    Animal Charm

    And so it was, when the big pig had seized powerHe asked his followers to swear allegiance to himAnd the baldheaded big wigs - within the same hourKnelt and kissed his ring, without thinking, in a whim Though many animals...

    • “Because some are more loyal than others. ” I think more are easier to break and make them follow than being loyal. I read animal farm. I like the use of the idea here

      • Thank you Fia. Yes the loyal part also works. I just re-read sometime ago and I was watching a drum corps program that dealt with the same issue about being equal, so that theme stuck with me.
        Always appreciate your comments and hope you have a wonderful new year.

    • Powerfully penned, Wally. Excellent write my friend. Sabbath and Floyd I dig that. Appreciate you.

      • Thank you Damian.
        Yes, the pig theme from the music and the book (along with the image) just felt like they all tied together in a way.
        Hope you have a great new year sir.

    • Excellent. I think I know of this pig and his followers. There may be other interpretations, but I gravitate toward the one that has this swine in the highest of high positions. I shall try to eat more fish.

      • Greetings Sam, yes you are exactly correct, let alone the latest comment made toward a woman by calling her just that. I think the majority of us feel this frustration (and anger), anxiety just to name a few.
        Hope you have a great new year.

    Not one for hiding behind ghosts Illusions manifest with each voice Only a fool would doom his hosts While denying another of a choice   So unsettled from never knowing Being unable to reason with guilt Shadows on the wall are growing   Coming to poison what...

    • That last stanza sends this one home. Wonderful piece Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. My favorite stanza as well. Appreciate you.

    • Dear D,

      Inspirational to be sure. This write was a movie short where I could envision the hero if the piece roaming from one stanza to the next recognizing the differentiation of God and truth vs ai and evil. Great write. H🌷

    • ” Shadows on the wall are growing

      Coming to poison what God built ”

      Those words were written with a hammer and chisel.

      Dope overall vibe
      Diggin the positive outro, brother…

      Much respect

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Naaj. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I dig those lines as well. Thank you for your continued support my brother. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Sigh…where to start? I agree with Naaj up there. 👆 Those lines are definitely carved in granite. There’s a loss of humanity occurring on so many levels today. AI is replacing human labor, taking human paychecks and means of living. But AI does what man tells it. It’s not out there knocking on doors and handing out resumes. It’s the greed of man dehumanizing their fellows that’s doing the damage. The fact that we have a deranged overstuffed cheese puff feeding frenzy to his blind acolytes speaks volumes for the state of man’s moral compass right now. Every decision they’re making is destructive…to the earth (our host) and to its guests (us and wildlife). Yeah, I got rolling but this one took me to so many places. Keep carving those lines, my friend, and I’m sure I’ll keep ranting

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Like I told Naaj, I love those lines as well. I agree with you as I tend to do, I saw a story today where Chat GPT is causing people to commit crimes and hurt others and themselves. It needs to be regulated at the very least, but that ain’t happening with the Cheeto in power. These tech bros are accessories to the most corrupt regime after all. Man’s moral compass is damn near broken. lol. Always enjoy your commentary, even though I get you riled up. Appreciate you.

  • Happy New Year’s to all the poets at Stars Rite (even though I don’t celebrate the new year until April 1st, the REAL new year, and only fools feel otherwise) Keep on ritin’!!

    • Powerfully penned, Benjamin. This is an excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • This caught my eye the most and I could not shake it. Looking for the higher power and as you look its like a rush of happiness. very interesting piece of work
      “my energy burns
      in the demiurge Sun,
      turning the worm
      as bird songs die
      on a dopamine high”

    • This vibe hits hard with some heavy, cryptic and foreboding tones.
      Straight diggin this!!

      Much respect

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. Brutally honest write my friend. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I like how in the first stanza, you start out hazy and that no cares, then the next you explain the addiction and how everyone should relate in one form or another, because there are so many different addictions. Then you come back at the end and want to know who your true friends are.
      You lead the reader of this very nicely. Good write Nick;))
