      What We Show

      Not one for hiding behind ghosts Illusions manifest with each voice Only a fool would doom his hosts While denying another of a choice   So unsettled from never knowing Being unable to reason with guilt Shadows on the wall are growing   Coming to poison what...

      • ” Shadows on the wall are growing

        Coming to poison what God built ”

        Those words were written with a hammer and chisel.

        Dope overall vibe
        Diggin the positive outro, brother…

        Much respect

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Naaj. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I dig those lines as well. Thank you for your continued support my brother. Appreciate you.

      • Sigh…where to start? I agree with Naaj up there. 👆 Those lines are definitely carved in granite. There’s a loss of humanity occurring on so many levels today. AI is replacing human labor, taking human paychecks and means of living. But AI does what man tells it. It’s not out there knocking on doors and handing out resumes. It’s the greed of man dehumanizing their fellows that’s doing the damage. The fact that we have a deranged overstuffed cheese puff feeding frenzy to his blind acolytes speaks volumes for the state of man’s moral compass right now. Every decision they’re making is destructive…to the earth (our host) and to its guests (us and wildlife). Yeah, I got rolling but this one took me to so many places. Keep carving those lines, my friend, and I’m sure I’ll keep ranting

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Like I told Naaj, I love those lines as well. I agree with you as I tend to do, I saw a story today where Chat GPT is causing people to commit crimes and hurt others and themselves. It needs to be regulated at the very least, but that ain’t happening with the Cheeto in power. These tech bros are accessories to the most corrupt regime after all. Man’s moral compass is damn near broken. lol. Always enjoy your commentary, even though I get you riled up. Appreciate you.

      On the outside,sometimes her eyes are full of life.Full of happiness.Or devoid of life,in the starry might. Sometimes they twinkle and glow.Sometimes she breaks down and tears flow.But if you look closer just one day. You'll find emptiness,but not all the...

      • Beautifully penned, Amethyste. Excellent write my friend, alone time is important sometimes. Appreciate you.

      • Chère A.,
        Short and sweet.
        It resonates with me a lot.
        Saturday night at the movies was replaced with FRIMIBO (Dutch for Friday Afternoon Drinks).
        And then, as more and more people stopped working in the office on Fridays, to DOMIBO. Thursday afternoon alcoholic with colleagues.

        I like a bit of fun very much, but after that I increasingly long for some peace and quiet.

        And you made me aware of that again.
        Wonderful write!
        More more more! (Please).
        Warm regards, Gus;

      • Thank you Gus. Happy holidays.
