Face it

hzugman

Don't run away from problem's woes

They're often our best teachers

Either give them your best of shows

Or go sit in the bleachers

    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.
