Don't you see love in my eyes Like I see nothing in yours? You have proven once again I know not what is in store

Friday December 6th 2024 it's already been a horribly bad day for me and it's only noon. It's been several weeks and that the muscle spasms all over haven't really slowed down like they do I usually get a break or a period that they subside but not lately and it was really bad today I could barely move at all, it's a cold day with a slight wind and the chance of a storm and I'm feeling worse than usual. My neighbor came to help me for a few minutes to fill 12 water bottles outside for 12 gallons hopefully that will last me the week, it's been 2 years since I haven't had any running water from the Super Freeze that we had that busted the pipe. Normally it would be something that I could get done somehow on my own but I just don't the money or have the energy or the physical ability anymore to do much. Being destitute is a horrible situation, I'd like to rinse off just in case it gets very cold but even that is very difficult more than usual since I have to pour water into a small bowl out of the gallon container heated up and then pour it over me to rinse off and if I lift my arms it triggers spasms just like any other movement right now so I'm just laying down for the rest of the day that's pretty much all I can do. It's Times Like These that I really am sad that I don't have money for a doctor or medication, and I know there are millions out there in the same situation. But they do have help a lot of them hopefully family Maybe Neighbors, that's just something I don't have anymore. I know these posts are Doom and Gloom and I'm sorry for that but that is the reality for many. It's good to know about other people perhaps it will make others appreciate their lives much more especially if they're doing better than most. It's still shocking to hear the stories about how all these illegal criminals running around are getting full benefits of everything that this country has to offer when they're actually citizens here that are suffering. It is a shame all the way around. I hope you have a good day and a better weekend Wherever You Are I think that's all I have the energy to say for now. Take care and be careful as many of us know the world can be a dangerous place. And once again if anybody out there can help me you can donate through PayPal using my email. williamdecade1@yahoo.com be safe out there......

Hereditary

How does it feel to be fully destitute, to

know that no matter how hard you work,

you will never own land, or buy a house,

never pass it on to your children, ever

I look at the eyes of the peasant in the

painting as he toils in the dirt, behind him

a shadowy hill upon which rests the castle,

and I’ve seen that look in the homeless

In the eyes of the girl at the drive through

who works two jobs and still can’t afford

to buy a car to go to work so she can buy

just enough food to keep from starving

As I complain about how I didn’t get my

my French fries, then pull away while she

closes the window to my exhaust, thinking

about her grandmother who can’t breathe.

it’s hard to love when you’re tired, it’s hard to love when you’re afraid you’ll lose everything

We’re passing a Staples store and a Courtyard Marriott and then a Target, corporate franchises that remind me of some larger narrative of this life that I’ll never be able to control, that this country of ours is a cold commercial machine, one that asks us to feed it and feed it, and whatever time we have left for our families we better use well, but it’s hard to love when you’re tired, it’s hard to love when you’re afraid you’ll lose everything.

I am floating between the stars

Orbiting the sun of the American dream

I can barely feel its heat

I am a dwarf planet in the vastness of the USA

Our "United" Societal Atmosphere

Too weak to clear my path of the systemic orbital obstacles blocking my way

I am as between the space

of being considered a worthy planet — a worthy human

But not quite, as Pluto

I am a voice from the margins

Four minority groups in a tattered American trench coat

My pockets are empty but my heart is heavy

January 29, 2025:

Sneaky. This book is subtle until it's too late. Boy oh boy I was on a certain character's side and then very slowly became increasingly suspicious of them.

It's a slow burn and takes a long time for the horror parts to show up, but until then it was fun watching someone falling in love against their will. When the spooky bits did show up, it was hard to figure out what I thought was going on.

And the ending doesn't care what you think is going on. No reveal of how, just sort of an "if you know you know" ending. A bold tactic!

Christ Is Among Them

I used to write poetry when I was younger but got away from it.I still don’t write it very often.But every once in a while, when the moment hits, I feel inspired to try based on something I heard or read.“Christ Is Among Them” is a Free Verse poem.Let me know what you think. Remember, I’m not well-practiced at this art. What if I told you, Christ is among them?Those weary eyes, those chattering…
