Not all men are equal, in a sense. Mustn’t be the tack that the forefathers were thinking of when they wrote their great writ. (an aside) 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊️

A poem of fidelity where upbringing may set the standards but nature has a stronger hand. Curious though my friend how can one be trained to be hansom someone dropped the bar on that one with me.

Oh, hell, I cannot resist:
HAIL CORMORANT! 🐦⬛🤘
Prof(ane/ound)? revealer of human stupidity...nature’s black-robed prophet, molting without shame, perched at the tip of a sanctified dickhead while humanity rusts behind its own fucking gate. (was this in my outside voice? 🤣).

I prefer the Old Testament with it\'s Oscar Winning Special Effects. Better than the New Testament.
That\'s got nothing to do with the Poem. Just thought I\'d mention it.
Although a very Cryptic and Clever Write.

And why is religion so against sex? Did not god say be fruitful? So many sexual images buried in this poem the pier, the gate and then the introduction of the cross on the pier canceling it, the gate rusted and barring entry. I heard Freud mumble in his grave. Oh but that is but a hole as well. But what sums it up well is the final line idols are for the birds. A fave my friend this one was tight.

Tristan with the archetypal image of a snake one falls into the alliteration of the last line. A frightful image indeed.

Have you ever indulged in watching [oh dear, what am I suggesting here?!] 007? You\'re likely more cognizant of the thread messages than I shall be since I\'ve not watched enough flicks.

A nice parallel between the Salem witch trials of 1692–1693 and modern conspiracy theories, criticizing the mentality of fear-driven, conspiratorial thinking and the certainty that comes from believing one has discovered a hidden enemy.

This is why yoiu check everything.
In saying that, I blame everything on others, otherwise the conspiracy stops with me.

Such a good topic where we all look for something external to blame and why not music the one thing that moves the soul more than anything else. I love the final lines yes blame was shifted onto the defenseless that mentally diminished the odd the women and a scapegoat was had. We still do it today blaming others for our mistakes. A fave my friend

There’s only one course of action for me, Tristan. I will absent myself immediately. This is far too raw and painful to witness. Bitter family disputes cause so much grief clearly extracted here – which speaks to the quality of your writing.

They always say, you can choose your friends but you can\'t choose your family.
I would imagine no one mourns this man, and why would you.
We all have collections of relics that we keep locked away, and your poem highlights why.

This is heartbreaking and deeply moving. The final question is especially powerful—a painful reflection on love denied, wounds carried, and the daughter he might have truly seen if he had loved her as she deserved.

Hi Tristan,
I really like this. It’s quite dark and sad, but that’s maybe why I’m drawn to it. It sounds as though your parent in law couldn’t show love to their daughter, despite her being there for them, while other family members squabbled over material things.
It’s got teeth, this one.
Well written 👏

I hear anger and rage at one that should have by nature loved a child and did not. If father despicable, if mother worse still for she hated what nature had decreed part of herself. A strong write that screams out in furry.

Fiercely honest poem here, unflinching with each line refusing to let the past rewrite itself. The poem allowing the daughter to be seen, finally, giving her dignity that she never got from her father. 👍🏻🕊️
