The Abstract Art Gallery
Broken, confused writer Jack Thomas puts the images in his mind on display in this "Blog." He dives into personal experience and his observations of the world to share his take on morality, childhood trauma, creativity, relationships, sex, politics, religion, violence, reality and more. Using countless formats from narrative driven short stories, to poetry, to song lyrics and philosophical explanations.
Total lack of excitement. Routine. Tame repetition. Mundane. Boring. Cyclical and maddening. A total lack of adrenaline faces the savage animal when caged. A stick static stillness which loops back onto itself settles in as is paces along the inner walls of its prison. Aimless it hungers for a chase. Whether hunter or prey. For some change or alternation. For the new and the original.
Read MoreSlave to this trade that I play. Its my crave. Truth is made. Madness, plagued. Tragic ways. The pen to page releases rage. Increase brain waves. Creative days from dark displays. Incetive chase. A heart cab race as dreams behave like tales well aimed at reflective states. As the mind gets clear the joy is raised.
Read MoreBeen struggling. Distracted. Making up excuses as to why a book isn’t being read or why words aren’t being written. It’s all internal. Self-sabotage. Lack of discipline and control. All the goals posted up, followed by a lack of strive to reach any of them.
Sluggishly it all gets done… eventually. It’s always eventually. No restraints holding back. No blockages in the way. Just laid out excuses. If the effort put into coming up with reason as to ‘why not’ were directed into reasons ‘why to’, just imagine what could be done. Some factor, piece, of being human creates this slow stride.

They focus on these trivialities rather than educating the individuals on how to formulate their own opinions and ideas with the tools of philosophy.

Used to write a quarter mile, then the isle broke
That mild smoke left leaving change to cope
Rearranged the hope, a strange cloud to float

The haze settles after the fog lifts
Boiling blood
Crawling in the upside down
Lines behind smoke and red eyes
Cultural intoxication
Normal circumstance is wasted
No longer judge the downfall
Judge who won't sink with the Ark
