The smoke billows,my heart trembles—when I see all the pain and suffering. I don’t want to hear it!Why is all this happeningon my watch? Because I can’t put it back, together again—all those broken pieces,of broken promises,from broken people. Yesterday … Continue reading Ukraine

The Truth Hurts

November 21, 2021December 4, 2022 ElRoyPoet

Anything I say, offends you. What ever happened to the old saying: “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”? Now it seems that words hurt even more—they hurt twice. Because if you become triggered—you … Continue reading The Truth Hurts

A part of me died—When my son’s time expired. And now that barren groundis sprouting: weeds of cynicism. Where there was once hope,peace flowers and laughter,Now there’s fear and remorse! I grieved when democracy died.They carried my freeman—away in a … Continue reading Afghanistan
