    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

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Huge respect for, Petty. To quote Lemmy Kilmister: “I’m not qualified to do anything else.” Appreciate you.

    • Creativity is the proverbial finger…Nice.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I think so.. lol. Appreciate you.

    • 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.

    • Wow, this gives me a lyrical vibe. I love the, “but if she makes me wash the groceries again
      it’s not gonna be pretty.” I understand that threat. lol

      • Yeah, it was a wild time. I remember a guy coming up to me and saying “I fought in vietnam but at least we could see our enemies” haha.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. Feels like Deja Vu, your words took me back in time my friend. Great spill. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Definitely not the best of times. The years after for me were tough due to a snow ball of issues. But there was a lot that just was so weird I can’t help but laugh.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Those are some killer lyrics. Maybe you’ll find the right fit one day.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Who knows, maybe someday they’ll find a home. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • ” karma is my personal retreat ”

      That hit on a whole nother level, D.
      This entire vibe sparked a mood. Got me going into the archives

      Much respect

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Naaj. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. That was a pretty good line, there are some good writes hidden in the archives. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • This wasn’t a match. This is good and should have been put as a single alone.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. It happened a lot with, Joey G, that’s probably not shocking to anyone who knows our history. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • hello dearest Damian vey powerful lyrics…I wonder how AI could help your realize this song putting music to your lyrics 💕

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I’m thinking about using my GarageBand app to maybe put some music to some songs. Maybe this should be a frontrunner for music. Thank you for your support. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Honestly, I would buy an album of songs with lyrics only written by you. Im not even going to try & pin a favorite line. This one is full of them. 2012? Are you sure you’re not a prophet? Im gonna start tracking what you’re saying, I swear, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I am thinking when school starts back up of possibly arranging some musical ideas, using the GarageBand software. We’ll see how it goes. lol. I miss being in the studio, and using the producer side of my brain. I learned a lot working on “Heartstrings” it consumed 3 1/2 years of my life. I have no crystal ball, nor do I have any superpowers that I’m aware of, unless being a Pisces is a prophetic sign of sorts. lol. By all means keep track, maybe you’ll discover my secret, though I truly don’t know that I have one. But I’m always accepting help in figuring out why I do what I do. Appreciate you.
