don’t know how much longer I can stand the roar
the hideous news always at the door
more and more discrimination and discord
horrible
heartbreaking
lonely
disAbled people are people too
without our Veterans what would we do
how can our countrymen allow this to stand
someone needs to take them in hand
it’s time for those who believe as I do
to rise up and demand anew
maybe it’s time for a coup
cause I don’t know what else we can do
as I write my tears fall like rain
need something to ease this pain
to those who have loved ones to hold them tight
I say make sure you do them right
there are many who have no one with whom they can share
the fullness of their despair
because no one answers
no one is there
reaching out
empty
soul aches
heart breaks
how much more can a heart take
kill the snake
on this hideous chapter shut the door
don’t know how much longer I can stand the roar

March 25, 2025Hi, Robbie.
Thanks for reading.
I went out by the creek. That’s my refuge.
I feel a bit better now, but this whole situation in my country is the most hideous thing I’ve ever been through in my entire life.
