we 'hang in there'...until


Poem Artwork

 

 

Bitterness has settled in…yet 

you still smile and you do  

this because you were 

raised.... 

with respect

and manners   

And at one time in the past   

you were happy, so…body 

gestures ...of the sort 

you are still capable of  

producing but


....the feeling is gone

There are some noteworthy similarities here to JMS Bell. The spirit; the structure of words; the phrasing; remarkably similar. r

so true Asa, the soul knows it's authenticity. From our true selves we cannot hide, nor show duplicity, well done my dear xo

I sense this is the result of rising expectations not met as wealth flows to the very rich and scapegoats are chosen to blame for the cause.

These Black and Blue Red Zone Days by Aberjhani

Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
