    Tears of Sorrows

    I send my consciousness to the edge of outer space Looking down upon all of this From a higher place Place of a poet Place of poetry Place above loud- clouds, vapors& whispersPlace to place all thoughts& Cares. Placed there for the there-there. When the bomb falls in a song or psalm and folks tell folks. There-thereThe...

    • What Nick said is pretty spot on. We write because to do otherwise destroys us to some degree. We give it the middle finger because that’s all we can do. Point out the hypocrisy, the hatred, the corruption & the willful blindness in the only means open to us. Somebody asked me recently “Yeah, but aren’t you just preaching to the choir?” I’m always mindful of the fact that words are a wave…once released, who knows where they’ll stop? So yeah, keep bringing it, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s our voice, to not use it brings aggravation for sure. We writers are pretty good at detecting bullshit. To quote the late great, Lemmy Kilmister: “I will keep doing it, because I’m not qualified to do anything else.” Appreciate you.
