Mission Statement

"Go into yourself. Search for the reason that bids you write; find out whether it is spreading out its roots in the deepest places of your heart, acknowledge to yourself whether you would have to die if it were denied you to write."

Relentless Speakers


He said, She said
The chattering is relentless.
Waiting for a single slip,
The hounds pounce on any weakness.
Beliefs are never your own,
All is forfeit to the higher.
Speaking against the grain
Leaves you alone and feeling none the better.

Stuck in the nonsense,
Words spill out, unintentional.
Hurting another’s feelings
As all part of the game, un-relational.
The vortex of words
Drags you in with inhuman force.
You stay to fit in
Giving in to the rant, with no remorse.

Your back is turned
And now you’re the victim of such hate.
Where to turn now
When you did the same to your friends of late?
Same old reason for all you said,
They were just words and none were meant.
But didn’t you join in
And add to the multitude of the rant?

Feeling powerless is no excuse.
Keeping the pattern strengthens the guilt.
Step away from it all,
See the pain and frustration built.
Is it worth it to
Break down innocence for ones own gain?
In the end
The drama isn’t worth the pain
