Frozen Promises June 23, 2026 ______________________________________________________________ Frozen promises, aped icicles hang, Glistening with deceit No alteration in sight, the same yore song, The disillusionment was a bitter defeat. The sun, once a beacon of warmth and light, Now hides behind a veil of darkened clouds, The warmth of hope was replaced by plight. Leaving us feeling lost in the shroud. In this realm of torment and fear we tread, Is a test of strength, where souls are led. It's a battlefield of our creation. Where we bear sequels of our damnation. Yes, it's true; this world is hell. But within its chaos, there are stories to tell. We were not born to wither and fade. But to rise above, unafraid. What else do you expect? What else do you expect? In a world filled with unrest? A call to action, a plea for change, To break free from this endless range. Assertively, we are the base of the construction. Of our living inferno, this destructive abduction. But it's not too late; we can turn the tide. With our grit, we can alter the course, with pride.

slow in the beginning but then you picked up the groove and it started to shine. the meanings were felt. and lately I'm desiring to say the inner angel takes over and gives us the words to make it great.
