a shell, a rock, valueless token of exchange Cain's creation, perhaps, impelled by hunger and his mark today a non attributable lie a picture of true faith - but the sword still stands - speaks more truth than any word can deeper its insidious roots grow for the greater its seeming efficacy displacing the currency of love for my enemies love me as themselves but the lie is true gnawing from the inside out from nations, to businesses, to people, a soulless heartless ********** remains by the sword you live, by the sword you die

your poem throws me right into a nostalgia for it. The title of the poem alone captivates the reader and by the time one reaches the end of your beautiful verse, one feels the prairie in one's pocket. Simple down-to-earth images of "turkey", "rusty plumes" and "that other earth" in the poet's mind are not only powerful, but add a sense of humor, including that of carrying the earth in your pocket, which is part of your mindset. In fact, the poem does not only seed the earth inside the poet's mind, but, indeed, in the minds of his readership. Which is what a great poem does. The poet's exceptional craftsman is attributable to the subtlety, simplicity and imagery which make the verse flow and speak for itself : today I exist through a heros twist paid fully to resist inside of me grips the portion of sullen apathy... Cuba is getting a bit colder after Castro took over the in tuned harmony to its hidden beast reality shelter through the leaves taking over as you please each haunted day we beg to borrow the need to pray... fashionable Michelle Obama silent through a fixture plain from deep enough to take over inside conjunction junction what's your function bargain basement blues the set of Huey Lewis & The News, a bunch of sprinkled dust scattered through the wind late night bid in cell block 9 in prison, those were the days getting caught in a purple haze spot a high five to humbly keep your faith alive, shadows break way from the frenzy within

Glossy-eyed children taste toxin-doctored water from plastic red cups as popular hits of the day intertwine with impure intentions and blind approbation for strangers- obscured within the cherry-colored lenses of Dionysius’s shroud. - A languid form stumbles though an ocean of slurred words and victorious howls Into a water room with four walls, a broken door, and a single reflective glass, sounds of the century now low and intertwined with the domestic petting zoo steadily beating against the door Still broken. Tired eyes through orbital vision and a weary process of cognitive recognition Finds within the glass a conception of self, foreign to the observer and comically out of place. Segmented ideas find meaning in convoluted streams of thought as the spoken word Is devalued and meaning is limited to fain attempts to *** a smoke, bro. Radiating self-righteous belligerence and misattributed Bravado- the two-dimensional protagonist clumsily plunders the kitchen for processed sugar bars and handfuls of stale Wonderbread before projecting discarded toxins into the potted plant near the high-traffic doorway while snapback youth formulate attributable hashtags and millennial responses to a situation typical to the time of uncertainty and blissful absence. Come morning, we’ll eat scrambled eggs in sunlight And romanticize about a Kodak experience, now elapsed by a self- more stringent.

I'm sure the phenomenon is Far wider-spread than At any other time throughout history. The want to have been born, Decades or years before, And I think it's easily attributable. Inundated with knowledge It is hard to come to some consensus Among peers, Likewise it is difficult To be in a situation you'd rather not Able not only to conceive But receive, every scenario you could think of. Many of which would be the least bit better than the reality currently ascribed
