Premium Member If Not One Way, Then Another
Thanks for another day Others curse their luck, stale breath Eventually our enemy becomes our brother Cancer checkup, another swinging dick who fears his death To not necessarily sacrifice each and every day for another day I’m going to go to my grave unsung like almost everyone Numerous number systems beyond the real Look one way, from another come the heart’s...

Premium Member O My Brother I feel your Pain
O my brother, I can see your pain. Unlike the ignorant, I hear your screams, yet you refuse to explain, why you're lost in forgotten fast flowing streams, wandering like a forgoing wave, thinking there's blessings in an early grave. When you can't understand the darkness, feeling as you do not belong, remember in our own unique weirdness, you don't have to pretend to...

Premium Member Return and be still
Easier now to get through the day you know, when it's quiet and.. you hear a voice in dream.. a bright star in the morning. The way we were taught to share in life's embarrassing bond- waiting so long to finally know what it meant to grow up. Wish I never asked, and that you never scolded me. Told...

Premium Member A Journey Into Transformation
War shapes the warriors it touches, leaving behind vestiges that linger in their lives long after the battlefield fades from view. In Recon Marines: Searching for the Real Enemy, we are thrust into the unrelenting grip of Vietnam's jungle, a landscape both indifferent and eternal. Yet the war waged in the depths of memory proves...

Time Comes For All Things
What is the nature of the affection you claim to possess for me when your expressions of love are accompanied by detachment, distance, and uncomfortable silences? I find myself engaging in internal monologues in an attempt to alleviate the emotional challenges that we vowed would never arise between us, akin to the familial dynamics we...

A Brother
I think I hear whispers floating through my mind, It's the voice of someone I held dear- I remember the days when games were the only stress there. Opposite balconies facing each other, Extending hands to see if we could hold together , We bonded over shared toys, origami papers and roaring laughter. We played during every holiday as we grew, Sometimes...

Damnation
Farther and farther you go I hope you dig yourself a grave Buried and no way out Without a coffin so I can watch you choke On your sins you have made, I hope karma comes and spits on your name We were once family now I tear the title from the frames Deeper and deeper you dig You think you can get...

Premium Member Adam and Eve and the raising of Cain
Have you ever thought about the raising of Cain? Where did that boy get a rage so completely insane that he ended up murdering his younger brother? Did he learn it from his father and mother, who must've been in such deep, psychological pain for having caused Eden to go down the drain. ...

Boomerang
As we consider others With more than a few objections Can we unveil Our own masked reflections? As we review our brother With an exaggerated disdain Can we become cognizant Of the true source of our pain? As we inspect our neighbor With ever ascending exasperation Can we give pause and question The root of our vexation? As we give the mirror Just one more searching glance In order...

all you ever needed was to be felt seen. you hid yourself from this nasty world, you moulded a side of you that hid your secrets perfectly. my best friend don’t be afraid, you carried me into this world when i was made, our roles changes and i layed you down to leave this land. you have been blessed with the...

Premium Member A Sonnet by This Arrant Bard, an Other
A sonnet by this arrant bard, an other, whose sole half-brother, a real piece of work, and single parent (mother like no other!), together were no warm nor loving perk. In her heart, mother disowned me in life. My younger half-brother begrudged my...

Premium Member Imperfections
Mark 9:41 “For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.” I’ve never housed a homeless person I’ve never been that brave – But, oh how I’ve longed to show others the grace, the love, the One who...

Premium Member 2034-The Fall of Big Brother
Humanity suffers, totalitarianism reigns, Vanity crushes our personal gains, Mankind is weeping and working as slaves, Those who refuse are remembered in graves. This is the fate of the people who cry, How do they rate if they do or they die? How do you choose what to do with your life? Most people can't who succumb to the strife. What does it...

Her image in her eyes: Request for True Identity
Her image in her eyes: Request for True Identity. She couldn't write about her mother- Her young womb a cradle for a different form, Was her brothers' Memorial wall. When she was born, no rebirth occurred. No resurrection for the newly buried. They were the Heroes. The Glorified Dead- The sacrifice of one man's bitter inner war. She was the shadow living in the shadow their gravestone cast on living grass... In...
