Don’t paint me with your brush
When you can’t begin to understand
Does it give you some kinda rush?
Helping build this arrogant brand
I’m going to end this torment
Suffocate the chain of command
Darkness that once laid dormant
As corruption resides over land
Death follows lost souls around
Till we’re ten feet underground
Think you can predict the future?
With influence reaching far
Tainting everything once pure
Revealing another nasty scar
I’ve grown immune to such hate
Burning every single bridge down
Let’s just get this fucking straight
Beware of this suit wearing clown
Games that’s all these people play
Sliding deeper into obscure decay

You have a very firm inner voice in this piece.
It’s truly exquisite and impressive in its own way.
I admire the delicate flow of each stanza.
You have a strong, masculine presence. And I can sense it throughout this poem.
A pleasure to read and take in. x

Oh! This needs to be on the album! There’s so much truth in this and then that blast of “come to Jesus” as my grandma used to say, near the end. I don’t remember this one, but a year and a half later it’s still just as relevant. Things have gotten worse, but truth still rings through loud and clear for those willing to listen. Powerfully written, my friend
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It was already in consideration for the album. lol. Unfortunately things have gotten worse that’s for sure, but I’m stubborn, so I don’t plan to stop writing about these assholes anytime soon. I always enjoy your commentary and the continued support my friend. Appreciate you.

There’s a raw fire in this—anger sharpened into something honest, even when it burns bridges on the way out.
I like the grit of it… you’re not asking to be understood, just refusing to be painted by someone else’s dirty brush.
