    • To see the world and its inhabitants as they truly are and be able to accept them is being “woke” then I am too. Nice stream of consciousness.

      • I will never be ashamed of supporting those who are just trying to live their lives. I mean I feel extra worried for trans people. When you have the vice president calling trans people deranged it’s mind blowing. Scary times.

        Thanks for the read, much appreciated.

    • Spitting fire, Nick. Into the book it belongs! A very powerful write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • !!!!🙌 So on point, my friend! That’s all I got for words here. You done said it all🙌!!!

      • ✋ such a great comment. Honestly I’m just happy to see there are people that see the ugliness that is happening.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    • Hell yeah! 💥
      Really, it’s gotta be the most lame-ass insult I’ve ever heard. If someone is calling people “woke”, does that mean they’re admitting that they’re asleep..? And… proud of it..? 😆 Geez.

      Love this write!
      ❤️k

      • Yeah, it is very stupid. And yet they keep saying it like they’re on to something. Literally they’re saying we shouldn’t think. It’s just as stupid as that movie don’t look up.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    • I am reading and I will do my best to get eyes on the creatives. Being a creative person is never easy, but it is a necessity in my eyes.

      • Art is always subjective but I think losing DUP was a big hit to us poets. But I really hope to see more friendly faces here. I think once people get the hang of things they would see it’s even better.

        I try to do my part as well but life is busy these days.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Well I was hooked from the first line, where does poetry go when it dies? I guess into oblivion to exist but be unseen and unheard. It’s crazy how we have so devalued and under appreciated art in any of its true forms when the world we live in now screams all the things that should make it thrive.

      • Devalued is pretty much everything now. It’s sad, but maybe one day things will come around. I mean if vinyls can make a comeback, why not?

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Mic Drop! Excellent write, Nick. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I will never surrender my ink! We’re not dying. We’re simply finding pockets of safety in a world gone mad. If I could put this on my reading list, I would…twice. Damn…

      • A very mad world these days. Which honestly with as many opinions people have you think they would want to write poetry instead of tweets.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    • That must be the secret because some people seem to enjoy it a little too much sometimes. But in all seriousness, there are definitely days where it feels like you might as well just embrace it because that’s all there is left to do. Kind of reminds me of some song lyrics from a song I like, “So I made friends with all my demons/ Let ’em sink their teeth in/ Got used to the feeling of letting it go” and a mix of “you either laugh about it or you’ll cry”.

      • Thanks for the comment and the time it took to write it.

        I find sitting still quite pleasant these days.No noise except for the sound of the universe.

    • How painfully correct you are.. and yet
      while painful I still found the ability to smile during the read. Humans are indeed idiots.

    • It always seemed weird to me that in a world full of people most of us feel lonely. Great ink.

    • First, I love the Esthetics of this piece. You really make the reader focus. The first line was on point. I enjoyed this.

      • I’m really glad you connected with this vibe, Fia
        A little something for the sub-conscious.

        Much respect

    • Movement is EVERYTHING. And you certainly hit your stride in this piece. Too often seem to wanna wait on a “sign” before they’ll get off their asses & do something. If the thought whispers in the mind…move on it. That’s why it’s there.

    • Truth runs through everything – or should for Life’s sake! The ‘do unto others as..’ in any faith is the truth of existance, without it – all’s lost. Perhaps that explains the reason for our planet gradually fading into space even unreachable via Man’s ability. Maybe Al will win the contest – when it’s truthful enough to say how and – able. Fine writing, also a fine claim to fame by, perhaps, starting a debate

      • ” Maybe Al will win the contest ”

        it will…for a Time

        Great commentary thru and true
        …much appreciation

    • Love the flow and the T.R.U.T.H. in this. Must have missed seeing this one on the board when I was here the last few times. But that’s just like the truth….you have to go looking for it. Magickal as they are, we can’t depend or even subsist on thought & word alone. Actions…passions…are what makes it an earthly reality. It’s like the old truther meme says…”the world is not real yet everything you do matters”

      Keeping this one.

    • Big thx, lady. I always appreciate your depth of insight.
      And I’m also enjoy hearing about your shower escapades 🙂
