Faith probably started out with good intentions, but along the way it got hijacked.
I don\'t doubt there is a lot of great religious people out there, but they always seem to be overshadowed by the fire raisers.

The poem explores the tension between rigid religious beliefs and the necessity for empathy and inclusivity. It critiques those who are inflexible in their faith, suggesting that such attitudes lead to hate and the erasure of individuality. Ultimately, it calls for a more open and loving approach to spirituality.

Friendship said:
Well written, the poem explores the anguish and torment of a being cursed with vampirism, highlighting the internal struggle between the desire for life and the compulsion to inflict death. The speaker grapples with their monstrous nature and the guilt associated with the lives they take, ultimately seeking redemption or release from their cursed existence.ā¤ļøš

The myth of the vampire a desire for immortality the desire for sexuality a form of incubus coming from a dreamland preying on young and vulnerable women. A fun read Tristan

Pleased to know I am relieved of the responsibility to know everything, Tristan. Indeed even in my current state of awareness, there is much I would wish to avoid.
Your extremely small sketch of an ever expanded multiverse is, I feel right all the way.
How you fuse these ideas in graphic form on the page gets my unreserved salutation.

The truth can be too hard to hear and know, at such times it is better unknown. When I learned music I was told that everything was timing and so it is with life as well. Most of us are not prepared for the truth (what ever it is). That is the reason that we learn little by little as we become prepared. Well written Tristan.

A great man once said. The truth is hidden under a bodyguard of lies.
I suspect in today\'s climate that much is true.
Sadly, you must start your day with nothing is the truth till you check it out.

Friendship said:
Well written, my friend, your poem revolves around feelings of self-loathing, isolation, and the struggle for recognition and validation in a world that often feels indifferent or dismissive. The subject matter delves into the speakerās internal conflict, highlighting their dissatisfaction with their appearance, their emotional state, and their relationships. The poem captures the essence of feeling overwhelmed and misunderstood, particularly in the face of unreciprocated feelings and the haunting presence of others\' indifference.

This captures the ache of being emotionally unheard and unseen with stark clarity. The \'mime\' metaphor is especially poignant
- expressing the frustration of being present, expressive, even generous, yet met with silence or indifference. Itās a quiet scream, beautifully restrained. Well written dearest Tittu ā¤ļøš¹ A fave š¹

As the years go by and friends pass on, you realise your own immortality is waning.
I remember my own father stopping going to funerals, and I\'m sure this is why.
Life and death, we\'re all in it.

The poem explores themes of loss, emotional isolation, and the struggle to connect with one\'s own feelings and those of others. The speaker grapples with the pain of losing friends and the resulting emptiness, as well as the difficulty of navigating their own emotional landscape.

The Sky
arqios said:
The āgreat fireballā feels like a metaphor for ultimate annihilation, whether thatās the sunās eventual death, human-caused catastrophe, or simply the inevitability of mortality. The contrast between the euphoric ātrip of a lifetimeā and the stark finality of āthere will be deathā makes the piece powerful. Itās almost like a reminder that joy and doom are intertwined, and that cycles of creation and destruction are inseparable. What I especially like is how the poem moves from the personal (a trip through the sky) to the universal (the end of all things). Itās both intimate and cosmic.

It\'s being so cheerful wot keeps you goingš
Got that kind of raw prophetic feel that I imagine could be found in the bible; but I don\'t know - they would have kept us away from passages like that at Sunday School (a little limited, but did try to be kind).
The effort you put into presentation, Tristan continues to call for a tribute - Here.
Thanks for the chance to read.
