Powerfully penned, 253. Into the book it belongs! Dude, this is my kind of write. Spitting facts with this one and the last stanza drove the stake through the heart of their corruption. I can’t pick a favorite line they are all fucking amazing. Take a bow my friend, epic write. Appreciate you.

Well, Dear Poet 😳
Talk about eye-opening for the everyday Joe, awakening for the lethargic unaware … precisely, the kind of diatribe we should all hear, agree with, and ascribe to (not only Americans, but all countryfolk of every race, culture, and creed). I wish there were functional ways to predict how our politicians will end-up acting when/before we vote them into office.
Powerfully and candidly spake, indeed … wish I possessed the literary skill and wherewithal consciousness enough to invoke such palpably stunning truths!
With a vibrantly impacting voice like yours, who needs punctuation? LOL!
Your impacting verbiage brings so vividly to mind those deeply passionate war protests of the ’60s.I hope the value of your words’ll stick with me and come to mind at the right times.
Thank you for sharing! ⁓ Richard🖌“men in suits lyin thru perfect fuckin teeth
smilin while the country bleeds out slow
they cut us up
sell us back the pieces
wrap it in a flag
call it freedom”((( DAMN, 253!!! )))

Well, in this particular piece, the lines were short and less complex, and enjamned in such a way you got by without proper grammar, but there are times when your readers will be less confused with proper directives included in a poem’s more complex diction.
If you should ever need a friendly hand with punctuation, I’ll always be around. : )

I enjoyed the back and forth.
I could recognize both of your styles while reading!
Great collaboration -
Powerfully penned, 253 & Fia. Excellent collaboration you two, the back and forth created such an intense tension in the dialogue. Appreciate you, both.

“PHEW!!!” 😳
A phenomenal work, by two master raconteurs engaged in a seamlessly harmonious flow of futilely controversial “give ‘n take” combat, leading naught but to eventual death. BUT, what a ride until arrival … WOW!
You two pulled ouit all the stops,virtually singing the sensitive layers off my bardically envious receptors; I mean, who wouldn’t wish they could write like THAT … sheesh, You Two!!!
Creative, original, and without doubt a piece to stash away for many rereads.
I could keep pontificating over this concerted effort, but lest I wear my welcome thin, let me close with a genuinely sincere, “Thanks for the privilege, Fia ‘n Dru.”Gobsmacked! ⁓ Richard🖌

I said I don’t do this. poems that behave
that count their beats and beg to sound profound
but here I am the fool you couldn’t save
all rhyme and reason. love still hangin roundI hate this form. it’s polished. cold. confined
like scrubbin blood just so it stains again
I tell myself to leave your heart behind
but every line just drags…Read More -

Powerful writing.
The truth is,that we are complicit in the disaster unfolding across the world.The powerful will keep us separated and distracted so they can get whatever they want.Divide and conquer…..classic.
