\"Political systems betray us all!\" It is perhaps conceivable you may be right... Not quite all though. Political systems must work for some... now who could they possibly be...?

A macabre poem indeed with all the darkness of the night and the dankness of the grave. Nicely done Tristan

Hung drawn and quartered for being a person who sticks up for themselves and their rights, not a world I ever want to be a part of, I\'ve never been a sheep and I admire your poetry very much for the message you send out, democracy and justice always. 🌹

Thomas W Case said:
Excellent, my friend. This is an angry, confrontational piece of political and social protest, railing against systems of power, industrial servitude, and the institutions that claim authority over ordinary people.
“Servitude is systemic. Stop the machine!” is the keeper for me, because it boils the whole argument down to a blunt demand for freedom, leaving the reader with a challenge rather than a comfortable place to stand.

Six minutes? The time it takes for Popeye to eat 100 cans of spinach; or Ol\'Tom to \'knit\' 100 pairs of socks; or Obi to wave 100 sabres! lol. Why this random collection? WCAT!!

A powerful poem, well written. Your poem addresses the poet\'s feelings about asking for “six minutes” of someone’s time, which leads to a sense of guilt or disappointment. It captures the tension between the desire for connection and the realization that such requests can sometimes be burdensome to others.

Well written, you did a lot of thinking on this one, Tristan. Your poem critiques a misplaced focus on negative influences, represented by the \"devil,\" while emphasizing the importance of divine love and positivity, represented by God. To me, the poet questions why individuals devote their attention and energy to darker forces instead of embracing the love and guidance of a higher power.

Are ya from the y\'all area?! Heehee. Popeye says \'y\'all spinach\'; Ol\' Tom says \'y\'all knittign\' and Obi says \'ya\'ll sabre-wielding\'. What will they get up to next? WCAT!
But hypocrisy is not a feature of ALL believers. Yet it was the \'religious\' leaders of Jesus\' days that received the sharpest rebukes.

Tony Grannell said:
Greetings, Tristan,
What is red and orange and blue all over? LOL! My only concern, they should hold back on revenge and govern first, plenty of time to right the wrongs. A profanity laden verse that gives power and grit to your wonderful outburst. Congratulations on a splendid and overwhelming win, my friend.
Wishing you much happiness,
Tony.

Comprehension sometimes difficult, particularly on the underside of Earth where political colours are reversed.
However, away from politics, blue represens for me cool and tranquil, in contrast to flaming red.
And beyond that, now a more hopeful existence... perhaps...
Go for it, Tristan.
