    • I love the lyrics. Damian, cool piece

      • Thanks for the read and listen. Now my horrible voice will scar the lives of many. I’m glad you loved the lyrics, this was always intended to be a song. Good old GarageBand way back in 2009. Appreciate you, Fia.

    • Thanks so much for reading and listening, as well as your kind words, Adira. That’s what I was afraid of that people would want more, I’m kidding. lol. I was just trying to remember the melody, I knew my voice isn’t great. But I still now the melody, so it all worked out in the end. Appreciate you.

    • Sorry it didn’t play. It’s an acoustic song, maybe Bob Dylan/Neil Young, kinda style. I’m glad you enjoyed the lyrics my friend. Means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I couldn’t get the audio to play but I really like the lyrics. As usual, you don’t skate across the surface. You take us deeper than many do. My daughter keeps telling me songs are just poetry with a tune. Not sure where that drops me…I always hear my poetry with a tune. Nicely done, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. Sorry you couldn’t hear it, Fia was able to and so was Adira. It plays for me, this is why I hate technology. lol. Anyways I’ll try to get it resolved, I wanted you to hear it as well. She’s pretty spot on, lyricist obviously make more money than most poets. I also think that’s why poets or writers are involved in music. They more likely to be heard. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Sorry it didn’t play. I’m looking into it. I couldn’t get it to play on QuickTime when I was messing with it, but it played over here. I’m glad you love the lyrics, I wanted you to hear it to. Appreciate you, Duende.

    • Hello Damian. The lyrics are wonderful. I couldn’t get the audio to play. Nevertheless, I’m sure your voice kicked ass. Nice work here.

    A place we all called home

     No, it wasn’t a housebut it was my home. Not bricks and beams, but words and souls, connected in a space that held me without question.I don’t even have a home. I live in an apartment, but it never...

    • I felt this. It was a home to so many people.

      • I don’t know but every time I go to DUP now, I see the purple banner letting us know. We’re on countdown mode, days minutes and seconds, and it just hit me hard again, and I’ve been crying for the last hour. I’m over it now as far as crying goes, anyway, but yeah, this is what came of it. Thank you for reading and commenting Fia❤️
        Love you, your sister and Ink ✍️ ❤️

        Ps I was there for 14 years. I joined when I was 45 and 59. That’s a hard pill to swallow just saying.

    • It’s the family that makes the home and lots of DUPers are turning Starsrite into a new safe have.
      Good…. Different.

      • Excellent point, and I feel you— I’m grateful for this place❤️❤️❤️❤️ I truly am it’s this place that’s keeping me from really going hard and deep into sadness so yeah you’re right. Thank goodness we have starsrite!
        Nice to meet you, Peter☺️❤️
        Thank you for reading my poem and commenting. It means a lot.
        Your new friend

    • I didn’t know DUP brokedown. I stopped using it a while ago.
      I feel you. Being a user for many years building friendships and belonging to a poet family and then be cut off from that it feels like losing a member of family!

      • Hello M.E Yeah, well I’ve been on the underground since 2012 and that’s literally 14 years of my life. and while they’ll never be another place like Dup, I am grateful we’re all migrating here, some some place new. I myself am grateful for that.
        Jackie ☺️

    • I can’t delete my account. I’m gonna let it go down with the ship. I don’t know why it’s not when I saw that damn purple banner just hit me really hard and it’s not getting any easier and finally when that day comes when you click on the little icon it takes you nowhere that’s when the tears storms gonna fall. I can’t help it, the Underground was a true part of my life for so long…
      Thanks for reading and commenting.
      I appreciate you.

    • hello Jackie I feel this deeply I love you 💕

      • You know, Willow made a really good point as many others have pointed out as well. It’s not where you are. It’s who you’re with❤️ and we are all making this new place our home and I’m just glad to see everybody. You guys are all my family in my heart anyway..

      • I know you do Crim❤️❤️❤️

    • It matters so much more than some may notice & will be felt long after the lights go off. When the community gathers in one place, it remains intact. I keep reminding myself that home is where the family is & where the welcome mat greets us. You’re not alone in your grief

      • Excellent words Willow. You’re right, it’s not where you are, It’s who you’re with. I am grateful truly grateful that we have this new platform to be here together, doing what we do best, creating and being kind.
        It’s very nice to see you. Don’t be a stranger, ok
        Jackie ❤️

    • This loss matters indeed, my friend.

    • Crazy that humanity repeats the same errors over and over again. Excuse my french, but it is a shit show right now…
      Great write Damian ⚘️

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Jade. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is a total shit show since the circus hit town. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I agree with Jade. We repeat because we chose not to remember. Sad. Good spill

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is a sad state of affairs for sure. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • It’s the ones who see, recognize the injustice, disapprove…& do nothing. Those are the ones I really just want to bitch slap sometimes. Guess we’re gonna have to make enough noise for their apathetic asses too.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s up to the poets/poetesses to spread the truth. I agree wholeheartedly. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Angel. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree with you wholeheartedly, all of the things this regime in power is doing, is illegal as hell. This cult is circumventing the checks and balances. Critical thinking is definitely lost on some folks. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Powerful work, my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. Glad you connected with the write, and thanks so much for your support my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Adira. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, to write about these things. I totally get it my friend. Thanks so much for your support. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you get what I was going for my friend. The working class has been screwed over for so many years, immigrants and transgender folks are not the problem. That’s all propaganda to make a scapegoat, it’s the billionaire robber barons that are killing everyday people. Sorry for the rant. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Like a snake coiled & waiting. We can see it & hear the rattle. Deadly venom is bound to be lethal. Well expressed, my friend. I will sit in your kitchen & watch you cook anytime. Maybe toss you a few ingredients
