These Hands

I lie here,
Staring at my hands.
Thinking of all the
Destruction they’ve caused,
All the mouths
They have silenced.

These palms carry
No blood
These knuckles
Stay rough.
And I feel like
The devil is smiling

Idle hands are the
Devil’s workshop right?
Well these hands cannot
Remain static.
Senile and paper-like
These hands will lay waste

And hopefully learn to love
In the following decades.
Maybe they’re not here to hold,
But here to chip away
So waste away your nine lives
I’ll be here with these ten fingers.

Submission of the Year: Ronda Rousey Armbars Cat Zingano at UFC 184. (LINK)

First off, I’d like to apologize to my readers and followers of this site for not writing much as of late. I suppose you could call it writers block or maybe even just being distracted. Nonetheless, I finished my first piece of 2016, and this should be only the first in a constant stream of publishings. I’m almost a year in at this point and want to make the best of this New Year.

So without further ado, my latest piece for Last Word on Sports.

More Money, More Problems for Zuffa (LINK)

I have to show my gratitude to my readers right now. I’d recently been stuck in a weird spot where my planned articles had to be shitcanned due to some fights getting cancelled, and just not being able to decide what issues to tackle.

This story took me a while to finish, but I’m extremely happy with how it turned out, I can easily say it’s one of my best. I always welcome any feedback, comments and criticisms from all the readers and I strongly encourage it for this one. I got a record number of views on the Johny Hendricks piece and although I have to give big thanks to Last Word On Sports, I really want to thank the readers, you guys give me the extra motivation to polish up my skills. This blog doesn’t get the traffic that the sites I write for get, but every view on this page means the world to me. Thank each and every one of you.

Now on to the fight stuff. Here’s my latest for Last Word on Ronda Rousey, Conor McGregor, fighter pay, and the new business relationship between Fabricio Werdum and Ramzan Kadyrov.

Chromium

With every breath
I flow.
Every thought
Radiates transgression.

My life is a blend of
Silence and provocation.
Cuffed and gagged
With instability and confidence.

So don’t sit on your
Chrome throne and mock.
My mind is a nuclear plant
My hands are sheathed blades.

The facade is for
Your self reinforcement
No subterfuge needed,
I exude substance.
