Had to sit down with this one. Worth the sit though, Tristan.
Not ignorant re the churches hand in hand with colonialism but need to sus out Mr Mullins as we have not been properly introduced (I’m deficient in so many ways🙃). His vioce is so raw. Pain?

No way, Rich was coming back from the dead, but he left his mark.
Quite intrigued by a religious song writer. Did sales go up when he died, and was the legend born.

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.
