Questions are a never ending spiral
Searching for answers can get crazy
Evil thoughts pulse until it goes viral
Tired ideas has made the vision hazy
Masks conceal the cruelest intentions
Orchestrated fear designed to control
Conflict feeds all these rising tensions
It’s systemic damage that takes it’s toll

“Masks conceal the cruelest intentions
Orchestrated fear designed to control”
Wow! This is a powerful statement that holds much truth! You just have to listen carefully to politicians. They tell you everything they intent to do, hidden between distracting words.
Brilliant work, Damian!

Okay, Prophet, you did it again. They only wear the mask long enough to lull the sheep. The wolves are out in force now, no masks. And you nailed this one like a jackhammer of Truth. I really wish you weren’t so deadly accurate…but here we are. That vault of yours must be packed with treasure, my friend
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Believe me I wish I wasn’t accurate. The wolves are taking everything that’s not nailed down. Including those boots we’re supposed to pull ourselves up with, we’re essentially strapless. lol. “Jackhammer of Truth” sounds like a possible song or album name. There are a couple of gems in there from time to time. I agree though the masks have been discarded. Always enjoy your commentary, sorry I tend to get you riled you up so often. lol. Appreciate you.

Tight, relentless lines. This feels like a pressure chamber where thought turns toxic and power hides behind masks. I like how the poem doesn’t over-explain—just lets the spiral speak for itself. Dark, current, and uncomfortably true.
