~*~
They had been tolerating the mistreatment for ages
The day finally came when it couldn’t go on anymore
The life was disrupted with silentscreams
Or were they cries for helpfromthose we took
For granted
Always ignoring
And never grateful
It was a moment to pause and reflect

The one who will make you feel better ❤
On My Own
until the calm
of your hand in mine
words stir inside
some bleed to the page
others bounce upon my brain
filling space in syllables
bridging time in moments
Daily Prompts- How we did it!
When each day looks identical to the other
We feel overwhelmed and frazzled, at our wit‘s end
Just reach deep inside your soul and draw on your fortitude
Time ticks on never pauses never stops
This time too shall pass and the worst will be over
Years later it will a tale to tell our young generation
How with courage and forbearance we handled
The crisis of 2020, and came out the other end
Alive, stronger and more aware of our responsibilities

The 2020 Daily Writing Challenge – May 3
Writing is like driving at night in the fog.
You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
– E. L. Doctorow
Today is Day 124 of the 2020 Daily Writing Challenge.
Did you write yesterday? We get knocked down sometimes. Current events have done an excellent job of destroying normal. There is a silver lining. These times have granted us an opportunity to reexamine life, priorities, and what happiness really means. I am determined, and I refuse to stay stuck in a mess.

off the beaten path,
seeking the dark corners,
often, a stark contrast
to the bright colors
that surround them in real life.

Goons – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon
Photo: thesun.co.uk Some of the protesters in Michigan last week, these militia members claimed to be present and armed to keep the peace. Beggars belief. Freud said something about this behaviour.
“I don’t believe gun owners have rights.” Sarah Brady
Goons
A man with a gun is
not necessarily a man
when he hides behind
coercive death,
dressed in god drag,
dangled with shibboleths,
like talismans,
voicing sulfur,
selling slogans of
repressed doubt,
choking on rancid,
illiterate apocalyptic,
Caterwauling goons
with no resemblance to
a crown of thorns.
