    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

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Huge respect for, Petty. To quote Lemmy Kilmister: “I’m not qualified to do anything else.” Appreciate you.

    • Superb work. You nailed it.

    • Creativity is the proverbial finger…Nice.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I think so.. lol. Appreciate you.

    • 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.

    • Those are some killer lyrics. Maybe you’ll find the right fit one day.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Who knows, maybe someday they’ll find a home. Appreciate you.

    • ” karma is my personal retreat ”

      That hit on a whole nother level, D.
      This entire vibe sparked a mood. Got me going into the archives

      Much respect

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Naaj. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. That was a pretty good line, there are some good writes hidden in the archives. Appreciate you.

    • This wasn’t a match. This is good and should have been put as a single alone.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. It happened a lot with, Joey G, that’s probably not shocking to anyone who knows our history. lol. Appreciate you.

    • hello dearest Damian vey powerful lyrics…I wonder how AI could help your realize this song putting music to your lyrics 💕

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I’m thinking about using my GarageBand app to maybe put some music to some songs. Maybe this should be a frontrunner for music. Thank you for your support. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Honestly, I would buy an album of songs with lyrics only written by you. Im not even going to try & pin a favorite line. This one is full of them. 2012? Are you sure you’re not a prophet? Im gonna start tracking what you’re saying, I swear, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I am thinking when school starts back up of possibly arranging some musical ideas, using the GarageBand software. We’ll see how it goes. lol. I miss being in the studio, and using the producer side of my brain. I learned a lot working on “Heartstrings” it consumed 3 1/2 years of my life. I have no crystal ball, nor do I have any superpowers that I’m aware of, unless being a Pisces is a prophetic sign of sorts. lol. By all means keep track, maybe you’ll discover my secret, though I truly don’t know that I have one. But I’m always accepting help in figuring out why I do what I do. Appreciate you.

    • Love the fact you guys had a record.
      I can see where the bass could have been played with the pain the pain, the pain
      Good write here.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I used AI to make the artwork. We had a few tracks on a cassette at one time. lol. I can’t remember the music to this one anymore, the lyrics are all that remain. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Great lyrics. You can feel the suffering within the worlds. I always like a good collaboration.

    • This reminds me so much of my early writing. Back when I was accused of being morbid. It comes as it comes, doesn’t it? Sign of a great collaboration when you can no longer remember who wrote what. This one stirs in the back of my mind. Out of curiosity, how many songs/lyrics does your catalog contain? Im looking forward to seeing more, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Our lives mirror each other a lot, is what I’m thinking. I was accused of the same. It became my calling card. lol. It was only my second collaboration ever. Quite a few actually, now not all of them got music, I usually tell that in the summary. At one time I kept count of possible ideas. I had over 500 when I stopped keeping count. Now not all are great, some I won’t share because I’m not the person who penned those songs anymore. And I was in a horrible place, it’s actually painful to read some of them. A writer leaves breadcrumbs in their work. As a writer I tend to document my life. lol. Appreciate you.
