#poem #poetry #poemreading A reading of my poem "Rain." It’s raining today. It’s a cold, dark, damp, miserable day out. It seems that it rains almost every day in New York. Now, I get that rain is important. I get that it waters the grass, the plants, the trees, and replenishes the oceans, lakes, and rivers, but still; it sucks when it rains almost constantly. Constant showers, constant downpours, constant gusts of wind and rain; it gets on your nerves after a while. Not only that, but it’s really unusual to see occur in New York so often. From what I remember when I was younger, it never rained so often. There would be the occasional shower here and there, but it wasn’t an almost daily or weekly occurrence. And why would it? This isn’t the South or the Midwest where it’s humid a lot of the time or where the weather is dynamic a lot of the time. No! This is New York. This is the East Coast. The weather is supposed to be stable. It’s supposed to be temperate. To see rain almost every single day or week makes me think that I stepped into the Twilight Zone to a universe where New York has the weather of Seattle. I don’t know why the weather is like this for sure, but I hypothesize it has something to do with climate change. I believe that the exuberant emission of greenhouse gases is dynamically changing the weather patterns in New York to the point where it’s similar to Washington State or Florida weather where it rains almost constantly.

Hey folks,
You might be wondering, "Why should people on Rumble or Locals care about what happens on YouTube?" And you know what? At first glance, you might think it’s not relevant. But here’s the thing — if it can happen on YouTube, the biggest platform out there, it can happen anywhere. Even right here on Rumble and Locals.
Recently, YouTube took the extreme step of deleting both of my channels: my author channel, jaimedavid327, and my meme and mashup channel, luffymonkey0327. And here’s the kicker — they did it overnight, with no warning, no explanation, and no chance to correct anything. Both channels were removed without any notice. Imagine waking up and having everything you’ve worked on for years just vanish. That’s what happened to me.
Let me make this clear: I didn’t break any rules. I wasn’t spamming. I wasn’t harassing anyone. I was simply creating content that I love — meme edits, mashups, and a bit of gaming content. The luffymonkey0327 channel was where I spent a ...
