    • Your writing here sinks deeper than I even knew possible. I have no worthy words of comfort. Only, hang in there, my friend, if you can. And if writing it out helps, keep them coming! We are here for you. A soulful write all of us can relate to in some way or another.

  • pluribus

    The de facto US national motto "E pluribus unum" (Out of many, one) was changed by Congress in 1956 to the official 'In God We Trust'.Laughable that God's name is printed on all US currency when the Bible tells...

      • Thanks Damian.

        I’m not American or a believer in God but the change in motto reflects the change in America.A country that once accepted the hungry,the tired,the persecuted now turns it’s back on them…..bet if they were billionaires they’d be welcomed with open arms.

        • Completely agree with you my friend. It almost foreshadows the Christian Nationalist movement going on in this country right now. America has turned heel. To use pro wrestling lingo. Appreciate you.

    Light and Shadow

    When she walks on by that is beautiful. With something about her, I cannot ignore. My eyes follow her blinklessly into blinding light. With something about her, I can gaze. Her perfect form eclipses the sunlight, and I am cast...

    • Nice take on the old battle of light and shadow. Not overdone, yet with plenty of detailed lines to make it strong.
      well done.

    • We as humans should care about the environment and each other but it seems that caring about the environment and each other is not our priority. It’s a shame.

    • Great polemic no doubt regarding the recent US attack on Venezuela.
      I can’t accept that the bulk of American citizens would still vote for Trump and his Court Jesters.
      To be fair, Trump is only the puppet.The puppet masters are the unelected, neo fascist multinational corporations running all western democracies.

      • While I agree the unelected neo facists are the corporations running the western democracy and they feed the war machine because it generates a ton of money for themselves and their ppl..I do worry there are still many Americans that will support trump and his jesters no matter what..no matter what actions or evidence is presented to them their opinions dont change..I don’t know what the tipping scale is for Trump supporters but I dont think we are there..unfortunately..its scary knowing more chaos lies ahead

    • Politics aside, this is a well written poem with great flow and a spot on message. I can sense your urgency within it. But you didn’t lose control. Well done.

    • Powerfully penned, Mstrmnd. Excellent write my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you.
