A torn soul with demons pulling me in every direction,
Just why did Bruno Mars get locked out of Heaven?
Fantasy is escapism and not all inherently bad,
But when in trouble try praying to the big dad.
Not beckoning to push my viewpoint on you, just give options,
You really think there's nothing afterwards, funerals and coffins?
They keep minds busy with work and entertainment,
So who do you think ultimately benefits from this arrangement?

Erm, I can't say that looks like E.T.! lol.
Not yet haha.
Poetic questions well asked. Motive is behind all behavior. Nicely written
Thank you, ever action has a reaction I guess.
Most welcome
My friend, there’s a real urgency in this…like you’re trying to wake someone up mid-thought. The question about who benefits from distraction is what really stays with me…it opens the piece beyond itself. I’ve sat in that same tension before, between questioning and being told what’s true. You brought that to the surface here. Strong piece, Shaun. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks pal, it is hard to wake people up.
Nicely done
