Sarah
She looked over her shoulder.
Apollo was rubbing oil on his hands.
Rubbed them on her back.
Afterwards, he reached down to her chest.
He got a kick on the head.

At

was about
to make a bust
against drug dealers

someone stuck a needle into
her arm. The next day, Gwen woke up in
a motel room naked and so alone.

Like Nothing Matters
I served a sentence of self imposed
exile because I couldn’t grow enough
to grasp the concepts of years of failures
fallouts and repeating cycles of mistakes
I’ve walked back in with hat-in-hand-contrition
too many times and it’s always been
with a pack of matches in my back pocket
because recovering pyromaniacs are worse
than drug addicts
every long winded apology and self exploratory
delve into stream of conscious delivered
new insights that led to dead ends and
falling into the same patterns
...

An Explosive Pizza
Pizza deliveryman Mike Rotchburns was as dependable as he was predictable. His daily routine was invariable and he was never in trouble with the law. In 2012, while standing outside the bank he just robbed, he told police officers surrounding him that he had been kidnapped by three people and coerced into committing this crime. A simple pipe bomb was elaborately locked around his neck. Rotchburns begged police to let him go because the kidnappers had set the bomb to go off minutes after the well planned robbery. While they waited for the bomb squad to arrive, the device exploded, killing...

No big loss
Seymour Butts lived quietly at home with his mother in Nebraska. The 22 year old's social circle consisted mostly of friends with whom he visited daily via webcam on the internet. While drinking vodka and smoking pot one evening in 2002, his chat room buddies encouraged him to keep popping tranquilizers and other pills he had handy. Butt''s mother Shelly found him the next afternoon. She didn't notice anything out of the ordinary and spent the previous evening doing crossword puzzles in the next room.

A Plastic Spoon for Matilda
11:58 AM
I’m getting hungry
The day is already dragging
As you may or may not know from my last write titled "Early Morning Blues"
I open my large cooler
I pull out my jar of crunchy peanut butter and a ziplock bag of raisins and an assortment of nuts
I was looking forward to mixing the two together
But to my dismay, I forgot my spoon
SHIT!
Now I must take a walk to the cafeteria
I entered the cafeteria for the 1st time in over 5 years
Nothing has changed
I noticed immediately the smell of...

Emotional
My emotions are much bigger than me
I try to keep them in, but they spill out eventually
Flooding and dragging me into the ground
And they can’t even see what keeps me down
You can’t even see how you’ve hurt me now
Oh
You can’t even see you’ve hurt me now
Every comment cuts a little more
You’re joking that I’m crazy
but that’s how you made me
You love that I’m insecure
Holding back on the loving
So I’ll take your nothing
and I don’t deserve more
The current gets stronger and stronger
Increasing in violence...

Dumb
In the early 1960's a man from Russia found an old artillery shell left over from the war, and used it as an anvil for more then 10 years. One day he was blown to bits when his hammer hit the shell in just the right place.

Less is Happiness
As if I should care
The less I can understand
Makes me feel joyful

Conflagration
I was roused from sleep that night,
an awakening that was
like the jab of a nightmare.
With heart pounding, I wobbled
toward the door, then I stopped—
the commotion was outside.
Cautious now, I creaked it
open and sirens rushed in.
Barefoot on spiky, wet grass,
I reached the fence and tiptoed,
I felt the heat on my face
saw the skyline set aflame.
America is burning.
an awakening that was
like the jab of a nightmare.
With heart pounding, I wobbled
toward the door, then I stopped—
the commotion was outside.
Cautious now, I creaked it
open and sirens rushed in.
Barefoot on spiky, wet grass,
I reached the fence and tiptoed,
I felt the heat on my face
saw the skyline set aflame.
America is burning.

Devil's in human skin
Can you tell me why are we still dealing with the devil's in human skin, for sure when is it enough of the lies and false stories of the media networks. WHO just want to keep us separated and divided, as they want you to believe that what they are saying, that what they say is the truth. 🤨 Remember that in this cycle of life there will always be good versus evil, as the devil's in human skin, that they doesn't want you to think for thyself, about what you really want and need to sustain your own life. For even the shills are against you as well as they, try to blind you from seeing...
