Tristan, I recently read a writer-teacher saying that most of this humanity has no interest in awakening. And never will have. When I look around me, I feel this is indeed, true. Why are they not interested? I have no idea. Perhaps a clue lies in the \"Power Law,\" where, for example, only a few seeds out of thousands become fully grown trees.
What are those famous lines from Ben Yeshua?
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.\"
Great write!

So much pain in this write to wish a retreat back into the womb as though time on earth had not existed. A tormented write with references to 666 which gave me the chills. A strong delivery here Tristen. All the best poet.

Well that caught me by surprise, a very powerful tale of pain, suffering and perceived injustices. I am not of religious beliefs but i get the biblical references in the write. Very well expressed

What a strong poem that speaks with biblical power but in contradiction and heresy in the ear of the rigid and cries out to the listener of earthly pains and perceived injustice. A wonderful write deserving of a fave

I am totally with you on this one and it is not as simple as think positive and good things come your way, life just is not like that. Most bullies are cowards as they only pick on the weakest, and i learn`t over the years it is not a personal thing, they are attracted to those they perceive to be week or are jealous of, but inside probably have more fears and insecurities than the person they are bullying. It is not the victim who is weak it is the bully and sadly there have always been and will always be bullies in the world and that bullying will come in many guises. If you have been on the end of bullying it is not a simple issue to resolve and can have devasting effects. Powerful, poignant and sad write, but points well made

If I were you Tristan, I wouldn’t take it personally .. I reckon you just hit both on a fact of life and a sad sign of our times .. You just happened to articulate the fact so eloquently and wrap it in a poem mate .. Neville

Your poem hits hard Tristan. I felt much pain and frustration in your words. To feel as though you want no one around you, must be pretty dreadful. I hope this isn’t about you my friend. Speaks to me of mental health problems, but without doubt there are are uncaring people out there, but also many who have hearts of gold. You just have to find them. All the best dear poet.

Dark as dark can be with some quite alarming imagery. Your poem certainly paints the blackest picture here Tristan. Plenty of metaphors to bite on. A fine write, as always from your inspired pen.

Welcome, sadly, to facts and the uglier face of aka reality. Were I to quip, \"I hate to break it to ya, but--\" it\'d be unforgivable. While this pretty, sordid little number can\'t help but resonate with most of humanity, yet alas, how shall I say it? \"...God is love--\" and man seems to illustrate the exact opposite. Beautifully rendered with superb imagery and a painfully haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Hang in there, please?

It is a hardwired fact that humans are cruel as well as kind. Cowardly as well as brave and like flies bullies are attracted to cowards and flee from the brave. A wonderful write

People are people, in that same way. In the same breath, what you put out is what you receive. Take people at face value and turn to go on your way. Harbor no ill will and you will find. You your life is better. To this take heed, when looking at life. If all you see is negativity, that is what you find. Change your perspective and change your life.

Ah metaphor deeply planted in this poem. There may be many interpretations but the first one that took me was passion that never matured to love and was still born. Reluctant to release such a relationship it continues venomous and is second hand smoke. A wonderful write worth a fave.

Always gonna get me

I never heard the word “xanthic” before! Is it from Greek?
Anxiety - surely one of our greatest tests?
Interesting write, Tristan.
