#WriteFree365 – Day 2 Frustration

Image
I looked out the window today and wasn't surprised by what greeted me A view of destruction covered by a dusting of hope like Febreze over a well used gym Here we see the constant battle between being right and doing right Those with power choosing carefully which way the pendulum swings Some are wooed by the promise of a better tomorrow Some cling to delusions of the past Some stand firm on "the tradition" The rest of us know the truth The constant nagging of the voice of reason Sucking you in and spitting you out That voice in your head will never stop telling you what right Your choice if you chose to believe it Take off the glasses and see whats out the window Open you mind and truly understand whats going on See them wag the dog See them misdirect See them shame you into forgetting your grievance And fight back...

Let's Begin

A Writer friend of mine did an amazing thing this year  #WriteFree365 . He wrote a poem every day of the year (he's on 335.. check out his Blog here  writtenvoyeurism.com ) In this my 31st year I plan to copy him. I was going to start on the 22nd of Nov (my birthday) but I was otherwise engaged. I will start Dec 1st.... wish me luck and blessings. I think it will be a great experience. Objective: Listen to a song (or songs), free write a poem, title the poem, post it. DAILY
