liberated statue with
chain around the legs
share an act of kindness
give us free range eggs
who knows where it leads
when kids build rockets
role play robin hood then
line their own pockets
status wealth and power
display of egos round a table
come to senses if you dare
and are still somewhat able
the machinery of conflict
is greatest source of drama
to keep us on the edge of seats
and still wearing pajama

Hana, this poem offers a sharp and unfiltered look at the illusions we live with every day. Its movement from grand ideas to everyday details makes its message even stronger. I really appreciated how it challenges without preaching, just laying things out plainly and letting them speak for themselves.
I regularly review past and present poetry, and I’ve shared your poem here. I am looking forward to reading more of your work. Best, Adam
