  problem is, dear poet
  as a consequence of modernity's progression
  'seating on the bleachers'
  is becoming a viable option for far too many
  and thus, rather than be inspired by your wise, challenging words
  purposed to be engaging and inspire
  I fear majority, will read them as reinforcement
  for their choice to withdraw themselves
  from society's battle fields
  but you see
  having a customised utopian-like
  self-secluding civilisation
  devoid of fighting mentality's
  is all fine, until
  fate, plants an invasion army
  at our gates
  and then our collective option
  would be to open and submit
  without even challenging our leadership's decisions;
  maybe
  something like being caged in our
  homes for two and a half years
  on the premise of a virus
  that more than half the world withstood
  without barely pausing
  to acknowledge its impact
  let alone four rounds of enforced injections...
  and watching-on as the world
  says nothing about its origins
  or any action taken to prevent it
  from happening again?!
  (well that or all-out anarchy
  insuring we make those dystopian
  movies
  a reality)
  So yes
  'Face it' is a great message
  sadly, I fear its true message will be lost
  to modernity's, trepidation seeped translations
  (forgive me for my lengthy words
  I lack the intellect to refine my thoughts succinctly like you do)
  thanks for sharing

  Hi L. B.
  I appreciate the time and thought that your put into your response. (I read your comment twice.) Truly poems can be interpreted in many different ways and to be interpreted at all is a compliment.
