    Ignoring the Billboards of Morality the impasse of logic when the bypass is tragic   the psychotic  foresees the victim hiding within  the trees   of fate cornered seen in peripheral vision too late   the little ones grew as the lewd troll eschewed   the traffic with no stop lights no signs of stoppage just those of  yielding to what's coming from the right in dead of...

    • I get the driver ignored what was happening on the side of the road in the woods? Interesting piece

    • Brilliantly laid, Jacob,

      It’s gone wayyy too far when one’s political views are taken so seriously by the opposing radical factions that they’ll get ya killed.
      It couldn’t have been put better than V1.

      I love the Freestyle work, and really dig your title … the voice of present day, and enduring past’s as-well. There’s nothing new about crazy people.

      It’s hard to say thanks to this, My Friend, but poetically speaking, I wholeheartedly do! ⁓ Richard🖌

      • It is such a travesty, all that is going on now in the world and in the world of political climate.

        I am so disheartened.

        But thank you for your kind review.

    • we own our choices good or bad. And for those we regret, we can ask forgiveness and do what we can of good deeds to even up the ledger. Similar to what the Chorus in Oedipus spoke of at his end.
      Fate took him in one direction…he attempted to take himself as far as he could in the other before his death.
      Really good piece.

    The Great Exodus

    The man's face is leather-like,as time-worn as his stained overallsfrom years of farming. His degraded truck's radiatoris starving for water. He unscrews the radiator capwith callused hands andgrabs a thin handle to ared metal bucket struggling not to spill a...

    • My dad had to work two jobs as a kid during the depression because his dad had died and he had to support his mom.
      This is intense but also beautiful lyrically.
      Reminds me of the film The Grapes of Wrath.

      The Joad family…”I’ll be there Ma, yeah, I’ll be there!”

      • That’s where the idea came from. I read the book many years ago. Your dad was a courageous person. No wonder why you turned out so well. Thanks for the comment, J.

    • I liked how you discussed this. Looking through one person’s point of view and I could see it.

    • Powerfully penned, Tim. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian
