Welcome my blog. The intention is to publish every piece of writing that I have churned out for the past 10 years. Some pieces have a story behind the story, some lyrical poems have become songs. We have hundreds of poems, stories, songs, lyrics, and life musings. Subscribe and every Monday receive a story to start off your week. Art is created by Amina & AI.
There was nothing holding him to the promises he had made.
Promises where tools with which to dupe the dimwitted , gull the gullible
and corral and extinguish rebellion.
Thereafter, he knew a diet of warm manure would serve as
laxative for those constipated with memories of promises once made..
While he had enough evidence to clear his name , he had
not the least intention of abandoning his dark intentions.

In times like this
with the extolling of the
vulgar and imbecilic
when dull headedness
and crippling pedagogy
become du rigueur
you will find him hold
up in his heart, windows drawn,
doors locked, lights dimmed,
embracing a threadbare solitude
A lover that is all together too familiar.

Thankfully, “ Having eyes in the back of one’s head” is purely a figure of speech.
Phonetically speaking it would be an absolute nightmare,
in that it would be near impossible to talk behind peoples back.
The ensuing social backlash would savage relationships as we know them.
It would mean Jenny would no longer be able to talk behind her mother in laws back
and bitchy high school sophomore girls would be verbally straight jacketed
There would be catastrophic deterioration in mental health in the wake of this
epidemic of uncensored truth.
