Addressing the Left-wing motto: "Who can we blame next?"
Six generations ago, at the age of 22, my ancestor enlisted in the military (on the C.S.A. side). He was NOT a slave-holder and (as family documents and his diary recorded) felt “The belief that one man may hold dominion over another without that man’s consent is an abomination against the Lord and all his teachings.” A neighbor’s letter recounted my ancestor’s sharing lessons from “his Testament”--- likening the slavery of his times to the enslavement of the Jews and God’s terrible wrath brought down upon the Egyptians. THOSE principles of his are what make me proud of my ancestor, not...

An Open Letter to law breaking demonstrators, anarchists, agitators and their criminal sycophants:
Consider----
“an uncontrolled or uncontrollable mob is only the voice of madness, not the voice of the people.”-
Robert Kennedy
“the Revolution revolutionizes the Counter-Revolution.”-
Regis DeBray
“You say you want a revolution….but when you talk about destruction, don’t you know you can count me out…” –
John Lennon
Of course, Black lives matter. ALL LIVES MATTER! The liberty, protection and rights to equality for ALL Americans are NOT debatable points. It’s too bad that the efforts to move those goals closer to fruition have been co-opted by...

GET A GRIP
Get a grip
I yelled to you
Before you threw
Yourself at me
Get a grip
I silently tell
Protective hands
You bruised and battered
I yelled to you
Before you threw
Yourself at me
Get a grip
I silently tell
Protective hands
You bruised and battered

ECHOES
The backs of my hands
Know your balled-up anger
Better than the back (or inside)
Of my head
Thankfully,
Though their echoes
Won’t let me
Forget:
Everything I try to hold
Threatens to fall through
My weakened
Clasp.
Know your balled-up anger
Better than the back (or inside)
Of my head
Thankfully,
Though their echoes
Won’t let me

Threatens to fall through

Repercussions
You rise
We fall
You fly
We crawl
Seems like you don't care no more
You got your selfish way, now get the fuck out that door
You've left the family in tatters
But as long as your happy I guess nothing else matters
Your actions have caused so much pain
They've turned me inside out and they're driving me insane
You rise
We fall
You fly
We crawl
Now we're living with so much stress
You're doing what you want but we're stuck with your mess
Life is hard, and you've made it much...

Choice Points
I had to wonder how he became this way. He was a monster, but had he always been a monster? ". - Penelope Sky
Compassion tugs inside the heart
Her vulnerability displayed for the monster
His deviant foreplay with cruelty prickling my skin with a chill
Curiosity lingers after mercy is delineated
His instinct to be wretched and violent
His typical way of interacting
How did he come to be sinister and callous?
Was malicious condemnation only a temptation?
The choice point in the path of his life
The choice...

Love Notes
Their relationship was romantic rage,
his punches, love notes to her face;
blood, the ink dripping from the page,
lines she wish could be secretly erased.
Cursive and italics all over her body,
ribs usually highlighted in bold font;
friends and family inquire like literati,
her answers are always nonchalant.
He constantly begs for her forgiveness,
making the notes sting a little less,
explosive scribblings a painful business,
especially on the inside of her chest.
Tears stain markings current and past, ...

Bound
Beholden.
My exposed,
vulnerable body
veiled by
phantom scars
reminiscent of
time spent
in a torture chamber
of fraudulent love
invisible branding
still burning my flesh
Can I ever belong
to another?
Should my lips
ever embrace one more,
how much pain
will they taste?
Does the essence of you
still linger?
a spicy warning
meant to daunt
potential mates.
Can passion ever
ignite again?
Or is your memory,

- The Raven Age / evil silence
Shh ... it's our disturbed secret
You must keep the silence
No one can know about what happens in
Silent secrecy between us
Evil kept in silence
Fables told to others that don't deserve to be kept in a dark and evil silence
Fear the motivation behind the lies

Psychological Warfare
Lies and secrecy
delusion and fables
Self fabrications to
hide your own shame
Denying your true nature
Twisting words
Spinning stories
Rewriting history
Misrepresentation of information
Bending, distorting truth
Blatant denial of facts
Wily attempts to shift blame
Evading responsibility
Minimization
Magnification
Generalization
Dramatization

Tools of distraction
Ego protection
Maintaining the mask of deception ...

Mausoleum
I don't think he's concerned with sins. He'd have to kill himself. He's only concerned with revenge.". - W. L. Knightly
Hearing confessions of sins hasn't perturbed him any
His own confessions buried with his skeletons Dwelling in his mausoleum
Plotting revenge over and over
Days and nights spent in darkness
Concerned with his bloodlust
Sadistic and terrifying with his games
Obituaries hidden in the corners
Horrors as secrets bringing comfort to his self-loathing habits
Inflicting pain on hearts that love...

Lies
I had thought us happy but your contempt changed that
I’ll never know why you became so bitter, full of scorn
You said you felt trapped, weary even
That my desire made you feel resentful , miserable
so you alienated me from everyone making me lonely
Frustration and irritation made you a monster
You caused me to feel nervous, overwhelmed by your hatred
I was so bewildered and sad, i’d tried to make you happy
i wanted so much to keep us together but you almost broke me
The lies that poured from your lips was shocking
You made me feel...
