Just out of frame
are the movie scenes of our lives
you’ll never see

Just out of frame
We cling to faded dreams
that never come true.

Just out of frame
is where the real story is

With furious action
we stave off what we fear the most
realizing what we’ve truly lost
Living in a world turned upside down
nothing is as it seems
we are wearing masks behind our masks.
Even our dreams are twisted

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...

Am I targeting Trump with my verse?
That vile man whose behavior gets worse
With each day that goes by?
Yes I am, and here's why:
Donald's reign is a scourge and a curse!

Quote of the week:

"The business of the poet and the novelist is to show the sorriness underlying the grandest things and the grandeur underlying the sorriest things."
