    Prayer for the Fake Middle of the Month.

    Pray…
    not to gods,
    not to ghosts,
    but to the middle
    of this faking month,
    this sagging spine of April
    where the days begin to wobble
    under their own weight.

    Pray for the midpoint,
    the lukewarm center,
    the hinge where nothing happens
    and everything threatens to.

    Because…Read More

    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...

    • Powerful work, my friend. Excellent.

    • 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.

  • Honor, Respect, Loyalty

    Honor was not just a word 

    It was inner compass

    Felt deep within

    Respect is earned

    Not demanded like a spoiled brat

    Given willing

    Loyalty is fleeting

    What once was sort out

    Is now blown away like a puff of smoke
