The Highest Calling
Friendship said:
A powerful poem. Your poem \"The Press\" revolves around the role of journalism in a democratic society. You emphasize that the press should act as a voice for the governed (the general public) rather than serving the interests of those in power (the governors). The poem highlights the importance of truth, freedom, and the responsibility of journalists in advocating for the well-being of the nation and its citizens, particularly those who are struggling.

A true statement that should be true but unfortunately the present state of affairs guarantees ownership of the news by the well offs with a common interest. Well done Kurt

Kurt, I love how these two pieces complement one another. The first discovers its guiding force inwardly, while the second extends that creative force toward others. Beautifully conceived, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A Ruse
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, the formal, almost dignified delivery makes the insult land even harder. There is no shouting or flailing here…just a calm and thorough verbal extermination. Brilliantly done, my friend! 🤣💀🖤🙏

It is obvious that the author does not give much value to the one spoken too. Well written Kurt

It Wasn\'t Love ...
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a haunting piece, Kurt. The spare structure, measured pauses, and emotional restraint create an ache far greater than the poem’s size. It reached into some painfully familiar territory for me...beautifully done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this deeply moved me. Each stanza strips away another human assurance…speech becomes silence, hope becomes formation, time becomes a suspended instant, and every journey confronts its inevitable end. Magnificently haunting work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
