    • I wonder what exactly the reason for that is…
      I think politically…and all those afraid to stand up against the King.

      • So much information in our hands, so much time spent looking at our phones, never stopping to think deeply, before the next wave of information.

        Thanks for reading and commenting.

    • There are so many ways to take this…I like when a statement makes you think.

    • I feel that you pulled a lot of Greek mythology inspiration here? I could be wrong. I like the piece

      • Greco-Roman culture & philosophies, plus some New Testament references. Legionnaires, Roman soldiers with a particular skill at building roads, were not paid in gold but salt, which is where we derive the word ‘salary’. That might be somewhat of an urban legend, but it seems to be at least rooted in truth.

        Great eye again, thank you!!

    • I think many of us feel like machines. We work 9-5 jobs…like factory work, restaurant work…I did both.
      Watched the clock…tried to have fun, but machines don’t laugh or cry.
      This poem has a sense of rhythm that matches that routine…and the rhyme scheme is subtle but smart.

      Really enjoyed and felt this read….related from my days before I got lucky and found teaching.
