Growl

Powerful piece. Short but right on point describing the mentality of people who are simply against unity and peace.

I was wondering what that cloud was hanging over the insurrection a year ago. Now you've explained it. It was a cloud of lies and hate mixing with the virus breathing and breeding in the stupidity of that moment

That scenario would most likely be one that would fit this, I am sure.

I've read several articles lately about extremist groups and how websites pander to their warped beliefs. They seem to limit themselves to such sites for the sake of confirmation bias. I wonder about our future if major members of both political parties don't publicly disavow them.

I believe the title says so much, dear Jacob. Such a strong, guttural sound, enough to drive any to rage and riot. It reminds me of the rioting in Washington last year, lies inhaled and hate exploding at the altar of democracy. A very powerful senryu! ⚘

This brevity is so powerful J. Inhale lies at your peril. A warning for sure.

Poems are always stronger when they hold a truth in them. You’re poetry is always so honest and down to earth, not covered up by anything else but just the words. ‘Inhale lies, exhale hate.’ How wonderfully powerful. Thank you for sharing.
