I think I'd like to build a following for my poetry here if I can, then publish a book of poetry. It's kinda been a dream of mine for, IDK 20 years. If you like my stuff and want to support that dream, give me some likes and a follow.

To hope for the best in free fall is foolish
As pride precedes a fall
To lust for the blood of another is ghoulish
But war makes beasts of us all

It seems a sin to bend the facts
But is perdition worth it?
When truth's a burden to break your back
But a lie's as light as the breath that birthed it

At any given moment I feel
A thousand screaming birds
Crashing into me
A Smiling Corpse
Strung up on wires
Too afraid to face
Their greedy beaks
I pull the strings
From shadows so dark
I can't see my own face
A thousand screaming birds
Crashing into me
A Smiling Corpse
Strung up on wires
Too afraid to face
Their greedy beaks
I pull the strings
From shadows so dark

Another interesting occurrence of @hankgreen.bsky.social 's line on the map?
Could be "places it's easiest to commit fraud and collect your dead grandpa's pension checks". 🤷

Civility should be met with civility. The first to break the social contract invites retaliation in kind. If a party is allowed to continuously break said contract with impunity, such violations will continue in perpetuity.

Sacrifice soul as the capital asks of me
Profanely sacred sacral blasphemy
Cast a grin as my muscles atrophy
Original sin of the hustle's after me

I don’t condone murder, but I damn well hope the billionaire class realizes after the killing of the UHC CEO that their fear & outrage mean nothing to a world crushed by their greed & cruelty. After all the devastation they’ve unleashed on countless lives, why should anyone care about their pain?

Crazy that the assassin got caught. It's almost like all the folks "on his side" shared his face like a meme or something. 🤷

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

The fragility of life
Shows us just how small
Our days are within deep time
Without promised tomorrow

sucks how video games perpetuate unrealistic expectations, for instance my dog will never bring me valuables from the enemy whose throat he just throttled while I stood back and watched

I was born on pins and needles
And though my best friends
May be corpse beetles
I'm a necromanced eggshell dancer
My feet bleed still

When I first went to the gym to workout, I was fueled by pre-workout.
Now that I workout at home, I'm fueled by pure anger against the establishment with a sprinkle knowing I'm gonna have to punch a Nazi within my lifetime and I really want that punch to matter.

In my bones I feel lightning
Like folded steel
On the field everything's more real
Life and death mean more and less
Coalescing with the white hot static in the air
When I'm there
There is nowhere else
