too many #farewells meandering throughout our universe, buoyant stars losing their light, flickering comets giving up battles, as earth's starving souls disintegrating in plain sight, let's replace misplaced tears w/moon dust, instilling those hearts w/glee #vss365

Influenced By people Who don’t want us To be free They’re building dams To hold back Good folks Like you & me Bandying Non sequiturs That keep us From the sea They trumpet About #freedom But tell us Who to be Who they think They’re fooling With their daft Soliloquy? #vss365

There’re #stories Deep inside me One’s I fear to find And claim Like stories Of my ancestors Enslaved and worked And hanged Their pain Has stained my DNA It’s code a song Of shame But that shame’s Not mine to bear— It’s for those Who stole my name #vss365

derickijohnson's tweet image. I grasp
Your faded photo
Your eyes
Are dead & cold

Evil left
Its imprint—
A #tattoo
On your soul

Auschwitz
Forgotten
In fog of bygone war

Time to pay
The Piper
When I spot you
In a bar…

Since I have
No gas chamber
I’ve rigged
Your fancy car

Every night between 1am and 2am, my demons just wander around loose. I am sleepy and then, boom, suddenly I have my friends guilt, regret, anxiety, doubt, sorrow, loss sitting down for a chat. Every bloody night. #writerscommunity #auswrites #demons
