I surely relate to this. I am quite angry today. There are several reasons and they all start at the top.
Friends who are afraid to go out of their houses because of the color of their skin. Muffled echoes of free speech.
I wonder how many more meals, how much longer in my own home and whether it will cost too much in the near future to breathe.

It feels that the plant is not being consulted when decisions about it are made.

Much like little children taken away from their big trees (parents) and transplanted which makes them
really scared, like maybe they won’t ever see family again.
Little plants among giant trees…and they feel so intimidated and lost.

Great!

This is really good. Damian <3

Oh yeah, this one definitely needs a place on the album! I hope it’s coming along well! The halls are a bit echo-ey without you wandering them as often, my friend

Powerful work. Superb.

Great work. I get an image of a man struggling with who to trust.

I get the sense of internal conflict, and the rhythm and urgency make it clear these are lyrics meant to be performed.

The energy builds perfectly toward the chorus: “Face to face with destiny…” I especially like the line “Loyal to the art of betrayal” – it’s a great, concise piece of wordplay.

More great lyrics, Damian. Very heavy stuff. I hope to hear the music someday.

A kickin piece my friend. Your a gift to the world with your writing.

Well poemed my friend .. 😎👍

I have done a fair amount of cursing in my day, Fia.
But the muse turns a blind ear.

Sometimes it feels like certain people are drawn into your life for different reasons, not always for communication or connection, but for maybe even deeper philosophical meanings than even those can provide (I recommend all the Stoics, of course) It always pays to patient…and observant. Good form and thoughtfulness.

Brilliantly penned, Fia. Always dig your musings my friend. Appreciate you, cuz.

Damian

Thank you ;))

A very striking and succinct piece. A fire burns in these verses.
Regards James

Your writing always conveys your emotions very precisely, emotionally. I mean this: many thanks for sharing what appear to be deep, deep feelings. Can only hope that time will lessen the pain felt as soon as can, Fia.
