Tristan this is ingenious your arrangement of words seem to indicate top to bottom reading as in Japanese or Chinese if I am not mistaken and in that order there is defiance and rebellion against established beliefs such as God and yet the last line contradicts this saying that God is just our scapegoat. In other words take responsibility for our own doing. If read word for word left to right there is meaning in the top line \"forget life angry god\" What a thought there is in this. And letter for letter the word flag is formed making me think of a national god. The apostrophe had me a bit confused I have to admit. A most ingenious arrangement and composition my friend a fave

Did you omit your morning coffee, as this matter proved particularly challenging to comprehend? Your writing appears to revolve around concepts of identity, conflict, and perhaps the complexities of national pride or personal struggle. The word \"FLAG\" could symbolize patriotism or national identity, while the other words, which seem to be jumbled or incomplete, evoke feelings of confusion and uncertainty🤔🫣🤭

Yes, it seems if you\'re not producing you\'re no use to anyone.
I\'m surprised there\'s not a government office that\'s puts you to sleep for being past it.
Mind you, you would still have to fill in the 75 page release form in triplicate for getting put down in the first place.

What a powerful message my friend. I too have reached the age that I am withdrawing not what I put in but my children\'s contributions. Mine long gone to support my parents. And where did that go? Government mismanagement and theft, lies signed in IOU\'s for other government projects that good or bad kept taxes lower and politicians in office. We can not complain for we elected them but to cut out the needy because of our disgruntled desire to keep more is wrong as the poem points out. The last one holding the stone will be the loser unless something better is adopted. A lovely write my friend and a fave

A delve into the psychology of the mind in rhyme and poetic form. Been there for forty years my friend and there is no good answer for many of the delusional, the depressed, the anxious and disturbed have no peace or if so are not left in it. A good question my friend

I always feel if there\'s twenty people having their say, then it\'s hard to get your own thoughts out.
In saying that, usually it\'s neneteen people discussing the job and one guy actually doing it.

Societal expectations demand compliance ignoring the individual and their needs. My poem today skirts this same issue from another view. Nicely written from the individual perspective this shouts out for rebellion against the machine and the man. Well written my friend

It calls out pull towards power, but also shows a quiet confidence in choosing your own path. Well written. Nice

Well written. Your poem examines the relationships between individuals who are near those in power, highlighting the superficial nature of their interactions. It questions the value of seeking approval from authority figures and emphasizes the importance of remaining true to oneself.

Powerful write Tristan. It is the weak, those that are in proximity to power and also need to belong. To be something bigger than themselves. Just my interpretation.
