Right Before Noon
Visions creep through marginalized guilt
Rubbing other individuals the wrong way
Stirring inside this house made of glass
Casting the first stone just to begin the day
Losing faith in this busted way of thinking
Watching lost souls sell themselves for fame
Outside in the distance silence lasts forever
Only certain players change never the game
Confusion nests inside this revolving illusion
Little whispers suggesting invalid information
Offering sexual favors to strange bedfellows
While being kept under constant observation
Locked away from light on the dark side of the moon
Penciled into meet the angel of death right before noon

Author's Note
Late night musing. Really just started writing, and made adjustments on the fly. Ended up here resting on the street of dreams. Appreciate you.

What an amazing piece, Damian, you really rock the observational category with your sharp view on the world and humanity. "Watching lost souls sell themselves for fame" > this line stood out for me, made me think of the so called influencers.
Love "dark side of the moon" and you know why...

You'd be correct, Duende. I was more or less talking about influencers. Yes I know why.. Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support. Honored to make your RL. Appreciate you.

Dear D,
For me, this is such an interesting look at the inside of a travelers soul. The souls we trade for something we want but everything has a string or two. I enjoyed the story line of this traveler. You bring it from start to finish in a very readable way that engages your reader. Terrific writing. H🌷

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Vision. You'd be correct it's that, Jeff Keith. It's from the song, "Heavens Trail (No Way Out)" I'm a huge Tesla fan, love their music. Appreciate you.

Seen Tesla live maybe 20 years ago when they returned after their 10 year hiatus. Storing band live.
Now if you say the word Tesla, people will just refer to Elon Musk and his car.

Very true, Vision. Or that the band named themselves after, Nikola Tesla. Who was a man before his time. Appreciate you.

If this is where you go just musing, it would be fascinating to see where you'd go with focused thought. Damn...

Love the quote. Totally relate. This poem is a great eye opener to reality. Very much connect with this. It is interesting to see some people's poems associate the sun with destruction. Might want to research that. Youll find cool stuff on it. Very good write.

Look for Blue Star Kachina! My poetry has a lot to do with that kind of stuff. People might not realize it cuz I mask it with metaphors. Great job! I enjoyed!
