An American flag flying againt a deep blue sky with free verse that reads: I used to loathe the snail's pace that the government moves at. Then came 2024 - destruction running at social media speed. Now I understand! The friction protected us from swindlers, morons and psychopaths. Now my loathing is reserved for those who would destroy our society for their personal gains. Poem and photo by Robert Emond.

The Well of Lost Wishes
Forgotten
The branches cover it
Nobody goes there anymore
Yet
My coin is still there.
The well keeps everything
it was given
in the dark.

An semi-abstract drawing that is turned into a haiga. The picture shows a figure with two very long arms reaching up towards a ball that is made of a coiling wavy strand. The haiku reads: hurt living in fear, the world seems unbearable- embrace love to live Art by Josiah poem by Robert Emond.

My poem called Flickering. … An isolated candle sat beside me. Its flickers traced the walls in the room, and reminded me of the past. Thoughts flickered in my head, of a time no one existed in anymore. And when I finally came back— a serendipitous solitude awaited me… once I blew the candle out.
It’s been a while since I last posted a poem from my small journal 😅
This poem came to me when I bought a candle and lit it up. Literally the first candle I’ve ever bought and lit 😂
It smells good 👍🏻

As if we're only machines Our lives are fractioned out By forces beyond our control As if we're only consumers Our needs are measured in dollars By those who could easily freely give As if we're only voters Our actions are defined by ballots By those who stand above the law As if we're only citizens Our rights are determined by nations But what if we could choose differently now?
As If

The guilt of war belongs not only to those who gave the order, but to every voice that knew better — and chose silence.

To fly
A voice within—
no, a pull—
whispers: fly.
Letting go,
I lean
over the trembling edge of chaos.
The wind rises—
it takes me.
Not fear,
but the sharp joy of release.
And then—
I dive
into freedom.

#Emoetry | #Greed
greed arises from fear,
disastrous fearful actions -
sitting on a pile
of gold hoarding everything
only sorrow results
