Chains of Freedom
Hold up
Don’t talk
Or the grim reaper will steal your voice.
Words turn weapons stripped of choice
Next you're in cuffs
Bound and subdued
Dragged to halls where fairness is skewed.
“Arise my Lord” the bailiff calls
But justice has crumbled within those walls.
Judged for truths you dared to say
Now silenced tossed like waste-away.
In the jungle of law where power preys
Your rights dissolve in a smoky haze.
In the heart of the city beneath neon lights
Lies Mide a dreamer who fought for rights.

My Thought for Today: Silence Kills
Most often, suffering happens behind closed doors. Whatever the reason, be it depression, anxiety, abuse, neglect, loneliness, shame, serious mental Illness, addiction or addictive behavior, anything that causes a person to suffer is usually difficult for someone to talk about, so reaching out can sometimes feel near impossible. As the suffering builds, the harder it seems to ask for help and can it can become a continuous loop of anguish. The perfect recipe for that one thought to creep in and grab hold. And when that happens the people in your life may not recognize the warning signs. ...

FADED GLORY
There it stood on its pole
The red, white, and blue of old
Waving violently against the wind
As it found itself hinged
Intertwined by the blowing air.
The Old Faded Glory still waving there.
Many days of old have come and gone
Standing proud during each patriotic song
The emblem of American ground
Rippling the outroar cries of the warfare sound
Of long ago…dating back centuries of time.
Once gallantly and vibrantly you did stand
When soldiers encamped to conquer the land.
Yet, here you are…still standing as you wave ...

Truth Serum
How real can you be with a person
bullshit aside
Put my thoughts in your head
like fuck all pride
Really real talking facts
not censored caring of perception
Offensive speaking truth
with no redacted reflection
The world’s full of dumb fucks
in howling applaud like trained seals
Passionate mesmerized in stupidity
overzealous who can’t keep it real
Let alone common sense or opinion
to decipher deceptive holes in life
As if trapdoors in a world of unknowns
is labeled in black and white
Clenched I look out at crowds...

If Only Sheep Need A Leader, Then Why Are You Such A Follower?
Hello sheep of planet earth
I'm here to tell you something about most of you
You're all being duped as you live your pathetic, mundane lives
The ruling class are watching and following every single move you make
Don't forget, get the latest smart device for yourself or for your home
You deserve it
Can you picture life without all of these awesome, high-tech devices
No!?
I figured you'd answer with no
You're all so goddamn lame and fake
Everyone is so comfortable and lethargic
That's the key to their control
You all rather watch some...

Today is World Sjögren's Day
World Sjögren's Day is celebrated annually on July 23rd as a day to spread awareness about this life-altering disease while also raising valuable funds for Sjögren's research, education, and advocacy.
It’s a day where patients are encouraged to use their voice to educate those around them and to help spread the message that Sjögren's is a serious, systemic, and prevalent disease. And it’s meant to put a face on the millions of people living with Sjögren's or who suffer with symptoms but who are not yet diagnosed.
