Devilishly Dreadful: Unholy Loopholes
sorenbarrett said:
A poetic story pairing the natural good but weak follower with the strong but too bold that joins the evil due to a headstrong persistence. Great lines and the use of spelling deviations to mark the demonic. Great symbolism and a sense of darkness. A narrative poem it tells its story well. Evil overcomes. Very nice Tristan

The poem explores the tension between faith and the darker aspects of human nature, particularly how the pursuit of power can lead one astray. It reflects the internal struggle of a monk who follows a crusader, questioning his beliefs and the morality of their actions as they encounter evil.

C\'mon now, folks, pay up towards my private, rented pew-box, complete with doors and curtains - as in olden days. Curtains so I can doze off during sermons probably, or you\'ll think I\'m there but I\'m not behind the curtains. lol.

Ahh, a hymn-poem! Doh! An extra syllable crept in at Verse 2, line 2. You could make it \'tis\' instead of \'it is\'. Well, it does fit if you sing the \'Protect it\' bit quickly. We must know these things exactly! lol. That was about Primary School \'School Hymn\' as a sort of motto.
Rollup, roll up, to some churches where you gotta PAY for everything, even Β£3 (or $3) for an Art Group, towards cost of materials I suppose. Even St Paul is fair and not money-grabbing.

Clever wording in this poem. The word play is wonderful with (profit) as well in the first line (free or poor) (duty-free) So much hypocrisy in man made religion pointed out in the (fee) that not only rhymes with (free) but is an antonym. Turned upside down an inverted cross it is. A fave

Well written, this poem revolves around the theme of exclusivity in faith and spiritual elitism. It critiques the notion that salvation or inclusion in a religious community is contingent upon status or financial means, as well as the commodification of faith. The subject matter addresses the tension between spiritual ideals of equality and the reality of societal hierarchies.

The poem explores themes of oppression, societal division, and the moral complexities surrounding freedom and identity. It critiques a society that values conformity over diversity, leading to the marginalization of those who do not fit a particular mold.

Oh I\'m surprised you haven\'t yet mentioned freedom of speech, and the Jimmy Kimmel story, because it truly shows the America of today, where Trump truly does rule... π’ There is patriotism and there is extremism I truly in my 50 long years never thought I would see this divide so divided. Also in Europe we are having a moment, just the other day the red carpet was rolled out for Trump, we have been putting up with right extremists trite for so long, we don\'t even know how to begin to complain anymore, one rule for us one for them, but Trump owns the channel and takes Kimmel off, ever heard of Silvio Berlusconi? follow the link of David\'s poem, read what I and others have written lol π€£ stay cool dearest Tristan.

A great reliance on the occult the use of three as in the three time repetition in stanzas. Nice work my friends. The use of inversions, inverted smiles are frowns. The sign of the inverted cross. A most interesting song

The poem expresses a deep concern for the state of the world, highlighting the destructive consequences of human actions driven by hate, neglect, and environmental degradation. It serves as a warning about the impending self-destruction of the planet if humanity does not change its ways.
