It has always been this way
Recognition is bought not in deeds but in the currency of power
This is the same on all fields of battle, even poetry
And in their wisdom pidgins shit on our statues

Hilarious. 🌹
Thank you Teddy
Still searching for the best poop cleaner or an effective poop umbrella! Most definitely a Fave 🤩🕊️🙏🏻
Thank you so much Cryptic yes birds once seen as foretellers of the future and portents of ill still give guidance in their deposits. Your words are most appreciated.
Most welcome, Soren 🕊️🙏
A bollocks brolly! Order many, methinks! 🤣🤭🙃
Your poem "Fallen Honor" explores the notion that true recognition and honor are often overshadowed by the influence of power and politics. It suggests that achievements—whether in poetry or other fields—are often compromised by the societal and cultural forces that prioritize status over genuine merit.
Thank you Friendship you seem to have hit it on the mark. In our society honor is purchased.
As long as the pidgins don't s**t on us! Erm, it's a theme in some poets writings lately - the appearance of that stuff which we mustn't let hit the fan. Or if it does, be sure to be in the opposite direction to it. Oh, it's daft! lol.
Thanks Orchi I appreciate the words of wisdom. They say when pigs fly but when shit flies it is much worse and it draws flies.
Reminds me of that scene in the Mel Brooks film 'High Anxiety' with 'The Birds' spoof.
Well said.
Karma in a white drop. Thanks for the read and words of support.
It also annoys me when ever a 'Celebrity' writes a Novel; it gets published because of who they are. Book shelves here are full of them.
Worse yet people read them and the celebrity gains fame from a ghost written book
An absolute fave
Thank you Rebellion for the read and kindness
There is so much shit on this statue everything is starting to look a greenish-white. LOL! What a fantastic poem, Soren! Fantastic! Wow! 🤩 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks Tristan for your review and kind words.
Interesting.
Is it so in a spirit realm?
Or just in the world of matter?
Don't know haven't been there lately.
Was not expecting that last line...but it's true! What do we care about, really? Well done.
Thank you NinjaGirl for the read and comment. Yes little respect for what is purchased and not earned.
Yes, so true.
True words soren.
Andy
