“Still Alive… (Social Distortion Notes)” by Loia…💥🏳
Fire ’n smoke… no— not choke…still alive… Rusted… and bruised… still refuse… Asphalt… and dust— God’s in the gutter… Life’s a must… still got fight…
Dark night… alive— barely… and beautifully… Here to make… a stand— On the tips… of my toes… With a bible… and a guitar— in my hand… Still alive…
—
Author’s Note: Born from a few rough notes… after hearing “Still Alive” by Social Distortion— this piece rose from the grit… and echo… of that song. Not a cover—just a heartbeat… faith flickering through the dust… still alive.
I sprayed a man… without a face— I sprayed him… with my can of mace— Unfortunately… seems it went to waste— Fortunately— I left him… with a real bad taste…
—
Interpretation (by Loia): I fight darkness… with what I have— GOD fights it… with who and what HE is… Together… we are a team— leaving a bad taste… in the mouth of evil…
Fragments of Loia — where the broken laugh, the faithful ache, and grace writes the last line.
