What Rebellions Are Built On

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.

A story thinly cloaked and familiar. A sad story Tristan.

Not at all, Tristan. Brutal and clear in its simplicity and truth.
(Soren\'s backstory, for want of a better term, is also endorsed)

Only one word Popeye says - start with a G. He\'s said it, oh, about 10 million times. Phew! Said what? Don\'t answer that! lol.

Got the message my friend it comes through loud and clear but then so were many laws and treaties that were dumped, ignored and denied. If one can deny what is clearly written on paper how much easier to deny what was only words and words are only worth what they cost and up till now they have not found a way to charge for them. You say in poetic terms the key that should unlock memory of the reader, but then some reader\'s locks are rusted and corroded from lack of use. Political promises most of them lawyers, once the money is received things change and like a used car dealer\'s guarantee it is only good until you take the keys. Well done Tristan a powerful piece

A great rhymer accounting for (as in \'no\') for some of the trials and tribulations you suffer within your faith Tristan. Glad it is not mine.
Take care of yourself.

The poem deals with discussions of religious beliefs, hypocrisy and acceptance. What is most valuable in it is sincere and deep author\'s ideas that might seem provocative a bit but surely call for listening to... Many thanks. My fave!

As a person who doesn\'t believe nor have any interest in religion I find this to be most amusing, it\'s funny how we can be brainwashed into believing bad things, but then I say, each to their own, an excellent poem I had a good chuckle. 🌹

Yes it\'s all in the small print.
The sentiment was probably true once upon a time, then the money men got a hold of it.
Always wondered why people who dressed in frocks had a problem with gay people, am I missing something.

Well written. Powerful. Your poem revolves around the tension between religious belief and acceptance, particularly regarding sexuality. It critiques the hypocrisy within certain religious communities that profess love and acceptance while simultaneously excluding and condemning those who do not conform to their beliefs.

Straight is the way and narrow the gait and at the end Sciron does await. He\'ll force you to wash his feet then kick you down Procrustes to greet. Strap you to his iron bed, if too short stretch you, if too long cut off your head. A great write Tristan and a fave

\'Like\', \'Fave\' - a rare piece which remained accessible without being expository; conveyed what it wanted to convey without, even remotely, pointing finger. Great work

A prize example of where superficial rationality means in reality total authoritarian crap. So neat, Tristan particularly when the penalties are so heavy.

I feel this has much to do with your president and the ICE holes, pun intended. My dear Tristan when I was. 15 I went to a very important demonstration in Trafalgar Square it was against the Chile regime, no one was shot dead, times have changed, I don\'t envy America today, and i certainly hope that his voters can see things more clearly now, at least the five with brains anyway. 😢

A wonderful example set where she shoots her dog saying it is not trainable is this what she means about people too. Powerful statements in this poem give it gut wrenching messages that nauseate the soul of anyone that believes in freedom. Tyranny relies on compliance. A fave Tristan

Well written. This is what I been saying! Your poem pertains to the consequences of human interaction and the potential dangers that come with it. It reflects a broader commentary on social behaviors, perhaps hinting at the consequences of societal engagement in troubling times.

Great question, Tristan. I was just thinking this over last night. A bureaucrat with a house loan, a family to support etc. How far will he or she be pushed before saying, \"No, I`m not doing it\"? For me, this reveals something deeper, meaning if we weren`t ignorant of who we are and what we can do, we wouldn`t even be in that kind of situation in the first place. Howard Jones in his song \"Pearl in the Shell,\" put it perfectly - \"And the fear goes on, shadows, and the tears flow on. For nothing.\" As one who has struggled mightily with fear and self-doubt I know all too well what Howard was saying.

I know this would have been hard for you to write dear Tristan because you have a beautiful heart. We are living in a nightmare because the ugly side won a presidential contest, he should have really stuck to being in cameos in films 😢
