What They Called Her

Strong words my friend. Admonitions sorely heeded. Against the weak the strong show a threatening hand. If it were on the other foot it may be little different when the powerless are given power it is abused in the same manner. Is is something ancient in survival that breeds domination? In survival of the fittest there is little room for cooperation unless one looks to the bees or ants and even they fight other groups. A mother, source of our life, demeaned in our language as a mother fucker, a wife love our life a whore when suspected of infidelity or dressing to seductively in the presence of others. Not wearing a veil may be enough. We are a jealous and possessive lot with little compassion or thought for others around us. A lovely write Tristan forgive the rant.

A very deep and a bit provocative statement, although rather persuasive. Sorry for delay in responding. A fave, my friend!

The unlasting... Ooh a cryptic senryu. Something tells me that even though you so desperately want the light even if it comes it won\'t last. Quite a magnificent Senryu my dear Tristan. πΉ

Now Tristan this senryu sounds strangely spiritual and more creationist than anything else. It speaks metaphorically of light as knowledge as well and can be taken in various ways. Nicely done my friend

The Letter T
Friendship said:
\'Powerful..........With just a few words, God created everything in Heaven and on Earth! What situation are you facing in your life right now that seems as hopeless as dry bones rotting in a field? Will you have the faith of Ezekiel and prophesy over the dry bones in your life? Will you command the dry bones to come back to life, and to hear the Word of the Lord! On this day, Good Friday, Jesus\' sacrifice for humanity is commemorated. According to Mark 15:33, \'At noon, darkness fell over the entire land, lasting until three in the afternoon.\' As stated in Luke 23:44-45, \'It was approximately noon when darkness enveloped the entire land, persisting until three in the afternoon due to the sun\'s cessation of light, and the temple\'s veil was torn in two.\'

I\'m so sorry for your pain, but what a powerful statement you made! The statement explores themes of bitterness, emotional pain, and disillusionment. It conveys a sense of personal anguish tied to the experience of betrayal and the harshness of reality.

Very clever Tristan this poem not only sends its message covertly but overtly. Short but with great feeling it speaks to me of sadness and in metaphor the reason for it. It to me speaks of falseness and deceit and the bitterness that leaves a taste in one\'s mouth as well as tears in ones eyes. The poetic touch of tasting salt in the eyes was masterful. A lovely write my friend

Doh! Now I\'ve stepped into darkness and can\'t see a thing. Fat lot of us that was to me! But wait, it\'s a lot of us to us - we won\'t be able to see Popeye\'s antics. But we\'ll still hear the glugs! We knew we couldn\'t escape him completely. heehee.

Tristan again I can not help but go beneath the surface of your writes. We are told that prayers and faith buy God but are they not but taxes. To pay tribute in any form is a tax whether crops, livestock, loyalty, service all have been paid by serfs of the past to their lord. And so we are asked to pay allegiance, obey commandments, have faith, pay tithes, acknowledge him all taxes

That made me think Tristan and that is a good thing. I could hear the gears grinding as the rust fell off. A definite fave. My house is not for sale either unless someone wants to pay more than I think anyone would for it. (everything has a price)

People love a sale
they think their buys are bargains
