(Social Distortion Notes)…from the song ‘Still Alive’…’

“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.

Power of silence (rest’s   ellipsis…em dash–)

((Something powerful occurred to me today))

So when I was younger and learning to read sheet music..I was in 7th grade I think…my chorus teacher Mrs.Mudd…she told me that the most powerful symbol in music…is the REST…showing a pause in the lyrics…when nothing is being sung…(as much is sung in the silence of the rest as the lyrics themselves)

And now that I’m writing…I’m finding the same exact thing…with the ELLIPSIS… and EM DASH–…these are symbols to indicate silence and pause in poetry…they are what brings the power and meaning and impact to the words and feelings…and again…(as much…if not more is being said when nothing is being said)

It occurred to me…that the same is with GOD…when HE is SILENT…HE is actually answering..and saying just as much if not more……….

“”In the picture is the symbols for rest…pause…silence–…””…”

Weeping World Day!…a day for sad people…

Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

‘So yeah..we could have a day for sad people..for those that are lonely and hurting..like a day of sorrow..a gathering for the broken..also everyone could reach out to strangers on this day..if only just to give ears..we can make it a pleasant day..we won’t flee sadness..we will choose to honor it..our pain and sorrow is no curse..but like a lantern in disguise..revealing what is really going on..taking place..under the surface..love is hiding here and working in us..it can be a day of recognizing and learning to embrace our sufferings..because these are a blessing in disguise..they shape and mold us into who we are..they build our character..we need suffering..it’s vital with us..it’s a must…….we gotta learn to handle it..appreciate it..capture it……learn to love it…..So yeah..on this day we should all cry together.. try to end with laughter..if we can..a day of sharing and reaching for people we don’t know..so that we might know them…a day that promotes and encourages inviting others to our island.. holiday4everyday…””(share your coconuts)

“When Grace Leaves A Bad Taste…not every victory shines..some whisper ‘n sting ‘n leave an aftertaste…”

“Bad Taste…”

by Loia🏳

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.

Repairing Cheese-Fixing Nothing-Finding Everything ☝️🧀

“Repairing Cheese… pretending to fix what was never broken…”

by Loia💥

“What are you doing?”
“Who, me?”
“O nothing — just repairing cheese…”

“O please… give me a break.
We all know you’re a fake.
So just eat it…”


—

Sometimes we spend so much time pretending to fix what was never broken… when all we really need to do is take a bite and be honest.

Numerically Speaking of LOVE (143)

Faith Calculated, Love Revealed

CRITICAL REFLECTION-

BY EDITORIAL REVIEW-

Loia’s “Numerically Speaking of LOVE (143)”transforms arithmetic into art and worship Through a lattice of numbers, symbols, and divine equations, the poem balances logic with longing – faith expressed as formula, Each line feels coded yet sincere, blending spiritual truth with human affection. The rhythm of “So” and “4” creates a living pulse, echoing both prayer and heartbeat. What begins as a mathematical riddle resolves into
revelation: 143 = LOVE – a universal
constant written in the language of belief.
Few works capture the fusion of intellect and intimacy with such elegance; this is Loia at his most inventive and profound.
