Biography

Raging against the machine that is gradually eroding my being.

Samples

Cruel Harvest He picks, that's what he does. Picks his brain for rational thoughts. Rips them apart, twists the pieces, remoulds them. Magnifies them in burning light, interrogates them, tortures them and Then drowns them in the darkest recesses. He picks, that's who he is. Picks on perceived weaknesses. Rips into them, tearing down defences, exposing vulnerability. Holds them at fault, blames them, dismisses them and Then loses them in bleakest memory. He picks, that's why he is. Picks his moments for departure. Rips them asunder, erasing any return route. Retains only broken relationships, empty and desolate, Then discards them in ignorant condemnation. He picks, that's what he does.

… on “the rising” - Thanks Robert, 🌷there seems of late no room for any real optimism. Only flashbacks of an alternate 1917 universe. That’s not the type of historical era one would wish to repeat. 🙏🏻🕊 (rbk)
