You don’t really know what is going on
Never see the bigger picture

Somewhere in the back
of your mind
is a notion that everything
you know is a lie
Trying to read between the lines
of your life
Torn up inside
Realizing all you believe is just a cheat.
Easy answers never come easy
#poetry #poet #poems #ebook
Keep your fingerprints
off my soul
Keep your cameras
out of my mind
So many things about me
you’ll never know
Got nothing to show
for all your bold
declarations
Suffering from empty soul disease
Difficult to see
but easy to believe
#Booksky #books #poetry #poet #poems
They’ll make you feel like you’re asking
for too much
when basic necessities are out of reach
Nobody here
makes anything clear
Nobody here
shares our fears
We’re on our own again

There’s no shame
anywhere you look
from Washington DC
to Main Street, USA
All full of crooks
The value of human life
is dropping faster than the U.S. dollar
all over the world
Got no shame in your violent actions
#booksky #books #ebooks #poetry #poet #poems #ebook #poets #reading #read
A fuse that refuses
to light in my soul
A dead spark
Hauntingly familiar
Embracing the tedium
of the days relentlessly
grinding on into oblivion
This dull ache is all that
remains of these empty days
#Booksky #poetry #poet #poems #ebook #poets #reading #read #books
Living out fake scenes
out of reality TV
but reality scares the hell
out of you
Got an artificial heart
and a hollow soul
There’s nothing you
really want to know
#booksky #books #poetry #poet #poems #ebook #poets #reading #read
Where have you ever been?
Always miss the real story
underneath
until later you wonder what
it all means
Left without any lasting dreams
Just a fool caught up
in your shallow world
#Booksky #books #poetry #poet #poems #ebook #poets #reading #read
Living in the past.
You realize how little lasts
Took so much for granted
Never knew what I had
I can’t get those feelings back
Everything seems so dark
My heart is empty
My soul is blank
Don’t know what to think
Always on the brink of disaster
#booksky #books #poetry #poet #poems #ebook #poets
Seem so smart.
So cool.
Got everyone fooled,
but long ago you lost
the passion in you.
You’re skin and bone,
but there’s nobody there.
Got nothing real to share.
Just a series of empty gestures
signifying nothing and no one lasting.
#poetry #poet #poems #ebook #poets #reading #read
Another atrocity
you refuse to see
Look the other way
as the body count rises
each day
Just numbers to you
It will take more than numbers
to explain all the loss and pain
of all the souls stripped away
so heartlessly
#Booksky #books #poetry
It will take more than numbers
to explain all the
loss
pain
and shame
You think you are protected
with your freedom and justice
Sitting in your easy chair
saying it’s such a shame.
You don’t really care.
It will take more than numbers
to explain away all this loss and pain.

Not a President……a terrorist!
BREAKING: Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has resigned from Congress just before the House Ethics Committee was set to announce sanctions.
She faced allegations of misusing millions in COVID relief funds tied to her family business, along with multiple campaign finance violations.
Prohibiting kids from being taught novels in school will do nothing but ensure that they are more ignorant and less able to synthesize information, and unable to make the cognitive progress to be able to comprehend or communicate clearly. Whoever is making these decisions is an enemy of education.
(FT) - Lufthansa has cancelled 20,000 flights between May and October to save fuel, one of the largest cuts by global airlines as jet fuel prices double following the Iran war.

The president is currently trying to steal 10 BILLION DOLLARS from the American people and it’s not the main news story in the country… not even close
Stop privatizing space.
Not only is her recovery complete.
Soon Sienna will be heading off to her very own family.
After years on the streets and endless puppies taken from her she will get the life she always deserved!
Settee down everyone, it's not that funny
Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online
The President of the United States is mentally ill and needs to be removed from office.
News Flash:
Our president is a fucking idiot.
Wonder what the president will make worse today.
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
So long, civility.
Poisonous tongues
spreading fear and
despair like a
soul-eating disease.
Blindness has stricken us.
No common ground can be found.
Only a quicksand of suspicion
divides us now.
