      Prayer for the Fake Middle of the Month.

      Pray…
      not to gods,
      not to ghosts,
      but to the middle
      of this faking month,
      this sagging spine of April
      where the days begin to wobble
      under their own weight.

      Pray for the midpoint,
      the lukewarm center,
      the hinge where nothing happens
      and everything threatens to.

      Because…Read More

      Someday Soon

      Desperation fuels chaos in the streets While false idols continue to make war Honest poets keep writing the receipts That’s right we’ve been keeping score   Someday soon judgment catches us all Pride hits hardest when forced to crawl   Evil people are cowards speaking in lies Hiding...

      • Raise a marshmallow to soon! It’s well past time. And again, another one that fits as well as the day it was mused, my friend

      • While false idols continue to make war, this work summons a Jesus who refuses salvation and a Non‑Jesus who refuses erasure. They move like twin shadows, circling the wound the world keeps reopening. Nothing here seeks redemption. Instead, the performance asks who is allowed to carry a name that has been used to bless both mercy and violence. The ritual is not an answer, it is a reckoning.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s a deep analysis brother. Appreciate you.

      • Damn. I read several gut punches this morning, but, my friend, I think I will stop at yours because no other gut punch will top this one for now. Powerful read. Great stuff!

    • Honor, Respect, Loyalty

      Honor was not just a word 

      It was inner compass

      Felt deep within

      Respect is earned

      Not demanded like a spoiled brat

      Given willing

      Loyalty is fleeting

      What once was sort out

      Is now blown away like a puff of smoke

      • Powerfully penned, Fia. An excellent musing my friend. Nothing wrong with watching old karate movies. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you, Cuz.

      • I don’t remember ever watching old karate movies. But I feel the message in this

      • Honor Loyalty and Respect are all earned and very easy to lose.
        Great work 👏

    • Rolling Into the Back 40

      halfway to the party
      and inspiration is faltering
      slapping words into phrases
      hoping they make any sense
      breaking it into sections
      so I don’t lose momentum
      but my energy got up and went
      and I’m left scrambling and outta breath
      it’s one helluva workout…
      for a pen with rusty muscles
      drop and give me…Read More
