Hello Damian,

Your pieces often have a way to reflect on facets of truths. I feel that through your late night musings you offer shards of these. Somehow there were hints of sadness in this. I can only say I felt recognition reading your words, greetings and blessings,

"Leads to blame pointed in the wrong place" > so many people do that, unfortunately. While unknowingly the accusations they make are usually towards their own flaws.  
 
Love the personal tone of this, that it's directed at a friend. Great piece, my friend. I appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Duende. Honored to make your RL. Glad you connected with the write, my friend. I couldn't agree more, a lot of people these days love to project their flaws on to another. Appreciate you.

Oh my gosh, Damian. "Funneling booze into a hemorrhaging mind" what vivid imagery. Love it

To me, this sounds like you were staring off into the computer, thinking of what to say. The fact you put the waves in it reminds me of the Twilight Zone beginning credits (Alcohol affects everyone differently. Not glazing over that)

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. Honored to make your RL. I loved that line as well. The computer screen was in a former friend's studio, the waves are the digital equalizer. It was like a Twilight Zone episode, every time we worked on music together. Add alcohol into the mix, the wheels would always fall off at some point. Appreciate you.

There will always be those who blame others, ignoring their own faults through haze of alcohol.

Thanks so much for reading and your commentary, Metropolis. Totally agree. Appreciate you.

the hypocrisies of a mind that had sold it’s soul .. for the worldliness of lies lies lies .. drenching forever in dirts & drowsiness & darkness .. such strong rendition in n-concentrative pithy verses .. a voice of the narrative so power & polite n all realising .. yet versing philosophical in hope.. am ecstatic I find this tone in all your reads Damian.. consistent & pure xxxx

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Uma. Honored to make your RL. I'm glad you connected with the write, my friend. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

Great question. Alcohol is indeed, a demon. Literally. It is said that the word Alcohol comes from the Arabic “Al-Kuhl” which means “Body Eating Spirit”. It is the worst drug in the world and the one that is legally consumed.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tams. Honored to make your RL. Glad you connected with the write, my friend. Never heard that before, but it is accurate. Plus, I learned something new, I love learning new information. It is the worst, I abused it off and on again for over 30 years. My memory used to be so much sharper. lol. Appreciate you.

"When was it you sold your light my friend?"
Given in the times we're living in and where we're heading, I could ask that of many folks. With no light, some folks can't see where they're going.
Thought provoking write Damian.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Wally. I'm glad you connected with the write, my friend. I loved that line as well. It's dark times, we definitely need to hold on to the light. Appreciate you.

I sometimes think the mind is our worst enemy. Especially when denial comes into play. The tendency to cast blame anywhere but ourselves is so self-destructive. It allows one to ignore the wounds...which then get infected. That kind of damage can be very dangerous. Those last 2 lines are like a punch to the gut

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. Glad you connected with the write, my friend. It is our worst enemy sometimes that's for sure. I loved those lines as well. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.
