Scary words. I hope you\'re not sincere. As a poem some clever images (judging every tree, swinging feet, breathless beat, rotting meat). Stick around and write more. - Phil A.

Have you by chance become a mind reader? And if so could you send this poem to my therapist? ;)
Either way- beautiful piece and best of luck on your next work

Anxiety
Jeffrey Weese said:
The poem is suffused with a sense of relentless tension, dread, and a longing for relief. The persistent use of disquieting imagery – poison dart, shattering shards, voices far from divine – successfully embodies the intrusive and destructive nature of anxiety.
What I feel as I read this poem is a deep sense of empathy. It is saddening to visualize the struggle of a mind in such conflict, trying to escape from itself. The yearning expressed in the last two stanzas, a longing for a time of peace, resonates profoundly, further enhancing the poem\'s poignant effect.
Yet, there is a bitter beauty to be found in this raw articulation of emotional pain. The poem\'s strength lies in its ability to communicate such a deeply personal experience, allowing others to empathize and perhaps feel less alone in their own struggles. -jw

I Am
L. B. Mek said:
I am:
\'Impassioned frustration, witnessing
so many waste - this gifted opportunity
by outsourcing their blame
and importing, comforting excuses
to the blatant fact:
that We each, have only ourselves to fault
when we Choose, to give-up and surrender
allowing ourselves, to be treated
as mere vote puppets
by the poisonous minority, we defer-to willingly
to feign ignorance, when they manipulate our lives
on the basis, of some strangers ticking boxes
in those cesspool ballot boxes...\'
(thanks for sharing, a much needed
wake-up call, of a write)

Existence
L. B. Mek said:
\'Life, it seems
Likes hurting me
I don\'t know how to stop it.
Serenity is ever lost on me
It swirls tantalizingly around\'
\'Nary a missed opportunity to laugh
Squarely scribbled on my epitaph
This is the way she goes,
The fickle mistress we call existence\'
\'We all strive for knowledge
The cause for our endless blunder
We scratch and claw
Dispatched, foresaw
That we\'ll never sate our hunger.\'
(might have been easier to just highlight
your whole poem at this rate, lol
an unashamedly honest, yet measured write
showcasing that powerfully resolute voice
resonating fluently, through your eloquent poetry!
a great read, thanks for sharing dear poet)

Good Intentions
L. B. Mek said:
\'Bliss still not seen!\'
yup, that\'s the root cause of dysfunctionality
where there is no comprehension
of exactly how much consumption
is entailed in our strive
for all that fantastically unachievable greed!
we need to teach the valour
in acceptance and humility
at school level, comprehensively
to have any hope of countering
the poisonous certainty
of our capitalist ideology...!
a unique write, full of great insight
thanks for sharing, dear poet
(and thanks for inspiring
my little scribbled reply)

That is terribly hard to take, despite that there’s a large truth buried in your piece, though not so deep that it doesn’t spill out on the page.
A muscular heavy duty write. Thanks

\'Death\'s ever present persistence,
Never knowing stifle.
Most couldn\'t say
Which this tallage ekes to be.
Why does energy, so real
Require death\'s insistence?
Wherever lives, the end is vital
So quoth, to much dismay,\'..
thought provoking, with profound insight,
a labyrinth of a read, but very much
worth the investment, in time;
a hint - maybe...

Wonderfully expressed, that anger is there amongst many people but needs to be gathered into a system that can create a good world without spreading any blood over it.

Great to witness anger so articulately expressed.
I don’t think the situation you very clearly describe is exclusively an American phenomenon – and I’m not excluding the other anglophone countries here.

\'Divide and conquer!
So Only the rich will prosper!
Herd the sheep, sort by color,
(so) they can never know they\'re brothers
(and sisters or others more marginalised by society).
(and try as they might, they always fail)
(to) Kill the lovers!\'
Amen!
what a great message, dear poet
we must always: \'fight, the good fight\'!
though, checking ourselves continuously
through our outlook of humility and empathy
so we can, ask:
\'grant us
the serenity to accept the things \'We\' cannot change
courage, to change the things \'We\' can
and (most importantly)
Wisdom to Know the Difference.\'
(there-in exists the pertinent, difference
between David Thoreau, Gandhi, Martin Luther\'s
defiance within: \'Civil Disobedience\'
and modernity\'s, ideology of totalitarian liberalism
futile nihilism fuelled: as all-out Anarchy
warping, ever-more divisive activism)
at least for me...

when those easily - fed, lies
fit too well
in that doomsday of virtue signalling
victimhood
I would first ask, just for the sake of it
am I
the only one to feel this way?
if not

without
adding, to the collective orchestra
of society\'s
doom and all-things gloom: easy-fit
of a narrative...
