This took me so many places. From countless hours watching MTV to meeting, speaking with & shaking hands with the reporter from South Africa who was friends with Stephen Biko…the movie Cry Freedom. I had forgotten that White Lion did a song about apartheid with a similar title to the movie. Some truly incredible talent blossomed & hit the scene in the 80s. I’m so glad you’re highlighting them, my friend

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the story my friend. It’s a great song, actually. I vaguely remember that movie, Stephen Biko? Oh yes, Peter Gabriel, had a song called: Biko. You can see the issues of the time, writers make that happen. Yes, the 80’s get a bad rap sometimes, when it was actually a really creative era. Your welcome.. Appreciate you.

hello dearest Damian in my pursuit for answers I have sometimes bitten off more than I could chew and got answers that were more than I could bear…this is very deep my friend only those of us who have faced this with our questions will get it great write

I think that is a sign of a good poem when you can read your work and get a different thought from it. Nicely done.
-
I hate sitting and thinking too much. Because then I start over thinking and that just is never good haha. Wonderful poem. It does gives you a different view with each read.

Am I the only one who asks questions & finds the answers only inspiring more questions? Old from my archives:
there’s a road I often travel
between here…
and not quite there
when I’m looking for an answer
some direction…
to take me anywhere
a million thoughts
a thousand dreams
all drifting on the wind
if I try to follow even one…
it circles back again
to this road I often travel…Doesn’t stop us asking questions though, does it, my friend?

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. First off, excellent write my friend. I think it happens to all of us, it just shows a lot of us are searching for the same answers. That should bring us a feeling of hope, that we’re never truly alone. It’s the little things we all have in common, that brings me hope. Sorry for the tangent. Appreciate you.

Keep the roots. Too many get lost in the accolades & forget where they came from. And that’s how they lose the spark & become sell outs…the roots made you, carry you & they can break you if you forget. True to yourself, my friend, you’re always on point

I have lost friends because of then crossing a line. A line that was stated that was there and still they proceeded to cross it. nicely done.

Exactly, society today is unhinged. You have such a strong and fierce ability to pull the reader in Damian.
Loved this 👍🏻
Keep writing ✍️ thanks for sharing
Love Jackie 🤟 -
I not only can’t fathom how they can justify their greed & cruelty to themselves, I don’t want to. To sink to their level of thinking seems incredibly slimy to me. You never disappoint in bringing the Real, my friend

Damn you just did a mini backroom confessional. What would they not do to rise, and there is always someone there to take it.

Monsters believe they hold all the cards. The funny thing it’s the people that give them power.
Great ink

Holy crap, what did you just do?! This is phenomenal!
“Savagely sedated saturation”
That is incredible alliteration right there! This whole thing just rocks the reader along…& that isn’t even saying anything about the message. Which is its own bag of holy crap! Clearly your late night musing hit a stride & you just ran with it, my friend!

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Yeah, I’ve learned to get out of the way when the muse is driving. lol. I just follow. I loved that line as well. I was just trying to recreate a harder hitting answer to: “Casting Couch Confessional.” The whole three C’s, Then became S’s. Sometimes my lyrical instincts take over. Appreciate you.
