Fallen honor

sorenbarrett

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

          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.

                  • sorenbarrett

                    Worse yet people read them and the celebrity gains fame from a ghost written book

                        Interesting.
                        Is it so in a spirit realm?
                        Or just in the world of matter?

                        • sorenbarrett

                          Don't know haven't been there lately.

                                      My wife always said I was a drooler

                                      I felt this one. Recognition these days is more about status than substance.
