Kurt, I\'ve read your work so many times and always admire your metaphysical approach. This time around you surprised me with an anaphoric poem. It reminded me of Walt Whitman\'s many poems; especially, \"I Hear America Singing.\"

\'We’re now on the poster,
PUBLIC ENEMY ONE
The canaries all dead
—with zero the sum\'..
(well distilled, as ever dear poet
a great write! thank you for inspiring my little scribbled reply)..
\'indeed, society\'s current state of evolution seems to be mesmerised - still, stagnantly watching
as those standing by their shoulders are hounded and harassed, while others
across their designated fences are judged and cancelled..
thinking, they\'ll be safe on their own side of a liberally smiley fence, not willing to accept:
they themselves will soon be forced to walk that same plank of injustice,
when that tyrannical \'trend\'
turns its \'self-righteous\'
attention, on whatever \'little\' misdeeds and mistakes, they keep hidden in their own skeleton harbouring cupboards..
and no my scribble is not advocating for one side or another, just offering feeble insight as to humanity\'s current slippery-sloped path
where \'Presumed Innocence\' is buried to realms of archaic irrelevance...!?
as our society, busily continues to dish-out reactionary: social networking - based
public lynching\'s...\'

\'leaving me distant
adrift and alone,
as the carousel stops
—my location unknown\'..
this lines hit home:
\'so many times in life
we\'re made
to feel out of place, when snug within a tight embrace\'..
another great offering my friend, your scope for insightful depth is seemingly limitless, and all I can do is thank what ever lucky branch that curated my path to align with yours, however brief or lengthy our journey, I shall treasure every syllable you choose to share dear poet

\'I do believe in therapy,
but of a certain kind
The type anointed on oneself,
and in yourself to find
A strength to make decisions,
the will to see them through\'..
Amen!

Silent Roar: And I\'ve got a tiger in the tank! (Sorry, couldn\'t help it)
Stolen and lost: Went to the lost and found office, looking for my dreams, alas, nothing there.
RX: My best therapy is to go to bed and wait for the problem to go away!
Into the breach: As Woody Allen supposedly said: I am not afraid of death, I just don\'t want to be there when he comes.
Sorry, Kurt, am having a strange morning!

What We Willingly Accept (+2)
L. B. Mek said:
\'Our freedom of speech now woke and maligned
…acceptable losses
The media profiting from rancor and division
…acceptable losses
I don’t limit who reads my verse,
only who I answer
Each word thick-skinned and armor-clad
all questions zero-sum
I had you
once
before I lost you in a dream
A dream that I woke up
from
where you stayed beyond my grasp\'..
Brilliant!
(forgive me for daringly giving-in once-more, to my overzealous nature and rearranging your words my friend, I mean no disrespect, just a selfish indulgence of expression for my appreciation of your unquestionable brilliance!)
thank you for choosing to share dear poet!

Went to town this time, Kurt.
Apart from the implied approval of ‘fighting forever wars’ (wrong here?) for me I’ve found a clear statement of all that’s wrong with several so called advanced democracies (no names….)
Thanks.

\'The square root of an Epiphany

Amen!
Way to claim back that word as well! We must fight for language, like we fight for our lands.

indeed, in a world where \'Smith\' is symbolic of the mundane and \'Ferrari\' - of the exotic:
