With little regard to how we did him harm

Collections Reflections
It’s time to clock in and start up the vacuum.
This cash collector has walked into the room.
Dropping the balances like bombs from a B52.
Improving aged receivables and contacts too.
Repairing rifts with customers withholding payment.
Making sure...

The War Within
Thoughts coil around my mind,
Not chains—no, chains can be broken.
These are roots, tangled deep,
Threaded through marrow,
Anchored in places I cannot reach.
I pull. They tighten.

Every struggle feeds them,
Every breath is barbed wire in...

Fall of Afghanistan
Just like dominoes, Afghanistan falls;
It was only a matter of time.
American soldiers cash in their chips
And head home on a jet plane
After two decades in the trenches.
An unwinnable war is done,
So is any semblance...

The Reaper Reigns
Written By: D. Collins 3/7/25
For the non-believers he’s now here in the flesh.
Seriously masquerading as a U.S. President.
Civil destruction is what gives him a rise.
With a “Hail Hitler” minion standing by his side.

To a dripping ceiling in a monsoon rain
To a three sided coin, an unwinnable game

To a pen long exploded, in splashes, it wrote
To four open daisies,...

Descend
An infinite spiral downward... a bottomless cavern,
Thinking I'm pulling myself up and out....
When in reality I'm pulling more rope down off an endless spool,
I'm forever encased in this tomb,
A tomb, I myself have chosen...
The world...

When things start to fall.
That's when you'll see the true meaning of your own story.
Complications only make you feel more and more ashamed and sorry.
The only option you have is to keep standing tall.

Depressus
Every time I look in her eyes
I wonder who holds her when she cries
You would never guess what’s behind that mask
You wouldn’t have the respect to ask
She never lets it falter and fall
She keeps on...

The Wealthy Lie
To exploit our folks in a capitalist machine,
To encourage the rich and the poor.
To make the majority always bow down to the few,
To fight the unwinnable war.
We live in an antagonist...

My soul and spirit was far too busy caught within my life,
That created such anguish with unnecessary strife.

A Racist Shopping Trolley
I’m a racist shopping trolley,
I’m proud and happy and clean.
I don’t like hanging around with trolleys rescued from the river,
Beaten up all rusty, and mouldy, and green.
I’m proud I look after my wheels,
Never...
