stopped from being able to say and do what many of us know is the better way to make our lives so much better.

A Trio of Definition
Doggerel Dave said:

When you have the balance so right, who be the apes?!
I’ve lived in town, while I now live in a city. Preference town every time. The city is a large machine which can be very alienating. However, paradoxically large swathes of the city, particularly if they are well established and not new developments, form themselves into villages within. One other advantage would be quick access to medical treatment (a plus for them of a certain vintage such as myself!)
When younger I lived in a town, popn 70,000, and this was a nice comfortable size for me. However nothing stays the same: now 185,000.
Your post has a great truth there, expressed in a real poetic way, as per Rocky (above).

Rocky Lagou said:

This is marvelously written, dear poet. Your rhymes, your alliteration, and your images just flow so cohesively in this magnum opus. I also adore the theme, being a townie myself (literally born and bred in the heart of Miami), I can relate very much.

So true Ben, we must do better in our world.

A \"Fab\" Four
arqios said:

Nothing quite like it really, always re-writing, re-spinning, re-inventing, and rehashing revisionist narrative. A grad delusion that sometimes is encouraged by its very victims.

Panel Show Prophet
Bella Shepard said:

Dear poet your words ring so very true. I find myself these days avoiding 24 hour TV news as well as internet. I may scroll past every once in a while just to keep up, but not to be inundated. I find real life in nature each day which keeps me grounded, and allows me to tolerate all else with a skeptical and questioning eye. A great and timely write!

Mystified, not necessarily by its sentiments, but by to whom (and there was someone, surely? Too many specific references to be otherwise) this piece was addressed.
Come on, fess up AS - no hiding behind all those words.
