      Someday Soon

      Desperation fuels chaos in the streets While false idols continue to make war Honest poets keep writing the receipts That’s right we’ve been keeping score   Someday soon judgment catches us all Pride hits hardest when forced to crawl   Evil people are cowards speaking in lies Hiding...

      • Raise a marshmallow to soon! It’s well past time. And again, another one that fits as well as the day it was mused, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Raising a marshmallow to soon! Unfortunately it fits because things have gotten worse, but us poets and poetesses are quite good at keeping account of all the receipts. Appreciate you.

      • Great piece Damian. You’re the spokesperson for the demise of our country. This piece is remarkable.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Oh no! You mean I’m the deliverer of bad news? lol. Appreciate you.

      • Powerful work, my friend. Excellent.

      • While false idols continue to make war, this work summons a Jesus who refuses salvation and a Non‑Jesus who refuses erasure. They move like twin shadows, circling the wound the world keeps reopening. Nothing here seeks redemption. Instead, the performance asks who is allowed to carry a name that has been used to bless both mercy and violence. The ritual is not an answer, it is a reckoning.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s a deep analysis brother. Appreciate you.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brandon. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

      • Another great piece my friend. It’s a madness that doesn’t seem to end.

    • Honor, Respect, Loyalty

      Honor was not just a word 

      It was inner compass

      Felt deep within

      Respect is earned

      Not demanded like a spoiled brat

      Given willing

      Loyalty is fleeting

      What once was sort out

      Is now blown away like a puff of smoke

    • April 15th – The Hour of Blocks, Locks, and the Moon That Refuses

      April 15th strikes
      not like a day
      but like an hour:
      15th o’clock,
      a time that does not exist
      and yet insists on happening.

      It arrives as a block,
      a solid interruption
      in the flow of April,
      a square of time
      that refuses to melt
      into the rest of the month.

      Then c…Read More
