For anyone reading and interested in checking out the research:
Here is where you can find the full Billy Graham quote taken from a crusade he held in Denver, CO in 1987:
\"I\'m trying to stay out of it and just keep preaching the gospel, because there\'s nothing coming out of Washington or any of those places that are going to save the world or transform men and women. It\'s Christ.\" — Billy Graham,
https://youtu.be/fxmkczQfq58?si=kQCgGproj0O00ny9&t=1687
I also quoted Franklin Graham in an August 14, 2024 tweet on X (formerly Twitter), where he said: \"The liberals are using anything and everything they can to promote candidate Harris. They even developed a political ad trying to use my father @BillyGraham\'s image. They are trying to mislead people. Maybe they don\'t know that my father appreciated the conservative values and policies of President @realDonaldTrump in 2016, and if he were alive today, my father\'s views and opinions would not have changed.\"
This can be found: https://x.com/Franklin_Graham/status/1823870957259309221
And of course, I quoted the KJV of Revelation 2:4-5:
\"Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.\"
I wrote this poem in a way that juxtaposes Franklin Graham\'s more politically-charged focus with his father\'s clear, and well-articulated position of \"staying out\" of partisan politics and sticking preaching the Gospel, which he was well-known and well-respected for doing. This juxtaposition, along with the addition of Scripture, makes up the critique.

Silent Screams of the Butterfly

The alliteration in the second half had me--butterflies have a special place in my heart. This poem is truly one of the best ones I\'ve ever read. You are quite the talented writer and it\'s amazing.

Hi Tristan, I read the poem several times. Each stanza painted vivid picture and the last stanza brought them together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzles falling in right places to make a whole. Loved it so much. Thanks for sharing Bhaskar

rebellion_in_sanity said:
Hi Tristan, I won\'t make an attempt at using adjectives to describe my feelings while reading the poem - perhaps saying it drew me into the vortices of the torment would suffice. The combination of brevity and adornment and absence of artificial portrayal make this poem a hard hitter. Thank you for sharing. Regards Bhaskar

Snow Globe
orchidee said:
Can we pinpoint just what, or who, are the basis of our fear, or fears? That\'s surely some step, or steps, to overcoming them.
It seems to me, it\'s like each time that snow globe is shaken, the fears shake up, are fluttered, etc, to agitate, disturb, cause us to be anxious.
We\'re getting psychological now!

A personal write?
Bit of a silly aside, if it wasn\'t such a serious theme: I don\'t fancy experiencing \'torturous\', but I don\'t suppose any of us do!

Cheeky Missy said:
Inspired by Edgar Alan Poe indeed! The pit and the pendulum in a remarkably shortened version. My la! Fascinating and macabre, ghastly yet seeming half beautiful with excellent imagery and an appropriately horrifying poignancy.

Our Bitter End
Dan Williams said:
Wow. You make me in my resident gloom seem almost cheerful. You are right, the cost of living is death. Pretty much all we can do is try to make the best of it, play with the cards we are dealt. Nice work here.
