      Just like my words

      Leaving me in my time of need

      It does not matter what I do because the words wont come out

      Two minutes left

      I am done for and its for the best 

      Its pressure on top of pressure

      No more time….

      Someday Soon

      Desperation fuels chaos in the streets While false idols continue to make war Honest poets keep writing the receipts That’s right we’ve been keeping score   Someday soon judgment catches us all Pride hits hardest when forced to crawl   Evil people are cowards speaking in lies Hiding...

      • Raise a marshmallow to soon! It’s well past time. And again, another one that fits as well as the day it was mused, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Raising a marshmallow to soon! Unfortunately it fits because things have gotten worse, but us poets and poetesses are quite good at keeping account of all the receipts. Appreciate you.

      • While false idols continue to make war, this work summons a Jesus who refuses salvation and a Non‑Jesus who refuses erasure. They move like twin shadows, circling the wound the world keeps reopening. Nothing here seeks redemption. Instead, the performance asks who is allowed to carry a name that has been used to bless both mercy and violence. The ritual is not an answer, it is a reckoning.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s a deep analysis brother. Appreciate you.

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

      • Another great piece my friend. It’s a madness that doesn’t seem to end.

      • Strong, strong, well done ink Damian.

      • Damian, the sheer velocity of this as it rocketed through the false prophets that surround us and unveiled their true nature showed them for what the are. The rich man not having a crumb under the table for the poor and taking them for all they have. I could both feel and see this through the unflinching eyes of the great poet you are. You told it like it truly is behind the smoke screens. Appreciate you.

        John

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, John. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m kinda of obsessed with the truth that hides behind the smokescreens. I feel the obligation to expose what lies were meant to remain hidden I guess, always have, even as a younger poet. Appreciate you.
