              This poem reflects on a life journey, drawing a metaphorical line from the mythological underworld (the river Styx) to the idyllic afterlife (Elysium) and highlighting the innocence of childhood (kindergarten) as a foundational stage of this journey. The journey of life is a continuous educational experience, suggesting that every stage—from childhood to the afterlife—is part of an ongoing learning process.

                  So much schooling, never enough time.

                      Probably why I got expelled early. lol

                      Indeed! Brilliantly short, witty, and well...yeah...it lands with a punch! It's the like the one-liner of poems, but not cliché in the slightest! Brilliance! Oh...and congrats on graduating! 🤣 All jokes aside, this is absolutely a fave, dear Soren! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                          Hey, today (local time) Oz has (I'm told) legislated the first in the world (I'm told) ban on social media for children under the age of 16. The world (I'm told) is watching and may, (I'm told) follow suit. Fair warning? Hate to see you left high and dry without at least some form of contingency plan, Soren......

                          • sorenbarrett

                            It's okay Dave you can't believe anything on the internet anyway so nothing lost. Thanks for the read and comment my friend
