Felt sure this had something to do with the colon, and you travelled overseas to avoid the buildup where you were...

Nicely written. Your poem critiques the superficial enjoyment of colonial legacies through travel and leisure, juxtaposing personal experiences with the historical context of colonialism.

Good Day, Tristan,
Just look at the history of stolen lands, stolen one way or another and become more legitimatise with the passing of time to the point of acceptance. Colonial: a nice word for theft by any means possible. Great stuff, Tristan.
Fond regards,
Tony.

To think we gave you Trump.
I mean, how feckin kind are we.
Now, I know it might be an inconvenience, but we have a Labour party in power here, they\'re bloody hopeless.
Could you possibly take them and do something with them. I was thinking, lethal injection, then I remembered that doesn\'t work anymore.
Now, Trumps firing squad. This could be the solution I\'m sure. As long as the Democrats are not firing the guns.

Colonial turned international capitalistic where slavery has become the worker and tax payer. All land leased from the government and forfeited when taxes are not paid or the person dies. Governments not owned by the people but by the corruptly elected minority a false monarchy passed hand to hand under the illusion of a democracy. Well written my friend.

Tristan, you have all the support you need above and I agree with most of it. I think I have a slight problem in that I play back ‘what ifs’ in my mind continually, and while some are very useful in a reassessment of my own behaviour at the time, others tend to creep me out.
An interesting write worthwhile for me all on its own.

Kids dice with death daily, I know I did on my bike.
As a car driver, I watch the new kids on the block with electric bikes that can reach 40mph.
I would imagine no one wants the death of a child on their conscience, but someone will.

Oh, here in Florence a noble family just a few years ago lost their 21 year old in a bike accident in London, Fillipo Corsini and every time I drive past their home I some how feel so desperately sorry that he died whilst he was enjoying himself in London a student I believe. This is a \"what if\" poem which really makes one think. I have so damn many especially at the moment 💜

Tristan this brought me flashbacks. When twenty one years old I was driving in a hurry through a residential area my attention diverted I came back to see a young boy on the sidewalk right in front of my car going forty miles an hour I was able to swerve out of the way and avoided hitting the child. The memory serves as a ghost to me to this day of what might have been and a reminder to always pay attention and stay at a low speed in residential areas. It still haunts me and I look at it as possibly saving others as well. A powerful write for me and on the basis of that power a fave

Hello, Tristan,
No connections a life of rejections. On the low rung of the ladder, the poor chicken, resumé in hand and not a chance. a tale of woe the world over.
Fond regards,

You can see why Britain ruled great parts of the world, we were bastards.
Now the world has come back to haunt us and we hate them even more.
Isn\'t history great, it can be distorted but it can\'t lie.

Hey,Tristan. Is this dude David Brainerd (April 20, 1718 – October 9, 1747), an American Presbyterian minister? He is someone I know nothing about (although most respondees here seem very familiar with him) The incident involving the burning church is equally elusive. Feel I\'m on the outer here...
