    Back aches
    Feet throbs
    Vision strain
    Headache driving one insane

    We came up with the saying “the tough get it done”

    I’m done…
    We as a society, on the whole
    Are charcoaled steak
    Extra well, with no tenderness in sight

    • It does feel that way, done, charcoaled. But after last Saturday, I saw hope for many reasons beyond the numbers. But it will take more than a one and done approach. It will take sustained resistance, nonviolent activity, a refusal to obey the flames of abuse, and in our millions to stop the “grilling”.

    • Your poem rings so true, Fia,. Let’s hope that, one day, Society rediscovers tenderness, love, and caring about each other rather than all the squalid hatred, the foul judgement that has no place.

    She led me to a lonely forest glade, where fireflies flew and faeries might have played,
    The brooding sky was blood red, pure delight, the half-light glowed as dusk turned into night,
    We lay among white lilies in the mist, she winked and beat her wings before she kissed,
    Then whispered sweetest nothings in my ear, the…Read More

    if you think about it... they don't have a lot of talent there's really only one color in their palette  and even that's growing thin so busy painting fences with their hatred they're not even trying to pretend hyper-focused on us vs them   (like there's really...

    • It has to taste unsavory indeed. No one wants to be led especially them. ;))

      • It’s the dangers of being in a herd of hateful bullies…they always want to be the one in charge. And they’re all being played like an organ. Those with any sense of decency are stepping off that fence these days. 🤦‍♀️

    • hello beautiful Willow I hate the division caused by everything… great write ❤️

      • I’m with you, Brenda. It tears at the spirit terribly. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • You wrote this so well that it will apply wonderfully to other madmen after the present madmen are gone.

      • I sometimes wonder who is more mad…the madmen leading or the madmen supporting them? Would the leaders have risen to the top without the ones lifting them up? Aggravating in the extreme. Reasoning has left the room. Thank you, Brandon

        • There is wonderful quote by Bertolt Brecht that I wish people would sit and ponder on: “Don’t yet rejoice in his defeat, you men! Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard, The bitch that bore him is in heat again.”

    • Brilliantly penned, Willow. Excellent write delivered with brutal honesty my friend. This one needs to be read out loud while sitting around the bonfire. Chef’s kiss! Appreciate you.

      • I’m stealing moments here and there to write these poetry month entries, but the bonfire is always burning. You wouldn’t believe the pile of wood I have waiting. Thank you, my friend 😊
