The human condition. I wrote this after watching the news. I rarely watch TV let alone the news. When I want to remember the world is in trouble I can take a walk just outside to the nearest corner and view the downfall of western civilization. If you are still reading this thank you and God Bless

I try to stay away from watching such garbage. Man or Woman it is right in front of us. A lot of problems without solutions, the human condition.
Thank you for the great review.
Are you a fan of a band called Tool by any chance?

I am a "Pink Floyd or Metallica " girl. So what is it about this piece that makes you say that ?

Profound and ominous write and images. So relevant and resonant. We are caged, bar-coded and conditioned for violence, a nasty, lethal mixture. Is it a bleak episode, or is it the end? Excellent, eloquent, impassioned poem.
A brilliant piece sheerterror. I always like how you see the world that way.
Sincerely,

This entire piece is truth - unvarnished yet eloquent, slightly vague but no mistaking who:
I. Loved. This.
Truest words: "this path of no resistance
is the wicked path at our insistence"
We assume others will fight the good fight, but there are never enough. I honestly believe that 100 men standing up are 100 times more powerful than 1 organization of 100 men. The solitary man standing up for right should be an inspiration. Unfortunately, the powers that be will discredit him by any means possible, and the masses, tired and confused, allow it.
Awesome piece, hands down the best I've read in a while.

This piece stems from the news playing in the background as I was working on something else. I find the news and politics unbearable its all lies and propaganda.
This is heavily influenced by and dedicated to the lies and propaganda vomiting from the television.
Thank you Carole for taking the time and leaving such an extraordinary review.
The human condition is not so much to live as long as possible, but to outlive everyone else. We protect our thoughts and ideas by all means necessary, at the cost of creating a more open and supportive society. I, too, almost never watch the news because it will upset me about the state of the world.
When logic conquers emotion and hope overrules fear, maybe things will be better.

generation coming up take the next step and live in a state of indifference and tolerance. Thank you for taking the time to read and leave a review.
we should learn from history....and instead we just repeat the rage, the hate----the divisions....humanity keeps suffering and only we have the power to stop it and create peace...
an important write here.

poverty. the lack of resources can lead a man to acts unthinkable for survival to addictions for temporary peace of mind. These circumstances leave us vulnerable to the shine or power of the rise and fall of leaders wanting to belong to a better way. The path of no resistance is the wicked path at our insistence. There is so much to be said and done for man to find his grace. Thank you for reading and leaving a review.
Your words are filled with real and life and truth my friend.
"The fall of one
The march of another
Until we no longer struggle "
When we all become sheep. What will be left? Powerful and worthwhile words written. Better to be the free beast than the cattle led to the slaughter. Thank you my friend for sharing the outstanding poetry.
