Keith (Vision_of_insanity)
Not afraid to cut people with his ink
Often saying the quiet part out loud
Throwing barbs from the kitchen sink
He knows how to provoke the proud
Underneath the darkness there is light
Hidden in metaphor or lurking in humor
Doesn’t pull punches or throw the fight
A warning to the fainthearted consumer
Sticks and stones often break bones
While words bring out honest results
So put down the fucking smartphones
He’s taking down cults and weak adults
His visions are packed full of insanity
It’s just the world as his eyes see it
I’m not gonna lie there will be profanity
He’s a smooth poet with endless grit

Author's Note
For the Living Memorial competition. This one is dedicated to, Keith. A talented writer with a lot of grit. He's not afraid to go there, that place we've all been, he's just not afraid to say the quiet part out loud. I respect him a great deal. I admire his fearlessness, he goes places I don't even dare. Appreciate you, brother.

Make me whole, set the stage
Fill it with anger, fill it with rage
No I don't know what's today
I know it falls in the year of decay."

The gift of being brutally honest is a fierce one. Most people are afraid to rock the boat so they soft-sole around issues. Fantastic tribute to a truth speaker!
