However difficult the circumstances people will always rise. They are indomitable. The flower analogy is quite perfect!

How well you describe life's journey -
Your descriptions of the varying emotions from denial to acceptance are second to none.
A very clever poem.

Heart-breaking reality Stephen.
But here, in this bastion of free speech and so-called "western civilisation", journalists who tell us that truth are being harrassed, and imprisoned, their means to earn a living being confiscated, at the behest of a terrorist genocidal state which is Israel.

Those in the UK government who are responsible for allowing such horrors to continue are nothing but morally bankrupt criminals.

The last line, with its rhyme, concludes this poem perfectly, Marla. Like a package tied with a perfect bow, it fits the verse exactly.

I coulda been a contender
forever out on a bender
much pilloried and lambasted
'cause I'm always getting wasted
all for that ten minutes of fame
and then they just forget your name.

Like this one Tom! 👍

A strong poem with a sense of foreboding and a powerful warning to respond or disappear without trace.

"See the men with bloody tongues
that strike out truth
were e're it comes."

This poem is written with a heartfelt passion that chills the soul.

Thanks, John. From what I understand, the word 'Hulat' is probably a dialect form of 'owlet', refering to a small owl, three of which are to be found on the Savile coat of arms.
