Thomas W Case said:
This has a stark, almost prophetic quality. It feels like a fragment from a larger poem, but there’s already a strong tension between time, religion, music, and historical memory.
The opening is especially intriguing:
“Ragamuffin records sober
Inside an empty, abandoned
Church—shaped like a watch—
His time about to expire.”
That church/watch image does a lot. The abandoned church represents a fading institution, while its watch-like shape makes the building itself a symbol of time running out. And “ragamuffin records sober” has an intentionally strange, almost surreal texture.

How can people worship some poor guy nailed to a board without it leave a mark on the collective unconscious ?

I forget I have to always look for acrostics with you Tristan. So many atrocities committed in the name of righteousness. Well written Tristan

Sometimes you just have to walk away.
Re-group, and let the actions speak louder than the words.
In the end, you usually cut the ties of pains in the asses.

Hi Tristan, I like this write. It\'s relatable to me in some ways. I love the \"scatological scatter / to plant more weeds\" line 😂
Don\'t mistake silence for weakness. It\'s better to not bite sometimes and stay silent.
I know the feeling.

Tristan this one speaks with pent up frustration turned anger and resentment at being misunderstood, beaten on public display to show power. How does one respond to a deaf bully. Well spoken my friend.

A Fucking Care
Paul Bell said:
I was drawn to a fucking just as a blond girl waked by.
Now i realise the leeches are drawing the last bit of blood from your body.
The lord did mention Sunday as a day of rest, but then work brought out double money for a Sunday, and we all became athiests.
The devil says rest when you die.

Now this sounds a bit like my X-rated poem, which starts off, though Popeye\'s ears burn at hearing it (lol):
Ohhhh, grrrr, F, F, F, and F
And furthermore F, F, F, and F!!! :)

Okay, had to google Mike Hunt, being from the other side of the pond.
I\'m thinking now, the card is worth more than him.
Whish I had kept all my football cards.

Maybe a Bo Jackson that could play both sports at the highest level. A fun read my friend but somehow I feel it has deeper meaning. Maybe it is just knowing that you always disguise things a bit.

A true President will lead with peace and logic a passion for what is right (justice) the others will cause riots. 🌹
