In Loving Memory?
Submission for "This is how I remember it" Challenge
Friends and Family
Everyone I ever knew
Died tragically
In a memory calamity
⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓
Each burning revision
Excised in ecstasy
Tears pour with precision
Laughter echoes in fretful derision
⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓
A world overshadowed by doom
Once light has been shed on the trail of lies
Irrespective of magnitude or multitude
It confounds and consumes
⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓
Life no longer shrouded in mystery
A crimson avalanche from heaven
Their sordid, entangled history
Catastrophic as thundering artillery
⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓⌓
No shred of malignance shall remain
I root and ruthlessly burn it out
Willing, finally to bear the pain
My life and body to regain

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
