Is there anything a more treacherous and foreboding threat than the sight of drones in the sky that are essentially robots controlled by someone who is deciding the fate of those that get caught in its sights?

I love life and hate it all at the same time. Do I hate it more than I love it. There is no denying that.

I guess that’s just the way it is.  Has it always just been the way I feel but I hid it from myself?

We work, they tell us it is good for us, and if we are lucky it is, or it at least feels like it is. But normally we are just feeding the rich man’s mongrels.

We get told you need to be more productive. And mindful at the same time. It is easy to be

It comes as a shock, life.

When you eventually start living it that is.

Before then it is just a fucking annoyance.

Or for some a fucking blessing, lucky bastards.

But eventually, you will realise you have not been living all along.

And hope it isn’t

Trouble crafts itself around my organs

Clawing on to my heart for dear life

Grafting at the edges.

I should have been gone by now

Or so the thought says

But another denies it. Calls it out for what it is.

When is it over.

Broken.

The vibration touches inside me. As it penetrates my eardrums.

Taking me to places I had thought I had never been.

Until I realised, I had.

Same places.

We’re stuck in this together.

You lick my finger.

It takes my mind off.

Regret is a motherfucker. Eating you up inside. Devouring you in a parasitic frenzy. Ignited by circumstance. Joy turns. Bad gets worse. They say they are not worth having, and their right. Whoever they are. But they never say how you stop. Not for f

You insult me in my own home one last time, and you will see what happens

We suffocate everything we love, but it’s not love is it?
