L. B. Mek said:
\'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.
thank you for sharing!

indeed, in a world where \'Smith\' is symbolic of the mundane and \'Ferrari\' - of the exotic:
what\'s in a name, \'they\' ask...
a thought provoking write, as always

Depreciating The Young (+2)
L. B. Mek said:
\'of a longing
of a distance
in the memory
/wayward
of a darkness
of a warning
that prophetic
/sojourned\'..
a write worth meditating until fully comprehended, wonderous in its depth of insight,
at surface level a lament for handicapped youth, but within its true flow are tethered branches to cynicism\'s cyclical back-n-forth,
commenting on humanity\'s search for meaning within moral integrity, between thesis, antithesis and synthesis,
in our never ending dialectic for answers: before we\'ve even comprehended, what questions we must ask of ourselves, let alone life...
in my humble opinion, one of your most meaningful and poetically accomplished write\'s within your chosen distinct style - dear poet, a great effort taking into account its scope! really well executed
thank you for choosing to share
