    The Proverbial Middle Finger

    Death clouds irritate a parched skyHuman parasites feast on liquid goldDismantled a dream with a blatant lieWorld keeps falling as hate takes hold Onward towards the spiritual divideImpossible to sit on the fence foreverLackluster jesters swallow their pride While the king...

    • Reminds me that Tom Petty quote “I did it because I had no choice’. Some of us poets just are built to write.

      Great ink

    • What Nick said is pretty spot on. We write because to do otherwise destroys us to some degree. We give it the middle finger because that’s all we can do. Point out the hypocrisy, the hatred, the corruption & the willful blindness in the only means open to us. Somebody asked me recently “Yeah, but aren’t you just preaching to the choir?” I’m always mindful of the fact that words are a wave…once released, who knows where they’ll stop? So yeah, keep bringing it, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s our voice, to not use it brings aggravation for sure. We writers are pretty good at detecting bullshit. To quote the late great, Lemmy Kilmister: “I will keep doing it, because I’m not qualified to do anything else.” Appreciate you.

    • Wow, this gives me a lyrical vibe. I love the, “but if she makes me wash the groceries again
      it’s not gonna be pretty.” I understand that threat. lol

      • Yeah, it was a wild time. I remember a guy coming up to me and saying “I fought in vietnam but at least we could see our enemies” haha.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. Feels like Deja Vu, your words took me back in time my friend. Great spill. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Definitely not the best of times. The years after for me were tough due to a snow ball of issues. But there was a lot that just was so weird I can’t help but laugh.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.
