Friendship said:
Paul, I must say that it is a very powerful poem. I had to read it a couple of times because you were sending a direct message, yet it was confusing at first, but I think I got it. Not sure yet, but let me know. Have a great day, my friend. Your poem grapples with themes of gravity—both literal and metaphorical—using the concept of a vortex to symbolize forces that draw individuals in, reflecting the struggle between aspiration and obligation. The imagery of a halo turning into horns further conveys the complexity of identity, hinting at the duality of purity and corruption.

Good becomes evil we see it every day and what I was taught as virtuous American history I find repulsive today. The halo becomes horns. A wonderful write Tristan with such a good metaphor. Witch burning was once deemed righteous, stoning for blasphemy, Adams and Jefferson would have been hung for treason if they had lost. And today what yesterday was a joke today is politically incorrect and people are fired for it.

It felt like turning life on its head, us living with contradictions and paradoxes. But that’s probably just my at times neurodivergent way of thinking 🤔🙏🏻🕊️

Okay I\'m not having roots disturbing my death nap, bad enough in life people chapping your door selling you death insurance.
Quite fancy getting dumped in space floating for all eternity. Maybe start a business plan here.

Well said. The poet explores themes of mortality, the grotesque aspects of life, and the transformative power of nature. It suggests that even in death, life continues through decay, as the elements of nature—like roots and twigs—persist and intertwine.

It is all beauty in its own way and place. That, that grows springs from that, that rots. From petrification there is new life liberation. A most interesting poem Tristan Your first two lines caught my attention and felt so poetic in their unexpected contrast and beauty.

One out, all out....Sorry Tristan, I have passed the stage of sweating it,. At breakfast, I give the tranny atop my fridge a good old tongue lashing. as it pushes out the same old bollocks. (Can\'t say it helps my digestion, but nothing a couple of antiacids can\'t fix) And then try to proceed with my day in blissful ignorance. This sometimes works........................

I hear you, been there on days the world seems overwhelming. Your poem centers around feelings of wanting to disappear and escape from the burdens of life. It expresses a desire for a reversal of existence and an end to suffering, highlighting the poet\'s intense emotional state. I hope this feels goes soon.

None of us asked to be here we were drafted. We can all quite our resignation papers made of lead or a hemp rope but there is no pension for those that quit and taxation falls on those that stay. A great write Tristan poignant and dark. Well done my friend

A very serious and sensible piece of write where socio-political overtones are blended with deep meaning and rather a poetic type of the way it is all composed. My fave

Tristan, now you come to mention it, I read that a Federal judge has placed a restrictions on ICE activities in Minneapolis. But what does that mean in an America being driven by your ‘Mango Menace’?
Your message is plain and clear to see, without ambiguity, no flannel involved, the anger palpable.
Having reinforced the absolute need for integrity and truth, Your statement that ‘the darkest days are yet to come’ is, at this point, an almost absolute certainty. Can there be the other side to come out to?

The darkest days are definitely yet to come, soon they\'ll be sending you ingredients to make your own meat.

A poem wide open to interpretation I will take off on a wild ride. Technological sugar in exotic flavors to entice the unknowing and ignorant of such real flavors that the artificial is poison with the taste of candy while the real is unavailable in your area. ICE does entice the hot child with appetite untamed but will shock their system in the heat. It is a slimy green in those pools, one that I would never swim in no matter how hot the weather. Give me clean water I say not bottled either and with no additives of fluoride or even chlorine. Tis dark days indeed when one has no right to choose or even complain about the situation and one pays to be beaten, abused and executed then told that it is all for your own good. Not even Hitler was that smooth of a flavor.

well said, your poem revolves around the rejection of superficiality and deceit, advocating for integrity and truth in the face of evil. The poet intertwines themes of resistance against corruption and the necessity of confronting uncomfortable truths, suggesting that while darkness may lie ahead, it is essential to maintain honesty and moral clarity.

Your poem explores the relationship between divinity, intelligence, and the quest for truth. It asserts that God, as the creator of everything—including human intelligence—has endowed humanity with the capacity to think critically and discern truth from falsehood. The poet critiques those in power who resist new truths, suggesting that ignorance is not a viable defense when confronted with knowledge. Well written, my friend, I came back on for a while, too cold to paint.
