Well said, strong, right to the point. Your poem addresses themes of oppression, economic disparity, revolution, and the consequences of societal neglect. Your poem references the struggles of families affected by systemic issues, hinting at historical contexts like the Dust Bowl era and the broader implications of capitalist exploitation.

A wandering genius of song and social reform a modern bard and prophet rejected like all in the past. A lovely write my friend and all the more applicable today.

Thomas W Case said:
There’s a damn clever hidden structure here—the opening question about a “presidential name” leads into oppression, Okies, capitalism, hardship, revolution, and finally the wandering singing prophet, which strongly evokes Woody Guthrie without ever simply naming him. The acrostic is the real knife: the opening letters spell O D Y E G T R E, while the oddly deliberate wording and historical imagery make the poem feel like a coded little monument to the Dust Bowl, Guthrie, and the American class struggle.

Love this one Tristan it is the last twist that gives it its kick. The cynicism is perfect after the set up. As George Carlin said strange that we disinfect a prisoner\'s arm before giving them a lethal injection.

Well written. You had me thinking on this one!🤔I could be very wrong! Your poem appears to involve a tense, possibly sinister scenario where one character is guiding another through an uncertain and potentially harmful situation. Phrases like “kick the stool” suggest a sudden, violent action that could lead to the subject\'s downfall.

You make your choices and live with the consequences. I\'ll admit it\'s not easy, but you kinda adjust and learn how to live despite all the odds. Charming and beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Nothing wrong with corn on the cob occasionally... make sure the serviettes are large and of good quality, because C on the C is bound to be smothered in something..
I empathise... but not too much... I\'m veggo.
Your tone poem/video was an experience and a half. Eerie, atmospheric, the whole thing, the journey weirded me out for a while. If I have stranger dreams than usual, I know who to blame, Tristan. Rightfully proud - must have been hard work.

So happy for your good news. Your poem revolves around a conversation about going out to eat, specifically to a barbecue buffet that poses a challenge for a vegetarian. Sometimes you have to bring your own food. I wouldn\'t go, but that\'s just me.

One can easily tell if one comes for the food or the company. I was always advised that when going out to eat, eat something first so one does not appear a hog and glutton. Nicely done Tristan

Jackassassination
Carlos Alberto BUSTILLOS said:
We\'re living in truly terrifying times with all these 2030 and 2050 agendas.
A powerful few are keeping the rest of us divided and distracted from what actually matters. I don\'t think we\'ve ever been this fractured—it\'s everyone against everyone on a global scale, classic divide and conquer.
Everyone preaches love and peace, but they\'re creating the exact opposite.
It really feels like we\'re watching an apocalyptic scenario play out.
And let\'s not forget, there\'s a reason the devil is known as the Prince of Lies.
Thank you for sharing your poem

Friendship said:
Well written. Your poem revolves around themes of violence, societal decay, and the cyclical nature of suffering and retribution. Your poem also explores the impact of trauma and the inherent brutality of the human condition, suggesting a world that is both wounded and wounding. The reference to execution and \"jackassassination\" points to a critique of violence in society, possibly reflecting on how individuals or groups respond to offense and pain.

John F. known as Jack was indeed assassinated and I remember the day well. Some said he was a Jackass others a prince of Camelot. Plenty of vultures but I don\'t buy the story given. Well written
