      Wow! This is a powerful statement that holds much truth! You just have to listen carefully to politicians. They tell you everything they intent to do, hidden between distracting words.
      Brilliant work, Damian!

    • Okay, Prophet, you did it again. They only wear the mask long enough to lull the sheep. The wolves are out in force now, no masks. And you nailed this one like a jackhammer of Truth. I really wish you weren’t so deadly accurate…but here we are. That vault of yours must be packed with treasure, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Believe me I wish I wasn’t accurate. The wolves are taking everything that’s not nailed down. Including those boots we’re supposed to pull ourselves up with, we’re essentially strapless. lol. “Jackhammer of Truth” sounds like a possible song or album name. There are a couple of gems in there from time to time. I agree though the masks have been discarded. Always enjoy your commentary, sorry I tend to get you riled you up so often. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Tight, relentless lines. This feels like a pressure chamber where thought turns toxic and power hides behind masks. I like how the poem doesn’t over-explain—just lets the spiral speak for itself. Dark, current, and uncomfortably true.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m a believer of letting the reader fill in the gaps with their thoughts and where the write takes them. Thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    The de facto US national motto "E pluribus unum" (Out of many, one) was changed by Congress in 1956 to the official 'In God We Trust'.Laughable that God's name is printed on all US currency when the Bible tells...

    • Powerfully penned, Peter. Excellent write my friend, also thanks for the history. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

      • Thanks Damian.

        I’m not American or a believer in God but the change in motto reflects the change in America.A country that once accepted the hungry,the tired,the persecuted now turns it’s back on them…..bet if they were billionaires they’d be welcomed with open arms.
        👍

        • Completely agree with you my friend. It almost foreshadows the Christian Nationalist movement going on in this country right now. America has turned heel. To use pro wrestling lingo. Appreciate you.

    • Great piece Peter. Well researched and enlightening.

    Light and Shadow

    When she walks on by that is beautiful. With something about her, I cannot ignore. My eyes follow her blinklessly into blinding light. With something about her, I can gaze. Her perfect form eclipses the sunlight, and I am cast...
