    • Mic Drop, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Excellent rant…spitting facts my friend. Dig the voice my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • I’ve penned more rants in the past few days than I’d prefer. I really wish they’d stop with the “inspiration” already. But, alas, I fear I’ll lose my voice before they sit the hell down and shut up. Thank you, my friend

    • Powerful writing, dear Willow! And a sad truth. The Christian hardliners are often exactly the same people who take Christian charity the least serious. Deeply human principles would be so easy to understand. “Love is the only rational act.” ( Mitch Alboum, Tuesdays with Morrie)

      • Hardliners tend to be the ones who prefer to translate to their benefit and bias only. They’re incapable of seeing anything else. Too many wars have occurred over religion. Not enough spirituality and compassion for one another. Thank you, Elke

    • There are very few folk who sound good when they post like this in my opinion .. You sound great .. and I dig the message you have woven so well through todays fine offering .. I hope whoever motivated you to put pen to paper has learned something as well as a lesson .. Now go well and write on .. Yeah’ no need to be gentle with a voice like that .. Neville

      • I’m struggling hard with the sound of my own voice. We’ll see if I stick with it. It makes me uncomfortable, for some reason. But some messages need one’s own signature on them, I think. Thank you for your support, Neville

    • The biggest hypocrites in existence are of the church, the most patriotic people have never served their country’s. The loudest ones screaming now supported their downfall. Tight piece Lady

    • First, of all your voice is perfect for this. Second, this is an eye-opener message. If only people would see.

      • They either see because it resonates, or they remain blind because it pinches guilty nerves. They prefer to live in denial and cause others grief. Thank you, Fia

    • You are such a strong woman, Brenda. Many don’t hesitate to lash out and slash those wronging them. But you know the power of words. 🧡

    • Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend. Words are weapons and writers know how to use them, showing restraint takes self discipline. Especially against those who provoke us. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I can absolutely relate to your poem, dear Crimsin. The strong wish not to hurt anybody makes sensitive people think that they have caused a conflict and are simply not lovable. Never forget that your loving heart and the power of your words are a most effective weapon and armor. Great work!

    • An eye for an eye brings no satisfaction, the loss still exist and nothing can replace it. Tight

    • “Masks conceal the cruelest intentions
      Orchestrated fear designed to control”
      Wow! This is a powerful statement that holds much truth! You just have to listen carefully to politicians. They tell you everything they intent to do, hidden between distracting words.
      Brilliant work, Damian!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Two of my favorite lines as well. Exactly, they tell a lot these days. It’s all hidden in plain sight. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Not only true enough but my word yours here look so pretty sitting on their very own page .. Neville

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Well you know how to make a person feel appreciated. Thanks to you kind sir. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Phenomenal piece Damian. Makes ya think. Powerful write my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m always trying to evoke thought brother. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Okay, Prophet, you did it again. They only wear the mask long enough to lull the sheep. The wolves are out in force now, no masks. And you nailed this one like a jackhammer of Truth. I really wish you weren’t so deadly accurate…but here we are. That vault of yours must be packed with treasure, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Believe me I wish I wasn’t accurate. The wolves are taking everything that’s not nailed down. Including those boots we’re supposed to pull ourselves up with, we’re essentially strapless. lol. “Jackhammer of Truth” sounds like a possible song or album name. There are a couple of gems in there from time to time. I agree though the masks have been discarded. Always enjoy your commentary, sorry I tend to get you riled you up so often. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Tight, relentless lines. This feels like a pressure chamber where thought turns toxic and power hides behind masks. I like how the poem doesn’t over-explain—just lets the spiral speak for itself. Dark, current, and uncomfortably true.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m a believer of letting the reader fill in the gaps with their thoughts and where the write takes them. Thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Nice! Tightly done yet with a bullseye message. The rhymes are perfect, too. Excellent write Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I try.. Thanks for your continued support. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • You were ahead of your time, Damian. This applies today as if it was written yesterday. Great poem!

    • Powerfully penned, Wally. Excellent write my friend. It’s amazing the little things we remember and the nugget of wisdom hidden within. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Thanks Damian. Sometimes I wish I would have heeded more of her advice, but sometimes we have to learn on our own as well.
        Thank you for stopping by, reading and commenting. Always I appreciate your feedback.
