We made devil deals

Sold our souls for morsels of

Imprimatur gain

..............................................

Word of the day.

imprimatur

ɪm.prɪˈmeɪ.tər/ noun

'Official permission to do something that is given by a person or group in a position of power'

An observation

Vocal should feel like a happy garden, away from the horrors of the world, where one can lose the self for a short while.

Lately, it feels a little off. As if camaraderie and togetherness seems to have taken a long and strange vacation.

We all need the wins - yet we all can't win.

Let happy reign...even for just a few precious moments of joy every day.

    I love that closing thought: “Let happy reign.” We all need that right now.

    This was haunting. Often the truth usually are. You eloquently placed the mirror Infront our faces. Love the image you chose also, and the word you chose to lead the way. Awesome work, Novel 🤗❤️🖤

  • Yes, Vocal feels so empty lately. Loved the new word and your poem!

    in the corporate world this really applies. They use the lower down people and profit-absolute power corrupts absolutely

    Sage advice, Love people is hard sometimes, but using people is the devil's work indeed.
