A wonderful poem Tristan that asks the question that even in countries that are not democratic are their leaders nothing more than a reflection of the populace and then the question of whether this is the best that we have to offer. A sad commentary on humanity, actually a bad choice of words. For it appears that there is little humanity in humanity. Well written my friend. A fave

\'A strong leader\' almost a mantra in even some unlikely quarters.
Cracked that one short and sharp, Tristan.

Sadly reflects the emergent, or is it the emerged, state of politics today. A poignant reminder well penned.

A sad consequence of the balance of preemptive news reports getting the names and perpetrators wrong. When they name the perpetrator as the victim and vice versa the child rapist is now a child. With political correctness we identify only the victim that now becomes the target of merciless further attacks.

Religion\'s Worst Witness
Paul Bell said:
I\'ll die for my faith.
Yet, no faith asks you to die for it.
Mind you, when someone tries to inflict their religion on you. For some reason, the imaginary machine gun pops up and takes them out.
God is good, tells you on the fag packet.

Oh your title, I came straight to answer it
Religions worst witness, is that that follows it. Although I know enough to say that the faith can bring real comfort to those in fact who believe. I don\'t live so far from Rome, i see it for myself. 🌹

Religious commentary hot off the grill. It is steaming and has a smell to it. Not the commentary but the religion. Nicely packaged under cellophane it looks hygienic but is past its pull date and has molded. Loved the passion in the poem Tristan it speaks for itself. Well done

...And the Ivory abode

dignity to shreds.
the lines above popped up in my mind when I was reading your poem - a powerful write.

This reads like a dark fable—satire sharpened into a full-blown cautionary tale.
The repetition of the white castle and fake peace drives the absurdity home while keeping the critique biting and human.

Btw, Tristan, have you heard \"Money Game Part 3\" by an artist called Ren?

At first I couldn’t for the life of me work out who might be in your sights here, Tristan. But then as I watched you carefully delineate the circumstances, I occurred to me: Humpty Dumpty. So I await now with the greatest anticipation the Great Fall…

In our day and age, the very thought of having someone in any castle or white house that inspires good is clearly a dream. Another one that made. Me chuckle because of the irony you so beautifully disguise, ( get rid of Trump and all the rest who don\'t give a toss about true democracy) 🤣

Wowee. The visual image has a way of romancing me while I read, until I\'m half reconciled, despite it being a dirge. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
