Yes, I have studied the same.

There was an extreme amount of preoccupation with animals and pets and sexual abuse and activity

Spiritual collapse always preceded an empire’s collapse

And this what we are witnessing the country is lost the people are bewildered and despairing.

The rich elites are depraved and decadent in the strongest sense.

Well done! Reminiscent of Saint Allen (Ginsberg) in the Old Days.

Great poem. Thank you, Caitlin!

Writing and reading heartfelt, mindful poetry like this helps push back against the horror of it all.

The only other way I know is to eat lots of chocolate, but that makes you fat. 😉

"like robots running a program written by a long-dead man

Great lines. The robots need batteries. They'll wind down and go dark soon enough. Everything seems to run on batteries nowadays. Lithium is the new Heroin.

Headless Hounds give me nightmares... No heads, no minds, no souls. Heartless.
