We Are Not Machines
Do not worry
if you shall fall and forget.
Tomorrow always comes.
What’s most important is that you try.
It’s a shame that we forget that everything that we do
starts off with a person just trying.The stark white of the page
Uninspired

Occupy space inside with other thingsReturn…Read More

Damn the skull is an empty chalice waiting to be filled. This is so deep with hints of darkness all through it. Nicely done

“April 7th brings the other kind:
the sharp, unsentimental forgiveness
that strips you bare,
that names your mistakes
without flinching,
that empties your skull
so something truer
can echo inside it.”Powerfully penned, PAR. Into the book it belongs! What an amazing write with a flow the moves like the wind my friend. So many excellent stanzas brother, but the one above hits like a freight train. I can relate. Excellent read. Appreciate you.

The Day of Empty Skulls and Full Time

“they distort sex, drugs, and even God” That is 100%. Good piece

I sometimes wonder if you realize in the writing how prophetic and on point your observations are. We had more than an inkling at the time of inking, but who could have predicted how awful it would get? And they’re not done yet. This is a beast of a powerhouse, my friend

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’ve been accused a couple of times in this life of being prophetic in my observations. J.J. Burton was the first to tell me that, even Joey G. has said it a time or two. I just go where my muse leads me, and jot down the thoughts that come to me. I think this one is more fuel for the bonfire my friend. Appreciate you.

Interesting in how such a write could be penned in the 1960s, til now. It’s a never ending cycle of promises and BS, with military interventions along the way. We the people just try to eek out a decent life, as unscathed as possible.
Intuitive write, sir. Prophetic.-

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It could have been penned in the 60’s and every era in-between I agree. It’s a rabbit hole that never ends, a collection of puzzle pieces I try to put together, I’ve been chasing for answers my whole life. Sadly it often leads to more questions, because the actual puzzle is ginormous with lots of moving parts. It’s all part of my journey it would seem. My wife and kids are my happiness it only took a little over 20 years to figure that one out. lol. Better late than never I guess. Appreciate you.

Hey amigo. Everything is so unstable and messed up. I’m just trying to get through my day feeling like a decent person. It’s all too much. And I feel it in this write. Well done

This reminds me of the book 1984. They’re changing history through numerous means and we’re all suffering under it. Good one, Damian.

You may have written this two years ago but it’s still true till this day. Half the time I’m baffled by what happens and see no results as far as justice.
Powerful work.-

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Wally. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I have that happen sometimes where a write will still hit home in present day. Justice doesn’t always make its self visible, it sometimes sneaks up on those who violate it, without the public ever knowing any was served. That’s kinda deep.. Appreciate you.

Diversity
Being a city boy
with Native roots,
I have always loved the feel
of cool, dew-laden grass
licking my toes;
the scent of pine needles
on the forest floor;
the way a blue butterfly
will sometimes land
on your outstretched hand.
As I wrap all these thoughts
inside my heart,
I begin to see the balance of life.
We are, all of…Read More3 Comments-

Very good…. I love this part the way a blue butterfly
will sometimes land
on your outstretched hand.
As I wrap all these thoughts… A beautiful metaphor.. like if a butterfly can sense our thoughts . I do feel they sense those things too. Nice work… Keep it up-
