Every day
An overwhelming desire
Pushes me to
End it all right there
But every day
I’m dragged back
To the one reason I continue to live.
Devesh 4d
People are selfish,
even the mother who tend her son to take care of her

Greed is inevitable,
just like the old guy who steals money for family

Honestly is cuts like cruelty,
which made women reject hopeful man due to her lover

Betrayal is part of nature,
in which young bird is fling out of nest to fly carelessly

But,

We protect bonds,
even the son tends his mother, who sacrificed her life for him

We still let go of dignity,
just like the old guy who was beaten for feeding his family

We still seek truth,
which made grown boy find someone to accept his love

We still realize the importance of action,
in which young seagull catch fish with his flight

Thus we still hope for tomorrow in which we will live
Just started writing
Y21
Writing from the heart
Trying not to fall apart
Taking on many obstacles
Going against the odds
A moral code with a compass
Facing the right direction taking steps
After years of going the wrong way
Never lost hope stay strong and prayed
Taking a time out to compose
Be centered Taking a breathe
Being yanked in different directions
Your big expensive  "pop guns"  don't  stop
tanks,
jets,
or missiles in the sky,
Just your own ******  co-workers and neighbors
and a count down  to a  drunken self-inflicted goodbye.

Good bye and good riddance.
But the guns even after , don't disappear
the family keeps loving and keeping them
with obligation
it's clear.

Preachers of firepower sing their gospel so grand,
While stacking ammo like holy NRA cash  in their G.O.P. hand.
The enemy you fear? Isn't coming dear. Ghosts and shadowy  Fox news schemes.
The real threat is you?
Your own trigger and your twisted dreams.

You brainwashed your kids and in church .
hate and fear the art of digital war,
Marjorie Taylor-Greene outrage, memes, talking points galore.
But when it comes down to it, the battlefield’s near,
And the target is staring back in the mirror, my dear.
Does  it look like  you and  NOT a towel-head or queer ?

The right to stop a king with a single shot musket was their intent.
One ball at a time, not 30-round animal death and torment.

You shoot the deer, the fox, the birds that  flee in fright,
But humans? They would be the only creatures on Earth to walk TOWARDS  a gun fight..
Pray to your ancient carpenter or part time goat herder
there  is no such thing as  subsistence hunting
just animal   ****** .

Domestic rage,
drunken misfire,
kids too young to know,
You preached apocalypse
BUT the smoking barrel steals the show.

Oh, the NRA hymns and your freedom parade,
Big guns, bold threats, so carefully displayed.
nothing stops those  tanks, the  jets, or missiles filling  the sky,
Just your own  delusional ignorance
taught and teaching men don't cry.

So cheer for your rights, whoopty woo, hooray,
Build bunkers, hoard bullets, live in the fray.
The Second Amendment, a relic, a myth you pursue,
Mostly it  destroys …
The sorry MAGA  ******* that  IS  you.

So if you're thinking about taking that to some school yard or campus, do us all a favor and go back inside.
Everybody sees the truth that  you've so long denied.
This **** isn't capable of defending anyone's freedom. Not for more than 200 years. It's an object  of rage and fear turned against neighbors and fears.
Don't try to tell me that it's not weapons and guns that **** people. It's just another tool. I'm not blind or ignorant and I'm sure as hell not a fool .
You can't **** 30 people in under a minute with a rock. You do that with a 30 round clip and a  gun show bump stock.

Kristi Noem  down  in  the gravel pit gain
rounding up Mexicans and preaching bout sin
another innocent puppy in sight
be sure  to tell it again
about your abusive so called 2nd amendment right.

Sadly, they'll keep on doing this over and over again.
It's true,
as long as the NRA is allowed to sell this twisted
Second Amendment lie
to you.

I didn’t just love her
I chose her
In the quiet
In moments
no one else saw

I gave her steady hands
and a heart that never flinched
I loved her when it was easy
I loved her more when it wasn’t

I memorised her fears
softened my voice to hold them
I learned her silence
waited in the dark
without needing light

My love didn’t ask to be returned
It asked to be real
So I gave it
even when I was tired
even when it cracked me open
Dear mind
I know you’re not unkind
But sometimes
You have to unwind
And so you will find
Down comes the blind
As you shut your shutters
And your head mutters
Let me sleep
Let me rest
My weary head
I’m off to bed!
