never fear- those who read and appreciate your verse will definitely miss it/you - so keep them coming, even if at longer intervals....

Well said. Your poem reflects a sense of existential questioning and uncertainty about the future of humanity. The phrase “what will become of us all?” suggests a deep concern for the collective fate of people, possibly in the context of environmental, social, or existential crises.

Lábrea tar pits come to mind. We will all be frozen in time and what more appropriate way for a generation to be remembered but in petroleum products. Well written Tristen so brief but then so is life as well. Loved it

A rare short poem… might have to call you the prince of concise 😅. All jokes aside though, great poem and I love the question at the end. It’s something I think of often…

The political cliché, which over the years I\'ve heard more times than I care to count, \"the silent majority\" with it\'s connotations of virtue have had me shouting and climbing up walls...
You\'ve cracked that one, Tristan.

A deep dive into the interaction of action and nonaction in regard to values. Sometimes inaction places you on the other side. If you wish to remain loyal to your values action is required. Well said Tristan clever Acrostic

All about fire one of the four basic elements associated with energy, assertiveness and passion. Can tell you from first hand experience Tristan that fire did not do that for me when I set myself on fire. Maybe the energy to roll around on the ground trying to put it out it certainly did not make me more passionate as all the skin peeled off and the sting made touch unbearable. This poem brought back memories of a rather difficult time.

sorenbarrett said:
A most interesting concept. Abstraction a pattern that attracts our attention to something familiar but unidentifiable something similar to the familiar. It holds our brain for an instant in time just long enough to be aware of it as a pattern different than the background yet it is not anything that can be applied and holds no identifiable truth. But then truth itself as a concept is an abstraction. Clever wording and rhyme make this whole poem an abstract work of art.

orchidee said:
Good write T. Erm, I was reading, we\'ve a \'little while\' yet, nothing to worry about. The Sun will burn out in about 4 and half billion years time! heehee.
So we\'ve a few minutes or more left! lol. Don\'t make any difference how long it survives to Popeye, cos he always survives with ........ WCAT! lol.

A metaphoric Icarus fall of society in this poem. Interesting that as one climbs the atmospheric temperature drops and the sun becomes a distant light bulb giving off little noticed heat. That once warm value we held has cooled. It is winter in the land today. In this season nothing grows, frozen hard Icarus would have left a blood spot. Well written my friend a fave

Now we know, you and I, why you may not be able to keep up with comments, as we\'re distracted by Popeye\'s antics, and that causes us to take up time - or waste time?! lol.

Preemptive apologies for this, Tristan.
To challenge your last proposition, derived from the rest of your argument:
There is obviously “something of significance… greater than that which we already know.” But after that is a big full stop. It is completely pointless, in my view, to believe in something unknown even if our pitiful little minds could remotely conceive of what that might be.
Take care of yourself.

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
