joint relief
Syd said:
I wish my job would allow me some joint relief. I used to enjoy it years ago but the company I work for are strictly anti drugs. I doubt they\'d even allow it on prescription. Alcohol is my poison of choice but it\'s more harmful in my opinion. Nicely written Tristan - Syd 🍄

We could look at it as the next door opening, a new beginning a new body even. This theme is superb and this year I\'ve seen a young man die in tragic circumstances but he got to say goodbye. I also saw my father fade away, he looked more scared than the young guy, I don\'t think I will ever heal from his fragility, he was the strongest man I ever knew. 🌹

I suppose there\'s different routes of dying.
The artist who loses his hands.
The writer with demetia.
I wonder what we would fix if we were given another shot at life.

Can I commend Soren for a painless correction where methought there existed a typo, and you good Sir for the empathic laugh I got at your conclusion.

I\'ve told People my Epitaph will be : Thank Heavens for Death. No more travelling on Public transport.
A enjoyable Read.

Thomas W Case said:
This is a darkly witty and surprisingly vulnerable poem, using the repeated rhyme of lie, try, scry, die, and supply to disguise a serious meditation on mortality, the fear of losing one\'s mind, and the exhausting business of being alive.
“just not more than / enduring / the endless strife of what we call / life” is the keeper for me, because that final turn strips away the playful wordplay and reveals the painful truth underneath: death is frightening, but life can be one hell of a burden too.

Tristan the first thing that hit me was a person that could not lie down for some reason in a flash my mind went to the telling of the truth but it is a fun play on words none the less. Now scry is most uncommon now days I guess not many keep a crystal ball anymore. Although I believe it can be done in a pool of water. I wonder if one can scry from a pool they cry. Enough silliness back to the poem. Most people do say they are afraid to die. As for me I\'m not afraid of death I fear pain, physical or emotional. A fun poem of rhyme that flows as it goes. Nice one my friend

\"Political systems betray us all!\" It is perhaps conceivable you may be right... Not quite all though. Political systems must work for some... now who could they possibly be...?

Hung drawn and quartered for being a person who sticks up for themselves and their rights, not a world I ever want to be a part of, I\'ve never been a sheep and I admire your poetry very much for the message you send out, democracy and justice always. 🌹

Thomas W Case said:
Excellent, my friend. This is an angry, confrontational piece of political and social protest, railing against systems of power, industrial servitude, and the institutions that claim authority over ordinary people.
“Servitude is systemic. Stop the machine!” is the keeper for me, because it boils the whole argument down to a blunt demand for freedom, leaving the reader with a challenge rather than a comfortable place to stand.
