For the sake of
keeping decorum
what was most wanted
most needed
was postponed once again
Over and over again
there's always a strident bunch
clearly
not understanding
what's at risk
And yet their presence
alters and thwarts
progress
Stagnant waters
we continue to consume

He had this delusion of grandeur that he could #save the world. Only he could do it. On he could fix it all. No one could stop him. He was The Chosen One! Except there was a glitch. He couldn't do it. He only wanted to prove to himself he was superior when he wasn't. He was a fraud.

"When was the last time something so #intriguing happened around here?"
"Never! This place is so boring most the time, you usually can't remember one day from the next."
"I wonder what will happen to him now."
"I just can't believe it."
"Oh, believe it, he did it all right!"

she would be
among the missing
after the last
political rally
she wasn't
on her pedestal
out on the harbor
nor anywhere
I could see
all we found of her
was a note
saying only
this was no longer
the land of liberty

April wandered into the Kaffe Fassett and Tula Pink section of the fabric store.
Her #intrigue over the colourful, creative and unusual designs caused a significant balance at the checkout.
After completing her purchase she saw an #intriguing new ruler. “Walk away” she whispered… 🤭💛

what's left
of a human being
when his heart
is attacked
by lies
and gossip
and his dreams
are shattered
by the blades
of self doubt
and the echoes
of lost love
all that is left
is a shadow
waiting to die
with the dawn

it would unnerve him
to be heckled
as he recited
his words
to see the audience
lose interest
in his words
in his heart
and would step off the stage
broken
but the words
the words would haunt him
until
once again
he took the stage
showing them
the courage
they had always
lacked

little did they know
how the charnel house
had been corrupted
no longer the safe house
for the bones of the innocent
and the lost
not when the full moon rose
and the night was filled
with the cries
of wolves
searching for their mates

I didn't care to be
her midnight snack
but
her eyes
damn her eyes
they would draw me in
as if I were a lost child
caress me
until I was lost in her glance
so lost
I never felt
her final
fatal
bite

"Musk's embrace of far-right politics and bigoted conspiracy theories appears to have damaged Tesla's brand. Today, just 31% of people in the United States would consider buying a Tesla, down from 70% in November 2021. "

Elon Musk's piggy bank - by Judd Legum
Tesla, as a publicly traded company, does not exist to serve the interests of Elon Musk, its CEO. Rather, it must act in the interests of all its shareholders. The electric car company ran into some trouble in this regard when it agreed to a massive compensation package for Musk in 2018. The deal re..

Firstly, I fell off my seat with all this #intrigue of words. Further, I am #intrigue solely because it seems as though your spout is more than 300 characters, Ha!
Lastly, what an #intriguing way to get writers to be #intriguingly witty. OK, enough of #intrigue yah?😁
Fantastic job, as usual.😊

I found myself
beneath the gray skies of winter
remembering
all my yesterdays
all dreams we had shared
I should have been sad
I should have been lonely
but the truth was
I still have you
in memeories
and even my last tear whispers
that's enough

he tells the story

I've know
the love that made me
whole
the love that now waits for me
on the day
I grow cold

I swim
among the ocean heartbeats
reminded
how small I am
in the scale of the things
and with each new tide I feel
my own heart is revealed
as if I was only a child
graced by Gaia's love
and not a foolish mortal
pretending to be
another demi-god
trying to rule the world

Boat on still water. Cheroots flare in pre-dawn dark. Neil’s Southern Man on the radio. Lit a fire to ward off the chill. Back in the boat, hooks & lines in the water. Crack open that thermos of hot coffee. Something to #savour . I can smell the hush puppies and #Blue Gill frying in the pan. #Dribble
