    • The way you structured the poem it looks calm then increases with intensity just to calm down again. There is so many twists and turns in one life that it is impossible to get the nuance of it. Between the government and the churches and the societal acceptance of things that should not be accepted. Very interesting write

    • This one hits like a freight train of memory, madness, and raw observation—gritty, sprawling, alive with every sense screaming at once.
      I love how it doesn’t just tell a story; it drags you through the chaos of life, pain, and revelation, leaving you dazzled and unsettled in the best possible way.

    All I'm Asking

    Another spirt in a quagmire Selling off dignity just to get by Inflated egos that conspire Adding layers to a perpetual lie   Sycophants always fall in line Empty vessels lacking a spine   This world so full of sorrow Throwing obstacles in the way All I’m asking of...

      • I like how this feels angry and tenderly thought at the same time. I like that hopefulness in the dark

    • Damian the fire in the eyes of those zealous followers of the pied piper elevated to guru status is painted in your poem with fire and smoke. Truly a smoking great poem that is as strong emotionally as it is rhythmically. You have real talent my friend.

    • This is an interesting conversation that a mother and son have over dinner. It is a sweet dynamic that he still confides in her about what he is doing in his life and the way she talks to him gives you how much she cares about him.

      • Much gratitude my friend. Yes the mother son conversations is indeed a sweet dynamic that leads to him sharing with her. Than you so much my friend. Deeply appreciated.

        John
