Damn. ( I’m laughing at the obvious)
And I mean this humorously but:
Generally I’m an open minded writer and I support new and upcoming writers but If I had single dollar for every time someone ripped off my famous 1994 coffee quote I’d be a billionaire by now. I’ve seen it switched around, I’ve seen it turned into (gag) tea etc.boring, gross, lines stolen and thrown in without the smokes blah blah blah
Will someone please tell these idiots to create their own damn words and learn to write? I’m tired of seeing my words unravelled by dim-wits who think they’re being clever( See said inferior plagiarized quote below. No author on Google found or mentioned) Found this ” gem” on Facebook … Twice!
Twits!
Go buy your own damn coffee.
This one’s mine.
And always shall be.

New Poem From We Rise Like Smoke Poems Psalms Incantations Published by DeadMansPressInk Now Available on Amazon
THE STARS IN NIGHT IN FLIGHT
The stars in night in flight
The migration of the birds in
Flight revolutions of chaos around the
Circumference of the sun
(Like shadows)
But the gods haven’t noticed
As the starless night remains
Our dark evolution vast & sad
Beautiful & tragic
But Jesus doesn’t want to be found
& Buddha just doesn’t care
And Gaia just watches
Helpless
The Stars In Flight At Night
The migration of the birds in
Flight revolutions of chaos around the
Circumference of the sun
Humanity has risen
Not risen
Doesn’t notice
Doesn’t realize
Doesn’t care
Denies the stars
Denies itself
The stars migration
Love’s failure to love
One another
Each other
(Ourselves)
Death &
Beauty
Always the
Story of
Ourselves
Never
Ending

Where There Is No Vision by R.M. Engelhardt
“Where there is no vision, the people perish; rather, cast off restraint, become ungovernable, cannot be reined in” ~ Exodus 32:22, 25
WHERE THERE IS NO VISION :
Is the new book of poetic-prose by poet/writer R.M. Engelhardt written over the last several months March ~June of 2020 coming off of his last book of mysticism & poetry “DarkLands”. His new work”Where There Is No Vision” poetically and vividly captures the days & these times of fear, racism, death and the coronavirus quarantine with all the rage, truth, anger, grieving & sadness of a divided, broken & exploited American people betrayed by their own sociopathic President and even by both parties of their own government who did nothing to stop his reign or the death surrounding us themselves. The year 2020 will be remembered as the year a great nation was almost destroyed by a tyrant and his supporters. “Where There Is No Vision” will also be remembered for it’s scathing cry out against a country & administration which refuses to change or even save it’s own people who are on the verge of a near revolution and a recognition of false heroes, values and the destruction of a fraudulent democracy ruled by wealth & race.
Be Warned.
A Reckoning is Coming.
~ R.M. Engelhardt
Poetry Is The Language Of Mysticism &
Discourse. It Is The Whisper In The Dark, The Shadow In The Light. Poetry Is An Incantation From The Depths Of Your Very Soul.
