Alcohol Agnosia
sorenbarrett said:
This poem requires deep thought and an open mind. Addiction comes in many forms. Alcohol the most accepted and legal. \"In place of better medications\" a key line. Self medication is the answer for many. AA touted as the best treatment has an astonishing low recovery rate. What does that say of other methods? Beyond alcohol are addictions to things we do not usually consider, sex, even love, anger, depression all considered behaviors or emotions in normal amounts but addictions when overdone and relied upon. Alcohol itself an aggression or rebellion at times and a conformity at others. This poem is more complex than meets the eye. Nicely penned Tristan

nicely said. Your poem revolves around addiction, recovery, and societal attitudes towards alcohol use and sobriety. It highlights the tension between societal expectations and personal choices regarding substance use.

I read somewhere that 99% of \"our\" thoughts are not even ours. I like this challenge to the almighty belief that \"I am \"my\" thoughts,\" Tristan.

A powerful poem.Your words like \"Amen,\" \"think,\" \"THREATENS,\" and \"control\" emphasize a dichotomy between faith or acceptance and the assertion of individual thought. \"Amen\" suggests affirmation or conclusion, while \"THREATENS\" in all caps highlights the intensity of the idea that independent thought can be destabilizing to established power structures.

Nah, sorry Tristan: thinking alone isn\'t enough - it is the quality of the thought which counts. Further, successful control is measured by outcomes...
Hopefully it will still put the terrors up somebody if applied with focus...

That\'s got Popeye muddled. He always thought it was: \'I think, therefore I am\'. He is what? WCAT! lol.

I am not sure if it is the being or the thinking that is most threatening. Mind provoking my good friend and from the time of Descarte, maybe before, this dilema has plagued the mind. Most philosophical it pricks the brain. Nicely done

I have simply come to the age that those who don\'t wish to be around me, are simply ignored it\'s not that we don\'t try dear Tristan it\'s that we try too hard. This is a profound short piece my friend leaving the reader with much reflection. 🌹

That Chair could look somewhat like the one for the Enthronement of a new (and female) Archbishop of Canterbury here in the UK today! An enthronement, no less. ooh!
Meanwhile - we do know - we have heard - of a certain one, but WCAT if folk ask us for all the details! lol.

A truth seldom acknowledged in that people seek advice from those in power and the famous and rich. So much said in so few words my friend.

This to me is describing a Baby being born.
Into the strange World. Maybe something to different people.

Now ya know I\'m gonna say this - my answer is: I dunno - it\'ll be dark; I won\'t see a thing; so put that light on! Who turned it off?! lol. Probably Popeye did, so we wouldn\'t see him...... and don\'t finish that! lol.

Well said. Your poem reflects a sense of existential questioning and uncertainty about the future of humanity. The phrase “what will become of us all?” suggests a deep concern for the collective fate of people, possibly in the context of environmental, social, or existential crises.

Lábrea tar pits come to mind. We will all be frozen in time and what more appropriate way for a generation to be remembered but in petroleum products. Well written Tristen so brief but then so is life as well. Loved it
