      Orchestrated fear designed to control”
      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!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Two of my favorite lines as well. Exactly, they tell a lot these days. It’s all hidden in plain sight. Appreciate you.

    • Not only true enough but my word yours here look so pretty sitting on their very own page .. Neville

    • Fantastic, Damian!

    • Phenomenal piece Damian. Makes ya think. Powerful write my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m always trying to evoke thought brother. lol. Appreciate you.

    • 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.

        Damian

    • 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.

    • Nice! Tightly done yet with a bullseye message. The rhymes are perfect, too. Excellent write Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I try.. Thanks for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    • You were ahead of your time, Damian. This applies today as if it was written yesterday. Great poem!

    • yes, Willow, I will walk with you and everyone here wherever the trail may go. Incredible, inspiring write, and much needed read on this first day of the poetic year!

      with heartfelt thanks
      Clay

      • We need community and hope more than ever these days. If the fire burns low, we’ll just gather more kindling. Thank you, Clay

    • hello beautiful Willow this is very uplifting the current climate of fear is getting to me I fear a lot…this put my mind at peace❤️

      • We have to take the moments one breath at a time these days, and build our community so strong we hold each other up. They’re doing their best to bring us down. Gotta keep the fires of hope burning 🧡

    • This is such a beautiful song. Very powerful and you are absolutely right, we need community. Thank you for this.

    • Brilliantly penned, Willow. Now that’s a bonfire! Excellent lyrics with an amazing musical arrangement. Really liked the drums in this my friend. That third stanza worked as a bridge, I really loved the build to that moment, the bridge brought it all home. It was also the heaviest part of the song with the drums working like exclamation points to your words. When my brother was a drummer in a certain band, I often referred to him as: “The Human Exclamation Point.” Drummers help put emphasis on lyrics in my opinion. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Drums are the beat we march to. Definitely the punctuation. I think I wanted a strong drum rhythm there to keep the energy building, keep the fire burning and hope going. Thank you, my friend. I’ll be bringing wood as needed to keep it going

    • This feels like walking alongside the poem itself—hand in hand through both shadow and light. I love how it turns struggle into hope, and hope into a quiet, unshakable victory.

      • So often we have to transition from one emotion and strength to the next. We’ve just endured one helluva year and we gotta build ourselves up and hold to our community to get through the upcoming days, but we can do it and come out the other side. Thank you, Thomas 🧡

    • Yes I will walk together with you and in hand, dear Willow, and burn yesterday’s pain to substitute it with new hope which you inspire so brilliantly with this masterpiece!

      • I think we’re long overdue. And we’ll need another infusion before long, I’m sure. I needed to rest my lungs from screaming. I’m sure I’ll be screaming again in a minute, but right here, right now, we need to build the fire. Thank you, Elke 🧡

    • The unifying spirit of this song reaches beyond the soul. Very beautiful.

      Much respect

      Naaj

      • Community is all we have these days. So…we need to build it as strong as possible. Thank you, Naaj

    • Awwwwwwww nice!
      This is like sugar for day old coffee, making it tolerable. Like a rare seashell after the bombardment of the ocean’s waves.
      Thank you for this treasure of a poem. It’s a gem.

    • This is not only poetry but something else beside .. I could probably both read and listen to it pretty much round the clock .. Neville 😎💛⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌻👍

      • Trust me, I wrote the thing and there have been days when I did listen to it on repeat. I’ll be blowing the place up with rants, but I’m keeping this fire going. Thank you, Neville 🧡
