Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Firebrand.

Roots sinking, 

Conviction unblinking,

As cassocks demand 

The soul of the firebrand,

Just to master the survival

Of manicured lies 

And winsome façades,

Neglecting to reflect

That somewhere, some

Of the time, Prometheus

Doesn't genuflect, allows

The dream to effervesce, 

Willing to take

The punishment instead...

◄ Sublunary...

Translucent. ►
