Well you certainly have the Leonard Cohen vibe, I can hear his rusky voice half singing, half speaking this piece. Everyone knows . . . yet still it happens . . . I hear the anger, the frustration, the yell of wake up and do something . . . the hope that slipping masks might bring change
Your words and cadence are beautiful and intense. I believe good ultimately prevails, but my gosh the depth and breadth of evil…
It’s frightening, Lisa!
Good must prevail. ❤️
The great inevitability - love prevails.
Always, Stephen.

I heard his voice in my mind while writing this.
Yes, I agree. Many still have their heads in the sand!
Dear Rea,
This reminds me of something I read a long time ago where the writer suggested that passive knowing is no knowing at all. I wish everybody knew.
My best,
Mahdi
I wish the same thing, Mahdi. Thank you. 🖤
Everybody knows, not everybody wants to admit it. But one would hope there is some justice left.❤️
I hope that, Carole!
Yep, even if they don't say it. Then some maybe never will.
That’s sadly true.
Excellent, Rea. The truth will out. May it be sooner rather than later 🤞💪❤️
I hope soon! 🤞
Wow, 👏🙏
Thank you, Mark!
Powerful tribute.
Thank you, Stephanie!
Powerful my dear. Btw I love Cohen very much. ☺️🤗
Me too! Thank you. 🤍🤍
A nicely inspired post, and well-expressed for today's life and times. Love, Virg
Thank you, Virg. Much love.
Everybody knows, indeed—Thank you, Rea!
Thank you, Paul!
"Everybody knows
Helel won’t be denied recognition
The obscene desires worship
Exposing the liars kneeling at his feet"
I think Leonard would love!
Thank you, Hannah!
So true, Rea. So feelingly written
Thank you, Nash. I’m glad it reached you.
The facade is crumbling, and the world is finally seeing the depravity that has been hidden for so long. Very powerful writing!
Exactly! Thank you, Aaliya. 🙏
This is just freaking so good. I could not pick just one sentence that made me go “yup.” Truth in poetry is so fresh.
Thank you!
