The corrupt seek to subjugate, mistreating and misusing what has been given for all of us to share collaboratively.

Review
The only way out is up.
The only way up is through.
Threats of Homelessness
Seeing them on the street, browbeaten women hunkered within awning nooks along downtown sidewalks, it frightens me to keep experiencing effects from the shove that insurance coverage severing my wage loss benefits has pressed upon me, when I have still been unable to work for income.
(Good Day – Forrest Frank)
Trust
Innocence tends to easily trend, whereas the jaded must have proven why to re-extend.
Walk That Talk!
To Be Loved
By the powers invested and
Granted to every one of us
Daring enough to challenge
Coursing tides of oblivion,
May we each find our soul’s
Match to restore kingdoms.
(Just A Mirage – INZO)
From The Brink
Ups, downs – then turn arounds…
Lovely Ladies
I have been graced with opportunity to again tutor women teachers-in-training.
(I Am A Wave – Death Valley Girls)
Miss-Direction
Perhaps I got it wrong that I could help.
(Empty House – Delta Spirit)
Re-Integration
What’s the point to try when one can thrive better by contributing on their own terms?
(Trust In You – Lauren Daigle)
Steady As We Go
What others project upon us does not change the truth of our merit.
(Coldabank – Things U Said)
PushBack
I can no longer take hits – and stay silent.
Abdication
I took the blow, could not absorb it – so left the situation.
Vulnerability
It sucks to get one’s heart stepped on.
Crushed
Humiliation for being seen as dependent amd interrupting – when I wasn’t.
Insult To Injury
Being misread by assumption is painful.
Don’t Step On A Cat’s Tail
“I need to state that your using the term ‘pride’ in this situation is completely inappropriate when addressing the real concern of potential permanent disability – and would suggest your being more neutral, if not more compassionate, to future clients in this regard.”
(Grave Robber – Crowder)
“I Can Work With This…”
Raised rent – but no pending eviction.
Rooks And Knights
Where in the realm are the true, dashing gents as the rest of us get pushed into gutters?
“A Lot Can Change…”
I’ve seen plenty of the detrimental kind.
(Live Like You Were Dying – Tim McGraw)
It’s Official
Lamdlord is raising rent as high as he can.
“Respect”
Bowing to those who cannot “see” amounts to propagation of blindness.
(Goodbye – Imanbek & Goodboys)
Pair-Bonding
There are so many reasons for relationships to not work – but only one reason for validity that should ultimately matter.
What Is This Feeling?
A burbling undercurrent building to erupt into hysterical sobbing or outrageous laughter.
“Shhhhh,” I remember my once-beloved’s mother cautioning me, for in that culture, women are not permittted valid candor.
Altruism
When I advocated for the community back in 2004 and related, there was nothing in it for me – I could not gain nor retain housing.
Choosing Sides
I dislike being forced to take up a cause.
No Accounting
There is currently no accountability for the insidiuos war being waged upon our communities where hard-working families are discounted as housing priority.
Displacement
If it happens, this will be our 6th since 2011.
Who is gaining all of the benefits from loss?
Inequity
Those that have more than one house do not seem to stand up for those who do not have even one.
Instead, they eat the cream from others’ labor right off the top – leaving what little remains in a state of rot.
(Relate – For King & Country)
“Production For Use”
No matter what our desperations, we must overcome our baser reactions as humanity.
We must use our production wisely.
(Title phrase from movie His Girl Friday with Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, and Ralph Bellamy.)
Negative Reinforcement
At some point, traumatic response becomes the mainstay when circumstances keep conspiring.
(One Beautiful Evening – Laurie Anderson)
(The Cloud Room – Pan American)
Celebrated
Happening across a like-minded cohort.
Hidden From View
The pain of fresh betrayal.
(Everybody’s Talkin’ – Harry Nillson)
Many Tribes
It is hard to find where one belongs when descended from many.
SideWinders
We are told that we can only express ourselves within limitations (if at all allowed), and that we must choose only certain facets of self to present to others.
No wonder it is rare to find someone who is consciously “here” – for we are too often discounting our own wholistic relevances!
Positive Reinforcement
There are advocates and kind people.
Lost In Milieu
Sensory intake overstim whirls in conjuction with fighting compulsion of giving in to whatever messaging’s whim.
