    Everything’s going up in smoke tonight Temperature is rising from the fire below Speaking in curses to mask such delight While momentum has started to plateau   Positive thinking can only lead one so far Losing ground to a pack of assorted lies On the face...

      Thank you for sharing this, Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You’re spot on, I knew I had company. You’re very welcome, and thank you for commenting. Appreciate you.

    • I like how things are pulled from Damian’s vault. This is good.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I thought all writers have a vault? Don’t tell me I missed another meeting. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • This one took me somewhere…the smell of sulfur & the rising burn of hell beneath the feet. All I can say is, they spread their propaganda but nothing’s stopping us from spreading truth. Who knows what could happen when enough voices shout it? Your vault must be a gold mine, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Keen observation skills and a great sense of smell, you possess there. There is nothing stopping us from spreading the truth, it’s all I strive to do. My writing is so steeped in exposing the truth, even as a young writer, once I found my calling I knew it. So you can count me in. The vault has some good stuff in there, it also is the resting place for some not so good writes. In all honesty, I’m a hoarder I don’t even through my worst stuff away. Some have been known to be retooled and rereleased, others can’t be saved, but they tell my journey as a writer. I am also sentimental. I still have my first notebook of work, from when I was 15 years old. And it was terrible. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Very powerful write, Damian. Rage against the machine!

    • They surround and attack like piranhas. This is a good piece

    • I will continue to say those who believe the lies do so for their own corrupt reasons. Which begs the question…who is worse? The chief liars or those who choose to believe because it suits their agendas? I’ve lost friends & family to this current state of the world. Eyes wide open, mind wider. It’s the only way to make it through. Another solid write, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s truly a cult in my opinion, when no matter how much truth is revealed, they continue to follow. I don’t think most wanna see, or they actually like what the world is becoming. That’s how I see it, always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

    Welcome Backstage, I’m Damian DeadLove. Tonights band is the one and only, White Lion. This is a phenomenal group in my opinion, very underrated as musicians and songwriters. You have to understand something. One of the heaviest guys I know,...

    • Outstanding piece Damian. Not a favorite band of mine, but your passion and detail to this band is quite impressive. Well said!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Music is like that, we all have different tastes. Some we agree, others, not so much. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • This was amazing and informative. I like that little extra note of why you like that note

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It was an amazing story in the sense that I was able to tie in a personal experience. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Yes, another White Lion fan. You’re most welcome. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I always love a band that when you listen to them they take you back in time. Great write.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Yeah, it’s a special band when attached to a great memory. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Very informative. Excellent work.

    • This took me so many places. From countless hours watching MTV to meeting, speaking with & shaking hands with the reporter from South Africa who was friends with Stephen Biko…the movie Cry Freedom. I had forgotten that White Lion did a song about apartheid with a similar title to the movie. Some truly incredible talent blossomed & hit the scene in the 80s. I’m so glad you’re highlighting them, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the story my friend. It’s a great song, actually. I vaguely remember that movie, Stephen Biko? Oh yes, Peter Gabriel, had a song called: Biko. You can see the issues of the time, writers make that happen. Yes, the 80’s get a bad rap sometimes, when it was actually a really creative era. Your welcome.. Appreciate you.

    • hello dearest Damian in my pursuit for answers I have sometimes bitten off more than I could chew and got answers that were more than I could bear…this is very deep my friend only those of us who have faced this with our questions will get it great write

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you were able to connect with the write my friend. You’re right, the answers are often overwhelming to say the least. Appreciate you.

        Damian.

    • Powerful work, my friend.

    • I think that is a sign of a good poem when you can read your work and get a different thought from it. Nicely done.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. So do I, it is the sign of a good poem. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I hate sitting and thinking too much. Because then I start over thinking and that just is never good haha. Wonderful poem. It does gives you a different view with each read.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I overthink all the time, I know what you mean. Although, overtime with wisdom I’ve learned to try and use it for good. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Am I the only one who asks questions & finds the answers only inspiring more questions? Old from my archives:

      there’s a road I often travel
      between here…
      and not quite there
      when I’m looking for an answer
      some direction…
      to take me anywhere
      a million thoughts
      a thousand dreams
      all drifting on the wind
      if I try to follow even one…
      it circles back again
      to this road I often travel…

      Doesn’t stop us asking questions though, does it, my friend?

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. First off, excellent write my friend. I think it happens to all of us, it just shows a lot of us are searching for the same answers. That should bring us a feeling of hope, that we’re never truly alone. It’s the little things we all have in common, that brings me hope. Sorry for the tangent. Appreciate you.

    • Staying true to your purpose. Nice

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m where I’m meant to be, I think. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • hello dearest Damian I feel you on this I paint as well I just want enough to create… you are a hell of an artist 💕

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Thank you, that means a lot to me my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Art is tragically undervalued. But all artist do it because it’s a calling.

      Great ink.

    • Keep the roots. Too many get lost in the accolades & forget where they came from. And that’s how they lose the spark & become sell outs…the roots made you, carry you & they can break you if you forget. True to yourself, my friend, you’re always on point

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I try to stay humble, as a form of discipline, to the craft. Appreciate you.
