    • That is spooky Daniel.;)_

    • I have seen my grandmother in my dreams. To see in real it’s scary. I liked the line to reign better than serve.

      My grandmother she is in her 87 yrs and constantly when I cry she says don’t cry for past your life is ahead go live.

      Now I still cry but my tears heavy they roll in my eyes falling drop by drop

    I miss carefree days
    …before smoke filled the air
    and storms battered us left and right
    (seems like now it’s a choice of extremes)
    …before fear of walking in daylight
    even worse at night
    …before being forced to carry my papers
    hoping they even give them a glance
    because there’s money to be made…

    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.

      • 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.
