Beautifully, and courageously (!) put, Tristan. A friend of mine often emphasizes courage as the main ingredient in the brew. As your poem says (to me, anyways), it\'s already naturally present within us, just waiting to be released.

Tomorrow when you wake up Tristan look in the mirror and repeat these words.
I am fabulous and talented and I don\'t care for the opinions of others because their opinions do not matter.
Fabulous poem, triumph passed all the bowel crap! 🌹

Know that feeling Tristan, Don’t possess a spiritual laxative. Too tired at this stage in the life cycle to do much about it. My only recourse is to stir others in the hope they may find a formula which will clear the blockage in them.

This feels like the people in power who hold you captive whilst making decisions that affect only you.
Usually irritable pen pushers with too much time on their hands.

Well said, my friend. Your poem revolves around the struggle with internal conflict and emotional turmoil. The poet expresses a sense of frustration and stagnation, as their courage feels \"betrayed\" and \"constipated.\" is the matter focuses on the emotional burdens that must be endured, highlighting the interplay between internal feelings and external appearances, particularly with the mention of \"gray,\" which may symbolize weariness or aging.

Tristan, your poem got me thinking again about the \"power law.\" For example, if we take all the people in the world who play soccer and then organize them into a pyramid, with the different skill levels represented at each level, the number of people who are not very good at the game massively outnumbers those who are seriously good at it. I think the same thing roughly applies for spirituality. Or, in other words, awareness (of self, of society etc). So, society is inevitably the way it is. If what I`m saying is true, then I wonder why is there a power law? I have some ideas on that too.
Anyways, I could be well off the mark with these thoughts!

I had to read this three times. Well said. My friend. Your poem conveys a sense of despair and resignation regarding the state of society, suggesting that the chaos and violence we experience are the results of our own actions and desires. The poet implies that humanity has brought upon itself a form of authoritarianism and suffering, with an acknowledgment that divine intervention is absent.

I would imagine even in Orwell\'s prophetic thoughts, he couldn\'t have envisaged how this world would turn out.

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 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.
