Your words are so spot on regarding society's priorities in life...whether political or at a personal level...nice job conveying your thoughts..

In so many ways this is the great social disconnect. Everyone wants to be seen but not necessarily as they truly are. Good write. M.True

How dare he?!!

sounds like a whole lot of worry, well said.

The perils of both writing and reviewing; do we write true to the primary expression of an inspiration and sentiment or temper what finds its way onto the page in the light of how it might be received - and by whom? Always the dilemma, Kartero - even more so when there's people in particular whose opinion we care about (and who have a chance to express it on forums like these). Being such a vociferous wind-bag, I live always with the trepidation of getting it wrong. To say anything other than nothing at all often takes great courage but I guess we just have to live with the consequences - sometimes rewarding, sometimes frustrating - always intriguing! And thus we continue to dare on... :) xx

Hey Jude,
I don't know how I missed this one...Wow...
Very oxymoronic to say the least...At first I thought it was political, but then the last line blows your mind.
Nicely done!
Peace, light and love,

How dare he, indeed.

Expressive and accurate renderings of this gentleman.

Lady Mary Ann

I remember my dad saying to me quite a few times that I got to get my priorities str8 or in line or some such nonense...now that I got that out of the way & I realize it probably had nothing whatsoever to do with your poem, Bob, but I just had to say it because the title sparked it in my mind...now I forgot what I was going to say with regards your poem, but I liked it even though I can't remember...damn short term memory loss...maybe I will remember it the next time I re-read it, but of course by then I won't be able to comment on it again, oh well, have a good weekend either way...Peace, buddy, -e-

Beautiful poetry

I like this. You play cat-and-mouse with both your readers and the one to who$m the poem was addressed. A good picture of what's going on onside your heads.

Take care,

A very interesting write. I could see different meanings in this one wrtie. Very well done.

It feels perhaps someone is not big on sharing passion with anyone but the one . But the gist of this could be : how could you dare think I would.
