The Art of Grievance

America and Me

It will be negative

The art of grievance

It can feel positive

Quite convenient

Something soothing

Reliable

Reinforcing

Almost nostalgic

You will remember

this feeling past 

But you will never learn

how to feel the present

Just how you felt

... and not for long

It's always fleeting

going nowhere always

The art of grievance

one step forward

Two lost in argument

Always...

With a honed-in, scaled-back stroke, you deliver something profound. It recalled for me Ella Winters' line, "You can't go home again."

Thanks Jolly Day. That's a pretty generous review.

[Joli Dy]

You're very welcome, Davey Jones.

Grievance is a beginning as though... a Song has a Melody which follows a Score to be carried along in Stanzas... hopefully to a Crescendo of possibilities... my friend...softly, Pat

This could credibly apply to so many societal issues ...so it IS understandable but to me the vagueness of which issue is distracting.

[Davidgeo]

Could it really?

[Chris]

Hi, and yes I think it could apply.
