The Pressure
Follow me into the room of hatred
Don't turn away don't close your eyes
Walk with me hand in hand to the end
Don't hide your face I see through your lies
The pressure
Pushing on me
Mistakes
Never give in never break
The hatred
Burning in me
The pain
Never give in, never break
Drown yourself in the name of a fake god
You think you're free you think you're right
Drown yourself in the name of nothing
You'll save yourself but through self sacrifice
Don't turn away don't close your eyes
Walk with me hand in hand to the end
Don't hide your face I see through your lies
The pressure
Pushing on me
Mistakes
Never give in never break
The hatred
Burning in me
The pain
Never give in, never break
Drown yourself in the name of a fake god
You think you're free you think you're right
Drown yourself in the name of nothing
You'll save yourself but through self sacrifice

The fight begins, till death
We all dream of peace
Heard the tales of euphoria
We've all seen the land of hate
No tears in our eyes
No pain inside
No fear for us to hide
Two fists I'm ready to throw down
United, break down the walls
Shotgun blasts sound out the call now
The fight begins for us all
We've got to fight back
This burden in our hands
We've got to let them know
Rise up ready to attack
We are the final stand
We've got to let them know
We've got to let them know
This is the end
The fight begins, till death
Heard the tales of euphoria
We've all seen the land of hate
No tears in our eyes
No pain inside
No fear for us to hide
Two fists I'm ready to throw down
United, break down the walls
Shotgun blasts sound out the call now
The fight begins for us all
We've got to fight back
This burden in our hands
We've got to let them know
Rise up ready to attack
We are the final stand
We've got to let them know
We've got to let them know
This is the end
The fight begins, till death

No Gods, No Masters
Into the mouth of war
Break through the walls of shadow
From the fires we will rise
Silence the ones who hide
We are the faithless! We are those who stay, nameless!
Into the gates of blackness
Now the pain is rising
Tortured, hallowed in hate!
We stand alone
Into the graves of eternity
This world fills with hate
Slowly we make our ways
The time has begun
Consumed by greed and anger
Now the time is near
Callused are the minds of the world
We hide ourselves
Consumed by fear and secrets

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. ...

The wrath of good
I needed to gain experience
before I could act like I knew anything,
so, now, be on the lookout
for the wrath of good.

AS IT DRAWS NEAR
Here we are in a place that has been changed by so many things, on so many levels of humanity. 🤨 For sure it's to the point we can't tell the difference, between the lines or what is TRUE and what is the lies that have to do with now. 😞 YET it has a lot to do with what is happening now. 😭 For it's that time of year for election, to choose a candidate 🤨 that you want to place your trust within them. For sure what do you want and need to sustain your own life 🤔 who do you believe that has your best interest in mind and heart and soul. For from generation...

HOLDING POEMS PRISONERS
I
once read years ago
that most of us human
beings have one or more
poems held prisoners in
our minds, thoughts and souls.
IN
conversations we affirm quietly
to others, "I have a poem I've
been planning to write", or
scribble it on paper and then
toss it into the trash.
THE
number one reason most poems
are kept in solitary confinement
is we're afraid of what those outside
in the world of "Everybody else's work
is perfect" will say.
DARE
to release the poem or poems
you are...

JUDGING A POEM
I
Confess that I am among
the innumerable souls that
dare to venture into the magical
and amazing world of writing
and reading poetry.
I
use to try to write and judge
poems by syntax, grammar,
and all the rules Mrs. Know it All
taught in English 301.
I
use to read the great and
well known poets and conclude
that "I might as well forget trying
to write even a simple poem."
THEN
after years of silence but still
in the corner of my heart there
was the urge to write something,
maybe even...

Tattoo My Reasons
In the feeling tattoo my reasons
For who I am and why I’m here
It feels so accidental why did we meet
I’m entrapped by the sight of you
We look away from today start planning tomorrow
We want a life that’s residential
It could depend on who we elect
Tomorrow might be so far away
Today is here and it’s fucking scary
Don’t mean to curse but it’s apparent
That you have to elect someone who is
Truly Presidential and not a firestarter
Look to the future let the past...

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 ...
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 ...

Brain drain of culture
Brain drain of culture
Teachers and nurses
Run for the exits
As right wing madness
Seeps in local school boards
Putting matches to literature
Telling them you can’t be gay
Or be he she or they
Mickey Mouse is an outlaw
Magic kingdom not so free
Down in Texas wheelchair of cruelty
Letting little school kids be mowed down
Or freezing with no power
As cops in the hallway on their phones
Are afraid of a one man killing machine
He’s giving permits to kill out like candy
