Powerfully penned, PAR. Excellent write with amazing storytelling my friend. This is next level brilliant my brother. Appreciate you.

As Executive Secretary for 20 years, I was nodding vigorously at your description of the actual work. The organizer, thumb on the pulse, fingers in the files. My boss called me the “Real Boss.” Taken in that context, this is brilliant for that alone. Death is too small for me…damn…

Oh wow, what a piece. I mean, the flow of it and the constant reiteration doesn’t wish me dead, just seemed the whole thing.

I like this story. No one appreciates what they have really. The playfulness at the end was sweet. Well thought out story

Fantastic! Sam.

Your stories never disappoint, Sam. There’s always an ending to ponder and smile over. I thought of Scotty as a spirit who still watches over his mother. Great storytelling as usual. :))))

Thanks, Tim. I appreciate it.

chèr D.,
Amen to that.
I’ll be back tomorrow to read it again.

Kind regards, Gus

Your wallop of a write had me nodding in agreement. So many truths are nestled in every line. Love will indeed live forever! Outstanding write, my friend.

Well said. No body is promised tomorrow.

That last stanza sends this one home. Wonderful piece Damian.

Dear D,

Inspirational to be sure. This write was a movie short where I could envision the hero if the piece roaming from one stanza to the next recognizing the differentiation of God and truth vs ai and evil. Great write. H🌷

Coming to poison what God built ”

Those words were written with a hammer and chisel.

Dope overall vibe
Diggin the positive outro, brother…

Much respect

Sigh…where to start? I agree with Naaj up there. 👆 Those lines are definitely carved in granite. There’s a loss of humanity occurring on so many levels today. AI is replacing human labor, taking human paychecks and means of living. But AI does what man tells it. It’s not out there knocking on doors and handing out resumes. It’s the greed of man dehumanizing their fellows that’s doing the damage. The fact that we have a deranged overstuffed cheese puff feeding frenzy to his blind acolytes speaks volumes for the state of man’s moral compass right now. Every decision they’re making is destructive…to the earth (our host) and to its guests (us and wildlife). Yeah, I got rolling but this one took me to so many places. Keep carving those lines, my friend, and I’m sure I’ll keep ranting
