Where did the time go?
How did it get there?
Where did our minds go?
Does it all seem fair?
Some travel faster
Some go much farther
Some see the slave as lord
Some see the Father
What is the mission?
What is the reason?
Did you seek permission?
Or did you go with the season?
Some seek it out
Some just get told
Some quit while they're ahead
Some push until they're old
Why do you want so badly?
Why not be content?
Why do you sell your soul?
Why let your life be spent?
You thought it was in the name of saving
You thought you were safe from harm
You were falling safely in a spot
That was nestled in evil's arm

Seeds of Tomorrow
In the heart of what was once a sprawling metropolis now lay the flourishing city of Arcadia, a beacon of hope and sustainability in a world scarred by environmental degradation. Towering skyscrapers, adorned with lush vertical gardens, reached towards the azure sky, while vibrant greenery carpeted the streets below. Solar panels and wind turbines adorned rooftops, harnessing the sun and wind to power the city's gleaming infrastructure.

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.
