Each of us a light that flickers too fast. None of us will outlast the night. Yet in another light, light associated with wisdom or knowledge too comes and goes changing day by day to fall into the dark of ignorance and no matter how bright it might seem at the time it will be snuffed out as more knowledge comes. So well done in metaphor that leaves the reader to wonder which metaphor to choose and maybe it is all that need to be considered

And now a poem we can never reveal: \'A tale of two Popeyes\'. Or if there\'s only one him, make it \'A tale of Popeye and Ol\' Tom\'. heehee.

This poem calls for reflection. Although it seems to be about Christianity, I can confidently say that in spirit it talks about the dichotomy of organised religions. Great job

The progression from the original purpose of the church, to those corrupting the messages of light, then the marriage of the secular power churches gain, to that very apt and sarcastic fourth act, to the true sacrifice on the alter being the heart--is fantastic. The critique on society (as per usual) is spot on, and especially considering what is right and what is wrong and what the truth is. Definitely a fav and I will be reading this more than once!

As long as you say the magic words. \'\' Forgive me lord I have sinned.\'\'
It\'s a get out of jail card, and the congregation bow in awe.
Either that or you get sent to darkest Africa till the dust settles.

The division between good and evil, selflessness and selfishness. A somewhat dark journey with a bit of word play along the way. Nicely done Tristan

Wonderful and thought provoking, its relatable to many subjects in the times we live. Pain or peace, we are all so different that someone\'s pain maybe someone else\'s peace, and vice versa. Clever now my mind is in overdrive. 🌹 (Hugs dear Tristan) 🌹

As an inveterate agnostic, I have a list pf plausible possibilities in my head. Heading that list (sometimes in second place), is nothingness…. But does that constitute nirvana? Thanks anyway, Tristan.

Good write T. Bit of French there? Totalitate.
Now there\'s a sentence you hear every day from P. - I just can\'t stop. Stop what? Don\'t answer that! lol. Hint: it relates to spinach, of course.

A thought provoking piece Tristan. And indeed the end may in fact be nirvana. Where peace is only obtained in death with nothing there after.

I recently saw this video of this man who paints in only black--he uses the way the light reflects off of different stroke angles to show a picture. Anyway, black does seem to be one of those universal thoughts and feelings

Don\'t knock black too hard Tristan - I couldn\'t scribe this without it\'s services. Just put it in the naughty corner until it behaves itself...🙃

Loved this one Tristan that highlights the lack of change despite effort. Black such a good choice that as we know it the sum total of all colors in pigment and the absence of color in light. Well done

It seems strange, but when colour photos came in it was a revelation.
Now we all go back to black for nostalgia, though I might look better in black and white.

The good are included, the bad excluded.
Though many a time I was included, I sort of wished for my street cred to be excluded.

But most people are! Some people include certain but not others and I think that\'s where the wrongfulness begins. There\'s a theory that if you hate every race, you\'re not racist because you treat them all the same...

Good write T.
Now look Popeye - it\'s either \'A\' for you, or it\'s \'A\' for you. There\'s only \'A\' to choose. What is \'A\' we ask? Don\'t answer that, but it\'s Popeye\'s occupation for 23 hrs 59 mins each day! lol.
I dunno how I think up this rubbish! heehee.

A philosophical gordian knot. The picture you posted looked like two eggs. The other day an egg I was making was dark navy blue inside and fell into three others in the bowel. It being included could no longer be excluded so I threw the whole mess out. A great read my friend and a fave
