    if you think about it... they don't have a lot of talent there's really only one color in their palette  and even that's growing thin so busy painting fences with their hatred they're not even trying to pretend hyper-focused on us vs them   (like there's really...

    • It has to taste unsavory indeed. No one wants to be led especially them. ;))

      • It’s the dangers of being in a herd of hateful bullies…they always want to be the one in charge. And they’re all being played like an organ. Those with any sense of decency are stepping off that fence these days. 🤦‍♀️

    • hello beautiful Willow I hate the division caused by everything… great write ❤️

      • I’m with you, Brenda. It tears at the spirit terribly. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • You wrote this so well that it will apply wonderfully to other madmen after the present madmen are gone.

      • I sometimes wonder who is more mad…the madmen leading or the madmen supporting them? Would the leaders have risen to the top without the ones lifting them up? Aggravating in the extreme. Reasoning has left the room. Thank you, Brandon

        • There is wonderful quote by Bertolt Brecht that I wish people would sit and ponder on: “Don’t yet rejoice in his defeat, you men! Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard, The bitch that bore him is in heat again.”

    • Brilliantly penned, Willow. Excellent write delivered with brutal honesty my friend. This one needs to be read out loud while sitting around the bonfire. Chef’s kiss! Appreciate you.

      • I’m stealing moments here and there to write these poetry month entries, but the bonfire is always burning. You wouldn’t believe the pile of wood I have waiting. Thank you, my friend 😊

    • It is strange how for some people their desire for easy, quick answer to complex problems fools them until reality sets in and they discover what their lack of understanding smacks them upside the head. I always found this pithy quote from MaoTse tung appropriate: “Nothing is hard in this world if you dare to scale the heights.” -Curt

      • Failing to look too far down the road will often result in a crash or a near crash. Immediate answers aren’t usually complete. Thank you, Curt

  • expulsion

    my hands fall off the keys
    music still hangin
    in the air above me
    but my body loses it
    bench shiftin underneath me
    legs forgettin where they belong

    and I drop

    knees crackin against the floor
    spine snappin
    as my head falls back
    eyes wide and mouth open
    that last note still ringin
    vibratin thru my bones
    holdin me…Read More
