Comment from Mark Jackson
This poem is a powerful and unflinching portrayal of the harsh realities of urban life, exploring themes of poverty, despair, and the human capacity for cruelty and indifference. Divided into two parts, it paints a vivid picture of a city consumed by decay and suffering, where the homeless and destitute are left to fend for themselves amidst the relentless onslaught of urban decay.
Overall, this poem is a searing indictment of the injustices and inequalities that plague modern society, offering a poignant reminder of the need for compassion, empathy, and social justice. It is a powerful and evocative piece of writing that demands to be read and reckoned with.

This is a very thought provoking poem.
It brings a lot of pictures to minds eyes of the travesties of war happening all around our world.... countless of men, women and children left dead, dying or homeless.
Nearer to home, we find an abundance of men, women and children roaming our American streets, living in roadside shantytowns or tents due current economical wars.
We can only do our best to be the ones who remain to try and change these travesties somehow, someway.... Where'd we go wrong... where is that golden ticket or ring to gradp hold of to maje it all go away...

Homeless people with mental diseases
Ukraine and Israel wars are awful. The videos of war casualties break my heart, children are the worse. I don't know what's the right answer.
Excellent imagery of the horrors of war.
The self called "good Christians" call themselves worthy yet turn away good deeds
My catholic school teachers scared the shit out of me with pictures of hell. Not a Christian thing to do.

As I read this well-deserved sixth or piece the first thing I started nose was the definition of this and the great objective contents as you describe things in great detail and then you started to describe the Earth in the past with your pain as you grass but the question is this doesn't still persist and will it continue to last thanks for just talked to Ricky 1024

Comment from Rasmine
Hello, Tom,
I think this is really good and dark. It speaks a truth that is so damn true:
And now we fight two futile wars abroad
As homeless multiply across our lands.
Moronic men claim war inspired by God;
No Gods come forth to verify their stands
I just pray and hope that this changes.
Part II gets pretty dark.
Still really good and emotion sparking.
Take care,
Nome
