All their good advice
won’t help you get any closer to
peace of mind

Only a conceit that gives you
a temporary reprieve from your
heartbreak in the middle
of the night
amzn.to/3xyRsqB

Even our past heartaches
are trapped in a recycled daze
Another fresh take on dead ideas and you call
that progress

These are rerun days.
Trapped in a recycled daze
Only the names and faces change

After the money
lovers,
so-called friends
passion
and ambition is gone
What do we have left?
A space where our souls used to be
They call it the abyss.

#Booksky #poetry #poet #poems #ebooks

Sapping all our strength
draining our minds of ideas and dreams
in the name of a progress
we’ll never see
Just another series of empty deals
a soulless pact
as they steal all we have
or will ever have

This is the state of our disunion
A notice of dissolution.
Failures of communication

Embracing fantasies and easy lies
instead of hard solutions
until it’s too late to heal all the
heartbreak.

So…reminders I shouldn’t have to post:
Rape is violence, not sex.
NO always means NO.
When someone is drunk or incapacitated — you help them. You don’t take advantage or abuse them.
Morality and decency comes from us — not from a church or some book.
We’re all in this life and world together

My life is in ruins
My dreams are burned out
I am one of the walking wounded
I am not alone
I see walking wounded all over this town
Got broken eyes that see through
the lies we all tell ourselves
just to get through another night

Struggling through these empty days
lost in a bitter haze
writing
imagination a lifeline
as I spit on the boot heel of
#fascism
my words
my protest
carving away
cruelty
hypocrisy
from pious lies
wrapped up in fake patriotism
freedom is in
its death throes
you look on indifferently
I rage
#poet

Lost on Alienation Avenue.
I never thought I would feel so blue.
Broken down and losing heart,
because of the lack of heart
inside of you.

Got no friends.
Got nobody.
Even my shadow
won’t back me up
when the chips are down.
Even my shadow
doesn’t want me around.

My frank case against the #Trump presidency in 10 parts...#TheTrumpYears is a #poetic howl about living under the daily nightmare of the first #Trump administration
It’s very relevant for the horror we are living through today...
