Thank you so much my friend and reading and really feeling my poem. New Orleans has made an amazing comeback. I haven’t been back to Mardi Gras since Katrina. But I have visited the city several times since. I miss the city. I love that city I once called home.

New Orleans is where jazz and funk music got there start. Where second-line drumming and parades flourish, and where jazz funerals are carried out. I was sad to see what Katrina did to the french quarter. I’m sure a place like that will always come back from whatever tragedy affects it.

Thank you so much Tim for understanding and expressing your great empathy for the tragedy that happened to my city when Katrina came. I lived in New Orleans as a child and remember those cultural events you spoke of. New Orleans has indeed come back. Fortunately the French Quarter didn’t flood as bad as the rest of the city. It was spared the worst. I miss that city. I live seventy miles from New Orleans now. It was a diverse and culturally rich place for me to grow up.

This is an emotional tour de force of dark poetry my friend. You captivate me with this darkly lit poem. A real work of art.

Karma has an army…& her day is still coming. It’s interesting watching the different responses people have to the insanity right now. Solid piece here

Sometimes I feel we have been taken over by monsters and they are protected by fools. It’s hard to wrap my head around how this is reality. A pedophile as president is pathetic, but he is unqualified in ever way. Words can’t say how disappointed I am with his supporters.
Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

hello dearest Nick I know what you mean you know God loves his sheep but he has confided in me he loves his macabre people more…why do think this world is as it is? the devil if there is one is a fall guy we will burn someone in effigy and call it good at the end lol 💕

I believe in a God. Whatever that may be. I think good and evil is just part of the plan. After all good and evil is really perspective. I can get over someone being evil, it’s the cowards and hypocrites that blow my mind. They turned being a boot licker into an art. Not sure if I believe in a Haven and hell but if one person is deserving of it it’s Trump.

It was a wicked world. Now it’s just a bat shit crazy world haha. Totally mind blowing how so many of us are just stupid. Even people you would think would be better than this, but nope. It’s a level I can’t understand.
Thanks for the read, friend.
