Not the label sewn on the inside, but the hands that passed it down— Not the boots that walked first, but how far they let you roam. We measured riches in treehouse kingdoms, in second helpings, in stories from...

    How I wished these slaughters in the name of God had used their creativity on more meaningful and helpful projects than on satisfying their misogyny and there lust for power!

Pound Of Flesh

Numb from endless propaganda Trying to tell people what to think Subliminal messages everywhere Telling us to fight, fuck, or murder Information the new gold standard It’s lifeblood to a corporate vampire Controlling this narrative worldwide While collecting their pound of flesh Copyright @ Damian DeadLove 2024

  A powerful and thought provoking piece, dear Damian! Puppets on the string which move to every command of the puppeteer are easily to control…
  To follow the drum of your heartbeat was a good idea! Your free rhyming flows easily and naturally!

  Two verses yet they tell the whole truth…. I don’t know how the human mind and spirit will survive and deal with all these negative rushes all around and everywhere… The problem that even when You are conscious and doing what You should do, the environment around You is saying another thing, and we both know how the surrounding affects us and now we need extra extra work! Yes I do appreciate old times. Great write my friend.

  You know, the number of poetic rants I’ve written this year alone actually depresses me. It never seems to end. Spilling their lies and spewing their hate on the daily. Everyone I know is numb and fighting fatigue from it all. I’ll keep spilling truth if you do, my friend

    Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I know your pain, I have that same pain. That I wrote this in the summer of 2024 and it still works today is depressing indeed. Count me in, always willing to spill the truth my friend. Kindred Spirts! Appreciate you.
