The Proverbial Middle Finger

Poetry

Death clouds irritate a parched skyHuman parasites feast on liquid goldDismantled a dream with a blatant lieWorld keeps falling as hate takes hold Onward towards the spiritual divideImpossible to sit on the fence foreverLackluster jesters swallow their pride While the king...

  Reminds me that Tom Petty quote “I did it because I had no choice’. Some of us poets just are built to write.

  What Nick said is pretty spot on. We write because to do otherwise destroys us to some degree. We give it the middle finger because that’s all we can do. Point out the hypocrisy, the hatred, the corruption & the willful blindness in the only means open to us. Somebody asked me recently “Yeah, but aren’t you just preaching to the choir?” I’m always mindful of the fact that words are a wave…once released, who knows where they’ll stop? So yeah, keep bringing it, my friend

    Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s our voice, to not use it brings aggravation for sure. We writers are pretty good at detecting bullshit. To quote the late great, Lemmy Kilmister: “I will keep doing it, because I’m not qualified to do anything else.” Appreciate you.

  I’m pleased to read you once again, Brenda. If only you weren’t so haunted though. I understand the loss of identity myself, so big hugs..
  Seems like you lost someone too, and for that, I’m sorry. Here’s a little extra light, mixed with love. 🩷✨

  Honestly, I would buy an album of songs with lyrics only written by you. Im not even going to try & pin a favorite line. This one is full of them. 2012? Are you sure you’re not a prophet? Im gonna start tracking what you’re saying, I swear, my friend

    Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I am thinking when school starts back up of possibly arranging some musical ideas, using the GarageBand software. We’ll see how it goes. lol. I miss being in the studio, and using the producer side of my brain. I learned a lot working on “Heartstrings” it consumed 3 1/2 years of my life. I have no crystal ball, nor do I have any superpowers that I’m aware of, unless being a Pisces is a prophetic sign of sorts. lol. By all means keep track, maybe you’ll discover my secret, though I truly don’t know that I have one. But I’m always accepting help in figuring out why I do what I do. Appreciate you.
