Traditionally power comes from on high. Many tremble at hidden power sheathed by obscuring clouds. This may leave those below parched. But then again maybe I reach too far and it is a majestic site and nothing more

I think I read into this piece the shattering effect we have upon this world, with unforseen consequences that can leave scortched earth in their wake. I hope I haven\'t misinterpreted, but find these three lines quite powerful.

this is so much like something I have incorporated into the manuscript of my next book \'A Handful of Ghosts\' .. but far too far removed for you to ever try to do me for plagiarism .. Neville

I somehow get the feeling that you\'ve had a peak at my latest MRI. I thought it was there, but nothing showed up. Thank you my friend, I don\'t feel so alone.

(these desperate fools n their opinionated idiocy
keyboard warriors, puking hate
just to be afforded
a shard of recognition
by attempting to incite wroth
doing it all, while claiming
that gang warfare righteous fallacy
in their judgementally warped religious zealotry)
lol
ignore the noise, dear poet
this is wonderfully succinct and incisive
Poetry
cuts straight through, to that plague
of weary we accumulate
\'to be or not to be\'
Shakespeare understood, so empathetically
is it for nothing, we so strived
in our youth
is our reward this hollow, silence
we\'ve had to embrace
to save, what\'s left of our sanity...
in each next step we take
or blank canvas, we tattoo
we dare to ask, boldly!
and on...
we fight our great fight, daily
smiling, at that mocking twilight
defiantly

Some people help the people. Quoting a brilliant mind...
And my own words... not exactly so, more or less...
Some people rape other people.
Some people act like animals or apes.
Some people control more or less...
To a certain level their inner-desires,
needs and sexuality.
Some people molest and rape, real live breathing children, that you can touch.
Some people do despicable things, dreadful, horrible things to other people.
Not all people are alike.
Not all people are the same.
Some people are inhumane.
Some people it\'s a shame to real people, to even call them people.
Some people deserve to be in real prison, behind bars.
Some people deserve, death penalty and capital punishment.
Many people deserve, true, real...
JUSTICE. Of course... people.

This morning on my walk I heard a Cardinal calling. I stopped several times and waited, trying to locate the source. Then finally, high in a tree top, devoid of leaves,I found my little red feathered friend, and in the distance I heard its the call answered. You have spoken so eloquently \"we may ever need all the help we may never understand\". How simple the bird\'s call, and what might we learn if only we had the sense to listen. Beautiful dear poet!

No hungry generations tread thee down;

In ancient days by emperor and clown:\'

indeed, dear Poet
we do jump-in, swim
no pathing to that we dream
mere instinct as life\'s, guide
and yet, and yet
we do so love, those butterfly
gifted, strokes..
may we find our bubble of truth
to keep us believing
till those survival shores, appear
or that mercy finale
greets us, as reward for fighting
far beyond, strife\'s
mirage bell tolls, in our pebbled
hope fuelled paths
upon callous life\'s, storm waves

Me carpet is stained each Christmas morning with soot. I knows that much. Some fat guy comes down the chimney once a year. Dunno how he fits in. He must chuck the presents down the chimney, causing the soot in me lounge.
Summat like that! lol.

At first sight dismal, but no! I think not. Plundered and pecked to fall and rot, we as the Avatar reminds return in other forms. Our words taken by others, transformed, their source forgotten, they live on, as fire, the inventor long forgotten, except in myth as Prometheus. In nature all things have their purpose.

Loved this short piece. Hope you are not in this state. It\'s metaphor is deep in that the light once shed in life now turns to smoke and black. A finalization but also a mark of our past existence. In raising many would think of the soul as it separates from the body, going up to where many see as heaven. I prefer to see it as a transformation and a lasting memory. Lovely

so true! dear Poet
(generations, tasked to dream
within bit-sized hope
volition, bastardised by capitalist greed
seeking solace in ticks, swipes and clicks
while subjugating our horizons
within a marginalised scope
of ourselves)

great showcasing of your poetic talent
