One of the best parts of Nostr in 2023 for me were #poems. Will see how much I can haiku myself into posting... for today I just wanted to create an index.

Thanks to all of you who supported through reposts, likes and zaps... motivated me to keep writing these 🫂

quoting note1p4z…5yge

Your are part of the history
Don't let that get taken from you
By liars and distractions

quoting note1x9t…th50

love your flaws
when they come for you
and try to exploit
the weaknesses
to make you less
you'll need to respond to their hate
with love

quoting note1fyd…z9jt

Write down what needs to happen
All the intricate details
Then do not say it
Or broadcast it to the world
Do it

quoting note1ku2…mxtr

shut up, and take it
stop resisting
it's your fault
and we're helping fix it
do what we tell you

quoting note1vye…tzgz

that pain you're feeling
let it flow
savor it
yet time limit it
for it is not meant to destroy
but wake you up
so you can see
where you are
what you're meant to do
who are the people
that in the dire need
at least listened
empathized and carried part of the pain
and who are those that fed it
with tricks, lies
and selfishness

quoting note1850…sfjc

let them win
if that will create a world
in which you'll have less
and everyone else will have more
let them get their way
if you can pay the price
and carry the burden alone
making the struggle irrelevant
but you will be damned
if you give up
defending the truth
because it was hard
to disprove lies
and stand in the way
of those with power
and their ego
because it was easy
to let others
get thrown under bus
while you watch
injustice
and
pain
from safe distance
when you could've
done something
to stop it
and help usher the world
in which everyone
would've had more

quoting note16mc…f4e8

stop being honest with people
that are not honest with you
it's not you, it's them
there is nothing you can do.
the attention
the loyalty
the effort you put in
are all pointless
they have made their choices
and those choices do not include you.
so, move on
stop the talk
and
walk the walk
journey the journey
to find where you truly belong.

quoting note16xg…54x5

the power you have
it's been given as a tool
you wield
to accomplish the goals
that you swore you'll accomplish
the power is not there
to be used for pointless
domination of others
and selfish stealing of value
that belongs elsewhere
just because you now can
leech it for goals other than the promised ones
and it'll leech you into evil you shouldn't be
one that wins when there is nothing to win
and loses when loss is ultimate
ignore the calls of others
who can sense the power you hold
and want you to use it for their gain
they do not know what they are doing
tricking you and them
into reality that shouldn't be
stay focused on your lane
do not disturb the lanes of others
wield power to do
what you vowed you'll do
