Brainstorming Backlash

The definition of love should not mean obligation
it confuse those who need clearity
Love or a passion or desire
is a confused definition.
People meet and fall in love
People learn a hobby and love doing it
People and pets love being with each other
some people refuse to love due to there limited ability
people like to exploit situations
people like use

An anti-dictator demo
Prompts a mad autocrat's memo
What’s the final word?
Flipping me the bird...
And lying with El Supremo

Backlash

The publisher of Roald Dahl’s books
Thought changes should be made
To make the books “inclusive,”
But attention has been paid

With many writers speaking out
To criticize the plan
(Despite the fact that Dahl’s ideas
Made many not a fan).

An example that I read of
Would remove the use of “fat”
If a character was overweight – 
Now what’s the use of that?

What

I'm on point of psychosis. 
I'm haunted by silken dusk.
howls echo to wry Croesus.
reflects my deep-seated whimsy brusque.

Premium MemberBacklash We Start To Fear

The earth is warming year on year. 
Our reckless ways must take the blame. 
Catastrophe is getting near. 

Now backlash we begin to fear, 
But still we won't admit our shame. 
The earth is warming year on year. 

The carbon problem is quite clear
Yet we go on with risky game. 
Catastrophe is getting near.

Covid-19 Backlash Begins

Throughout America, oh, dear,
Which let their Mr. Trump lead them
To believe it was all ok.
Now, America must say what
We all will experience
As Covid-19 does its thing
And backlashes us all insane.
It will be wild, us fighting it,
Without a vaccine to help us
Listen no more to anyone
Who’d lead us like sheep to slaughter.

Backlash of Coronavirus

I never thought I would write about a virus,
A pandemic turning the world into a circus.
They say great events cast their shadows before,
I tend to agree as coronavirus assumed the fore.
Not by accident, as most world leaders declared,
But by design to set the stage for what was made.
And give the world a different shape; another

One quick lethal blow
One tormenting flash
A taste of the pain
Should we ever part
Harsh poison chalice
Steer far from my lips

Backlash

Reminding you of a girl you once knew,
You thought you loved but she broke you in two,
Her makeup was different, but the baggage she left you was the same,
In your brokenness you compared because it was all about gain,
Healing was in progress but the process wasn't finished,
You ran ahead to the next woman in hopes

Backlash

The devil is i, and i the devil. A reflection of his ashes made flesh, intentions once 
good, a captive, now deformed, becoming the syndrome that is Stockholm. Yet, i 
still part of the "norm", with an appetite for destruction like a Gun and Rose song, 
can't seem to find the "norm" in my everyday
