in spite of the futility of hoping
in the badlands this landscape has become,
i found that it is impossible to #renounce the idea
we have permanently lost our way
to a brighter future

#vss365 #renounce

Like giving a car a road
a black, sun hungry line
of words from a radio
with no destination
but what other other
people have to do today
saying "never end. Never"
knowing i have to choose
which way at an intersection
i have somewhere to go too

we haven't fallen behind in judgement
but strategically placed by lack of stabiltiy

no momentum is carrying us forward
stalled innovation due to lack of clarity

we're pawns caught up in a corrupt game of life
but can we #renounce their ambiguity
not unless we become one of them #vss365 #poetry

“LET HER GO!” I screamed across the hangar.

“Not until you say it!” He held her in a chokehold.

“Alright! I #renounce the throne.”

He laughed, “You think that’s what this is about? You’re the cause of this! All this is on you! Say it!”

I hung my head,“I was never the hero of this story.”

I was staring into the pitch black night sky when the stars suddenly moved
A hand reached down to grab me, a child god's hand
#Renounce your faith, renounce your gods
If you don't want to be a plaything; you better join the game

You can decide to stop doing that thing.
You don't have to tell anyone else.

#Renounce is to give it up in public
like you're a tree falling in the forest.

I hereby
#renounce
the 6am alarm
by a mere click
to the off groove

retirement
now welcomes
my time
not
their time

next day
at 5:57am
I learnt
my body did not sign
the resignation forms

#vss365 #tanka

I renounce all regret
and conquer shame
for I am a spark
of fire in this
vivid blink
called life.
The cosmos
dreamed me here
and my work
is not yet done.

"They aren't too happy about us, no," he admitted, lowering his gaze. "They have always frowned on relationships outside of Avalon."
"Will said I could #renounce Albion and it might help." She stopped him when he opened his mouth to argue. "All I have is you, I'd be losing nothing."

The shower is sorted, the coffee made, and that means chill time. Yeah. #vss365 #haiku

#renounce negatives
Grasp all freedom to the self
Live with lust's pleasure

The castle
Became her
Firey domain
The venturing
Foreign Princes,
And the
Spoiled nobilty

To the Phoniex,
Mere village Billies
Willing to renounce
Themselves at
The Steel heals
Of her Dragon
Skinned boots

"Wat does she want me ta say again?" Riz let out a big sigh.
"Alice wants you to #renounce your childish ways," I said, looking at the letter again.
"Argh! Do I ave ta!"
"If you want more money from her... What is the money for?"
"Err...Ya betta not knowin!"

"Taraxi, how did your people end up living in these frozen tunnels?"

“It's a long story. An ancestor of mine headed a small group of Lostai dissidents that #renounce-d the imperialistic turn our government had taken. They were persecuted for their beliefs and fled Losta."

Winter approaching
The oak renounces its leaves
Predicting first frost

#vss365 #Renounce #Haiku

I don't renounce faults.
I observe and try to learn.
Lessons in mistakes.
