To Die yet to Live Again

They held me down and injected me with a needle that took away my ability to sleep It is true I haven’t slept in six years I imagine this persisted consciousness will remain with me after my body dies Then there was yet another needle that transferred the landscape of hellfire Will I toast for all eternity is this the secret of the Illuminati I can only point to others that suffered the same fate Aaron Hernandez But who can help me now is this a puzzle to be solved When I’m gone all that will remain is this cryptic poem Yet I imagine no one will care or even understand the evils that men do

Hello Robert, Wow, your words really struck a chord with me. The raw emotion and depth in your words are incredible. It’s haunting yet powerful, almost like you’re channeling something we all fear but rarely express. I can feel the weight of those sleepless years and the desperation for understanding. Congratulations on POTD. Spring Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Dear Robert, soft music helps when you're having trouble sleeping. You need to be in a dark, slightly cool room, with a soothing melody playing in the background. Many wonderful blessings to you, my sweet friend. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. Hugs, Brandy

Congratulations on your wonderful yet sad POTD. I will put you on my Soup prayer list. Look up the chapters of JOB in the bible. Remember, the devil wants us to lose faith. Over the years, I have asked why? Sometimes I get the answer, sometimes I do Not. God has always been with me even when I walked through hell. God is with you so turn and talk with Him. God please help your dear Robert to be healed. Everything had a reason. Blessings.......

In a powerful way, you have expressed some complex emotions. It’s raw and deeply personal. You’re not alone in navigating these thoughts. Congrats on your POTD, and stay strong. Best wishes, my friend...

I've been exploring the rise and fall of the former NFL star, and the factors in his life that shaped his behavior including CTE. There was a time when everyone from the BBC to Beyoncé were accused of being illuminati, and even my favorite band Jane's Addiction's Dave Navarro claims IIIrd degree Mason, I don't dabble the opposite l used their beautiful music as therapy at a time, as you do dear poet with G.H.'s. Huge Congratulations on your well-deserved POTD Robert James Liquori! Best of luck ~

Big congrats for your win, Robert. It's a well deserved POTD. I can't imagine not being able to sleep. I thought that the body was incapable of living without at least a tiny bit of sleep. Maybe you doze off a bit and don't notice? I live with something so rare and horrible like you do, there are not even words for it. So sorry for what you are going through.

A person dies without sleep after 11 days… so how I’ve gone six years is a mystery. I actually think my psyche is slip where I’m awake and sleeping at the same time. How else could I still be alive? … just saying. Thanks for your support and the nice comments.

the liver. Based on great results Exercise and sweating as in a Sauna is much recommended by these Drs on the breakthrough of healing those affected by the jab. Also please look into Smart Meters near you they are causing also sleep problems along with cell phones and WiFi towers. I hoped this helped. Don't loose hope hang in there and my prayers are with you to be healed. I hope this information helps you. If you have questions please Soup mail me. Thank you..

Dear Robert I can appreciate your heartfelt words. So much I want to share with you. I am a research Nerd and for many years have researched those you speak of. There are three Drs that are helping people like the condition you mentioned. If you go on Rumble Dr Ricardo Delgado on his detoxification methods from the vax and all his research through the Columna Qunita University in Spain, Also Dr Brian Ardis on Brighteon.com and a great book Healing The Gerson Way. Dr Max Gerson on detoxifying

Did this problem occur after you got the jab, Robert? So many strange things are happening to people. Maybe this stuff Michael is telling you might help.

Suffering is a tool the Devil uses to discourage and destroy. However, the power of God is greater if we give ourselves over to him. Enjoy your special day Robert

My daughter is a strong believer in God. I try to follow her ways. It’s difficult some time when I’ve been through so much… sometimes one can lose faith… but I try to believe! Thanks for your comment.

A thought-provoking verse, Robert! We care for you, and probably writing and sharing are the best ways to heal.Congratulations on your POTD honour.

Dear Robert, Until you wrote this poem, I was ignorant to the condition you referred to and it's immense suffering. Congratulations on the honor of POTD and I hope that some one out there in the medical field can help you with your care and not exasperate it. Blessings to you !

Strange as it may sound, very few have the ability to remain self-aware through waking, dreaming and deep sleep states. An intriguing write, Robert, enjoyed. Warmest congratulations on POTD

Dear Robert, I agree with Ink and Sara - your poem has such emotional impact with excellent word choices to convey how you are feeling. You are an intrinsic element of poetry soup for many. Your ability to convey the healing power of music through your contests and own poetry is an uplifting source of joy and strength that you share so openly. Congratulations on your POTD. What else can I say other than "we all love Glenn Hughes!" :)

I really enjoyed this write Robert. The heavyness, the pain in it, I can feel every word. This is one of my absolute favourites of yours. "I imagine this persisted consciousness will remain with me after my body dies," this line packs a existential punch. Amazing.
