Thank you for sharing this Peter. I’m not sure it needs another person’s ink. The raw emotion you put into this really hits home.

Preach on from the land down under. Great work Peter.

Powerful piece. It’s always important to know history and seeing how that turned out. I think after this administration is done, we’ll have trials and there we’ll find out more of the evil that men/women did. My heart goes out to those broken families and protesters voicing for the voiceless.

I appreciate the effort, Peter — but I don’t much care for the AI voice reading it when the “LISTEN” voice is clicked. How many pages do you have that on?

This is dark and reminds me of something that could be a thriller movie

Hauntingly penned, Brenda. Excellent dark write my friend. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

Damian

I don’t know when we let it start but it is not going away any time soon no matter how many get hurt.

Much needed words Damian 🙏🏻

And here I thought this was going to be a Metalicca tribute…
I dunno dude, America is pretty messed up and confused by a lot of things. I don’t even try to understand most of the craziness coming from all sides. The aggression and violence, and antagonism’s and instigating is so rampant. I don’t see any solutions either, in any of it all.
Thankfully we can chill within our creative worlds and that helps us deal with it.
Your write is spot on. Bravo.

Damian. Your social commentary is spot on here. Your message is clear and your voice is loud & intelligent.

Thank you for voicing something that’s been on my mind for quite sometime now. I had a title in mind but your piece has influenced me. Wonderful work sir. Let’s be the voice for the voiceless.

Sigh…where to begin? I’m really late in arriving to this piece and it’s going to take me a while to catch up again. This is such a solid expression of the insanity taking place these days. And as more has occurred since the writing of this, it doesn’t appear to be ending. What we can take and hold as hope is that my fellow Minnesotans said fuck the tyranny and stepped up. Not in violence, but in peaceful protest and consistently showing up. The intent of the regime was to instill enough fear and chaos immediately to cower everyone quietly into their assigned boxes. That didn’t happen. They chose a winter people in their hibernation season. Wake the bear…deal with the repercussions. They’re Vikings, for fuck sake! We do outnumber the guns and the bullies. That’s something to hold on to, my friend.

Passionately penned, Thomas. Beautiful write my friend, can’t go wrong with Van Morrison. Appreciate you.

Damian

This has a nice build to it Thomas. The wait and the mind, taking you where the body wants to go.

A lovely detailed piece. As Damian also said, Van Morrison is the king! GREAT!

Bloomin brill good sir and I most definitely aint talking fish .. Neville

Well, damn. From the tedium of the ticking clock to the eruption of passion upon her arrival, this was a held breath piece! Damn…

Thanks. You are great.

He wrote that? It’s really good.

Dear P,

I really appreciated dreaminess of this piece. It has a great meter and I liked the plot twist at the end. It reminds me no matter what we are in life there’s a poet in all of us. Lovely share. H🌷

I’m loving that this was captured so honestly and with simplicity that makes it very special. Thank you for sharing. Those are treasures that must be kept in the family for a long long time.
