    The Proverbial Middle Finger

    Death clouds irritate a parched skyHuman parasites feast on liquid goldDismantled a dream with a blatant lieWorld keeps falling as hate takes hold Onward towards the spiritual divideImpossible to sit on the fence foreverLackluster jesters swallow their pride While the king...

    • Reminds me that Tom Petty quote “I did it because I had no choice’. Some of us poets just are built to write.

      Great ink

    • What Nick said is pretty spot on. We write because to do otherwise destroys us to some degree. We give it the middle finger because that’s all we can do. Point out the hypocrisy, the hatred, the corruption & the willful blindness in the only means open to us. Somebody asked me recently “Yeah, but aren’t you just preaching to the choir?” I’m always mindful of the fact that words are a wave…once released, who knows where they’ll stop? So yeah, keep bringing it, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s our voice, to not use it brings aggravation for sure. We writers are pretty good at detecting bullshit. To quote the late great, Lemmy Kilmister: “I will keep doing it, because I’m not qualified to do anything else.” Appreciate you.

    • Isn’t funny how time and events shape us but the eyes show everything. Nice poem

      • Everything changes but the eyes remain.the window of the soul. Thanks for reading. Hopefully it brought an old memory or two. 🌼

    • this is hauntingly beautiful I feel like I am not the same person at all and wonder where that person went great write 💕

      • We’re ever changing, and yet, the inner child remains, the touchstone all else is measured by..I hope you’re doing better 🌼

    • Dear AJ,

      This makes me see sepia toned memories of my own childhood. Although we were carving these pictures into cave walls. There is definitely a gentle melancholy in this piece for innocence and more time. Lovely write. H🌷

      • Thoughts of childhood bring nostalgia. Simpler times, no responsibilities – just you always blaming me for pulling your pony tail. As if such would ever cross.my innocent mind 🌼😋
