A poem that I feel the surge in. Electrical it shocks and in its current reminds that we are not machines that are owned and controlled by a master but our own beings with our own power and will not tolerate having the plug pulled.

The poem revolves around empowerment and resistance against oppression. The speaker asserts their autonomy and refuses to be silenced or controlled by someone who employs violence, both verbal and emotional. The poem conveys a strong message about self-worth and the rejection of compliance in the face of abusive behavior.

Bella Shepard said:
Such creatures are we that often judge or reject another at face value, never knowing what lies within. As long as those who make the products, they claim will make us beautiful, set the standarad for beauty, we will continue to fall prey to its allure. This poem graphically captures the feelings of negative self image in the picture, the presentation, the emotion. Outstanding write!

Well said, my friend. Your poem explores the contrast between beauty and ugliness, self-perception, and societal judgment. The poet expresses a longing for beauty through imagery related to art (painted fingers) while also confronting feelings of disdain and shame. The poem addresses self-identity, the pressures of appearance, and the emotional scars caused by societal expectations.

Never understood why Turkeys voted for Thanksgiving in the first place.
I always liked the way the white man stole lands off the indignities.
Liked the way they pretended they were doing them a favour, making life better for them.
Now that we\'ve raped all their lands, it only seems right that we send them all back to their lands.
Pass the gravy, Trumpy our lord is about to speak.

The Author\'s Note says it all! And the poem just takes the breath away, all we like sheep have gone astray. It actually brings me back to an old rhyme I made on an identical state of affairs. One that we clearly have not learned as it has oft been said history repeating itself. 🕊️🙏

Brilliant way of writing, my dear friend. Happy Thanksgiving, you brought out the true meaning, you made me laugh. Your poem revolves around the juxtaposition of traditional American Thanksgiving rituals with themes of nationalism, xenophobia, and a critique of societal values. which the poet includes a Thanksgiving dinner filled with food and gratitude, but beneath this surface, there are layers of hostility towards immigrants and a celebration of a narrow, exclusionary vision of American identity. The repeated references to specific foods, particularly turkey and rutabagas, serve as a metaphor for what is deemed acceptable or desirable in this vision.👍❤️😂

I have read somewhere that an authentic (please note the absence of the word good) conveys the mood partially through the way language is used. I could have looked up an example, but being lazy I didn\'t. The concept seemed too esoteric for my simple taste. Yet here I am reading your poem and noticing how the nature of expression changes. I feel now I understand. I won\'t try to diminish the impact of the poem with my stock words like \'wonderful\',, \'excellent\' etc. A FAVE

A great satire indeed on a day of satire but then the irony is that it has always been this way caveman George stole his cave (and probably wife) from caveman Frank. He didn\'t like him anyway he was a Neandertal. Native American Artic Ice just slid over the straights, straight into his neighbors unfenced land and his family fought over property rights ever since. (Not that they had any deed but they wanted hunting rights) Pilgrim Joe moved next door and gradually slid his property line closer and closer to his native friend. When he objected he bought him out with a bag of beads and a better gun. Oh well it wasn\'t too hard after he killed most of the family off with his communicable disease. He wasn\'t just a pinko but actually red so he had to go. Mexicans don\'t count they are the wrong color too. And today Uncle Sam can take the land to put in a highway or whatever and send you back to where ever your great grandad was from ( not sure which great grandad though) regardless you have to go. A fun read Happy Thanksgiving

This poem revolves around the interplay between identity, existence, and the impact of external influences on the self. It presents a somewhat dark, existential perspective on how individuals are shaped by their surroundings and interactions, suggesting a sense of entrapment and conformity. The repeated refrain \"You’re just another\" emphasizes feelings of insignificance and the struggle for individuality amidst a crowd. The subject matter encompasses themes of creativity, isolation, and the weight of societal expectations.

Takes you down to the depths and brings you up again. Should be used in therapy.

Stunning poem. The theme appears to be rare- the disease of compulsive pleasing. Very thought provoking. A wonderful write.
