As a person who doesn\'t believe nor have any interest in religion I find this to be most amusing, it\'s funny how we can be brainwashed into believing bad things, bit then I say, each to their own, an excellent poem I had a good chuckle. 🌹

Yes it\'s all in the small print.
The sentiment was probably true once upon a time, then the money men got a hold of it.
Always wondered why people who dressed in frocks had a problem with gay people, am I missing something.

Well written. Powerful. Your poem revolves around the tension between religious belief and acceptance, particularly regarding sexuality. It critiques the hypocrisy within certain religious communities that profess love and acceptance while simultaneously excluding and condemning those who do not conform to their beliefs.

Straight is the way and narrow the gait and at the end Sciron does await. He\'ll force you to wash his feet then kick you down Procrustes to greet. Strap you to his iron bed, if too short stretch you, if too long cut off your head. A great write Tristan and a fave

\'Like\', \'Fave\' - a rare piece which remained accessible without being expository; conveyed what it wanted to convey without, even remotely, pointing finger. Great work

A prize example of where superficial rationality means in reality total authoritarian crap. So neat, Tristan particularly when the penalties are so heavy.

I feel this has much to do with your president and the ICE holes, pun intended. My dear Tristan when I was. 15 I went to a very important demonstration in Trafalgar Square it was against the Chile regime, no one was shot dead, times have changed, I don\'t envy America today, and i certainly hope that his voters can see things more clearly now, at least the five with brains anyway. 😢

A wonderful example set where she shoots her dog saying it is not trainable is this what she means about people too. Powerful statements in this poem give it gut wrenching messages that nauseate the soul of anyone that believes in freedom. Tyranny relies on compliance. A fave Tristan

Well written. This is what I been saying! Your poem pertains to the consequences of human interaction and the potential dangers that come with it. It reflects a broader commentary on social behaviors, perhaps hinting at the consequences of societal engagement in troubling times.

Great question, Tristan. I was just thinking this over last night. A bureaucrat with a house loan, a family to support etc. How far will he or she be pushed before saying, \"No, I`m not doing it\"? For me, this reveals something deeper, meaning if we weren`t ignorant of who we are and what we can do, we wouldn`t even be in that kind of situation in the first place. Howard Jones in his song \"Pearl in the Shell,\" put it perfectly - \"And the fear goes on, shadows, and the tears flow on. For nothing.\" As one who has struggled mightily with fear and self-doubt I know all too well what Howard was saying.

I know this would have been hard for you to write dear Tristan because you have a beautiful heart. We are living in a nightmare because the ugly side won a presidential contest, he should have really stuck to being in cameos in films 😢

A fave for the message so concisely penned in this short but powerful piece. Poetic in its brevity and strength. So aptly put my friend.

Right where obedience stops asking questions and starts burying its own conscience.
That line you’re tracing is the sound of a soul deciding who it really serves.

Short and sharp, your question, Tristan. Answer: I have no fealty to any system.
But that\'s just me - others might want to scratch their heads and think about it...... ☺️

\"Obliviousness will Never be a sufficient Safeguard from nemesis.\" Absolutely not, Tristan. And I guess the oblivious (not everyone, not you and me) will eventually learn when it is too late.

The world is on the move, fuelled by gold lined streets the west provides.
Though this is usually provided by people smugglers.
Immigration is great, mass immigration not so.
Is the far right moving into power, I would say so.
Will it be pretty, history tells us no.

There is a bigger picture here than a single ice cube, a guiding hand that stirs the pot and waits for it to boil over. They add just enough hate and anger to get it to come to a boil and then while all are concerned with the mess they will blame the fire and plunder the kitchen while everyone is concerned with the mess. Good write my friend

Our world has changed. I saw the images! Your poem revolves around the dangers of nationalism and xenophobia, particularly as they manifest in societal attitudes and actions. The poet addresses the impact of fear on a community and the consequences of ignorance and obliviousness in the face of rising hatred and division. The imagery of crosses and \"fleurs de la mort\" suggests a morbid reverence for symbols that divide rather than unite. There is an urgent call for awareness and introspection regarding societal issues.

Hey Tristan, you should know me well enough to understand that I have no wish to comment upon those matters of Christian faith with which you involve yourself.
However when the Trump-et’s bugle calls to arms simultaneously take on the world plus internally as well….. sorry, I lost (can’t follow) the plot anymore. Your vexation is palpable.
