My Dear Poet
You’re that feeling that burns
every time you’re filled, not spent
we go back to learn
It wasn’t what I meant

The strong promises and lines
that couldn’t be broken, you bent
among all the go around rhymes
It wasn’t what I meant

The absent truths and stains
of every little word stolen, you lent
only to borrow pain and play
It wasn’t what I meant

and when you finally understood
phrases couldn’t be ripped, but rent
now there’s that silent separation
It wasn’t what I meant.

Webster’s Word of the Day
cacophony
Harsh unharmonious down example
Dishes, crashing on the floor, horn blaring in the street, people yelling in protest
Even though this word was months ago, I wanted to continue to use some of these older words to strengthen my
lexicon
The Vocabulario of a person

News put on the shelf
Epstein didn’t **** himself
Deaf, blind New York times
We’ve come to a point where the media is another branch of the deep state. We’re not getting the entire truth of the news. In fact, a lot of things aren’t even being reported anymore. But in order to get really what’s going on, you have to go outside do United States. I look at BBC News and avenues, such as that world news a different perspective.
