Butterfly Effects

Last night a powerful force
was juggled between ocean-going butterflies.
A little ripple in Bermuda
blew its lid in Indonesia.
People died and survived to be recalled
by the living in the morning.

Dreaming hands built beer-caves
for their foamy drools,
fingers raised hedge funds.
Ripples sex-blitzed
elderly spinsters with an erotica,
that made their eyelids flutter.

Personally speaking,
somewhere before dawn
I became a Russian novel,
there was snow,

Possible Side Effects

The doc prescribed a medicine
To make my bones grow strong.
It seems they’ve lost some density
As life has rolled along.

I’ve had the pills for quite a while
But haven’t taken one,
For I’m afraid soon after, 
Side effects will have begun.

I read what all the experts say
From clinics quite well-known – 
The Mayo and the Cleveland, 
Which report

Premium MemberThe Edged Effects Of Evil: Part 3

He viewed his name as an awkward constitution for commoners to address so plainly and nonchalantly. Adolf held a preconceived opinion that a simplistic reversal of his name would suffice. To avoid an embarrassing brouhaha, the name Adolf presented a less than formal relationship, which he viewed as unbecoming for an absolute future leader of

Contributing factors, however, are deemed as an assortment embracing negativity and were reinforcements for the young idealist. Granted to resonate by the dark lord was his underlying purpose.

Side Effects

My hands used to be able to hold dishes, gently.
But now, the dishes wink at me and shatter.
Tremors are starting.
I knew it.
I’m not scared or angry.
I grab a pen.
Writing before it overtakes me.
Roaring sounds.
Whirling sounds.
It’s all within.
So I write about that.
The floor tugs and pulls.
I’m on the second floor.
I can’t let it happen, yet.
I write

effects of mental disorders

facing disorders at an early age is "your" fault
this isn't what i learned, what i was taught
thinking of the memories my disorder has brought
"this is normal", that's what we thought
i talk to someone, they label me as crazy
i'm just begging for someone to save me
now they only see what i want them to see
the color

Immersed in His Paschal Mystery
our Original Sin is --history!

Divine Power comes forth from His Heart
Giving sanctification a start

Now alive in Christ, but dead to sin
'cause death no longer has dominion!

With Biden and Xi hand in hand
Fentanyl precursors are banned
What’s the surprise
As costs of a high rise?
The incentive for crime will expand!

Author’s note: I expect many more of us will be burglarized, robbed, and assaulted. What’s the harm in focusing on treating addiction?

Premium MemberEffects of Words

Written: October 05, 2023 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Words are just darts thrown toward meaning.
In a linguistic dance, they find their gleaming
With every utterance, their aim takes flight.
Seeking understanding, conquering the night

But with atrocity on their hands, they agreed,
Words have the power to induce hearts to bleed.
Each syllable is a weapon, sharp and true.
Words can build bridges or tear them

The Effects of Media On a Traumatised Brain

I had the strangest of dreams 
They happend in the land overseas 
Usually called the land of the free
Even though I have never been 
There were familiar people and daddy issues
My father tried to pick some prostitutes 
Then puked on my bed 
In real life he is a strong christian 
Familiar sins , disorders, secrets
