At Knowing\'s Edge

Faith in religion becomes theory in science each to be tested. And when we arrive at that most fundamental foundation beyond which we know nothing then both science and religion unite in faith and theory. Two different methods searching for the same thing \"Truth\" a great write Tristan

Clever wording and meter encase an emotion and thought that one is not esteemed or felt to be of any importance. Sad and most probably a distortion of thought that many have for almost everyone has someone that cares about them in some way or other. A very nice piece with which most all of us can identify with at some point in our lives. A fave my friend

Oh no! Let\'s not consult P & Co about baptism. I don\'t mean the church/spiritual/religious type of baptism. We\'ll get soaked by them! How? Erm, WCAT! lol.

Tristan this carries so much unsaid meaning. We are all baptized by birth in the breaking water of the placenta. Yet such baptism or any other does not guarantee acceptance. The new born almost universally accepted is soon banished by culture, skin color, religion of birth, language, and then their own personality, actions and friends they choose. Do not expect God to save you from this a God that would banish his own son, that would order extermination of his own children of creation by armies of the chosen and drown them with a flood. No my friend we are on our own. Well written and a fave

sorenbarrett said:
A poem of wisdom. The sacred never what is preached or lived by others. It is in absence that one learns who one is with out the mask used for society. To live in humility opens one to scorn from the keep up with the neighbors crowd and those dependent on conformity where the ouroboros feeds on its own tail. True service almost unknown where everything has a price. Facing one\'s fears is the only way to defeat them. Why did so many retreat to the desert to find themselves or who they called god. God is within us. A great write Tristan

orchidee said:
So you are in that rutted road, when adding the word \'forever\' to \'labelled disrepair\'
Popeye says the UK adds an extra \'L\' to some words, as in \'labelled\'. Also extra \'U\'s as in \'colour\'.
Some churches - not all of them! - can feel a bit like that solitary pew. We may feel like yelling: \'Anyone alive in \'ere?!\' if it seems dull and dreary.

Tristan I am not sure why but the first thing that came to mind was the rebellion in failure. It is the ultimate defiance against society and this all the more so if one is capable of success or even genius. To throw it in the face of cultural, national, family demand and say that is what you get you are not worth the effort, I refuse, it would be an insult for me to try. I will satisfy myself and you all go find someone else more gullible than I. Someone that believes in your farce.

A very Powerful statement. Your poem explores themes of despair, failure, and self-identity in a world that values success and appearance over authenticity. The poet grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the pressure to conform to societal standards. The notion of \"disrepair\" symbolizes both a personal struggle and a broader commentary on the human condition, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging one\'s vulnerabilities and the reality of feeling lost or erased in a world that often disregards those who do not fit the mold of success.

Just given me the best, by example, piece of advice I\'ve had for a very long while, Tristan. I talk to the air, and now I know just how to find the cure - I need more focus. You provided a solid entertainment special anchored in the real world with a real solution out here.π

Tristan not sure if this is a satire but seems so to me. Some people talk to idols, religious relics, God, other to people that might as well be rocks, not listening, not seeing, not responding. We all have our rocks solid and as strong as our beliefs. Enjoyed the read my friend.
