Why do I feel like I should apologize for this??
I must have been 12 or 13
Mom was acting in a play
I helped her learn her lines
got to hang out with the cast
and I felt like the coolest kid ever
sitting on a bar stool.
Of course he was drunk,
this hilarious man I’d seen on stage
celebrating a performance well done, I guess.
My memory of the room is fuzzy
though I’ve been there often since
I only recall, “do you have pink, underdeveloped nipples?”
*
???

And I don’t know what happened next
nothing dramatic, nothing physical
he...

My Body My Choice
I don't force you to pray my way
I don't force force you to eat what I eat
I don't force you to accept who I love
I don't force medical procedures on you
I don't force private choices be known publicly
I don't force my own beliefs on you
I don't force hate upon you with blinders on
I don't force you into being a 2nd class citizen
I don't force the poor further into poverty
I don't force my will upon yours
I don't force you into acceptance with lies
I don't force you to understand my OWN choice
I don't force- fully steal...
I don't force force you to eat what I eat
I don't force you to accept who I love
I don't force medical procedures on you
I don't force private choices be known publicly
I don't force my own beliefs on you
I don't force hate upon you with blinders on
I don't force you into being a 2nd class citizen
I don't force the poor further into poverty
I don't force my will upon yours
I don't force you into acceptance with lies
I don't force you to understand my OWN choice
I don't force- fully steal...

Charlatans
(Radix malorum est cupiditas)
For the love of money…
Men have sold their souls
Men have told lies to reach their goals
For riches and fame
To cheat at the game
Men fight to have
More money
More power
And with it,
More control
But what’s even more appalling
Is that some will say they have a calling
From the Almighty…
(Dollar)
And they will holler
From the pulpit saying the most high
Has commanded they live with wealth
See the gospel of prosperity is a pyramid scheme ...

Grieving The Pen
Grieving the pen mourning twilight
my night's seem so long
no more tears of my sick heart
turning my world to dark
in the ossuary of all my fears
grieving the pen mourning twilight.
my night's seem so long
no more tears of my sick heart
turning my world to dark
in the ossuary of all my fears
grieving the pen mourning twilight.

Exercise In Futility
Do you know,
How I bled for you?
How I toiled through
Through the night to
Fill your fancy?
How I undressed?
How I redressed?
How I pondered for hours...
While doing a thousand other
More necessary things.
Distressed and distracted.
Hoping against hope.
That this time,
You will care.
That you’ll see me,
That I’ll be enough.
Rife with imperfections,
As I am.
Stubbornly, hoping that all
Those tears and...

To the Men Who Refuse to Unlearn
He grew up hearing "try harder"
and now he's got a rape allegation
with his name on the front cover
she said no but all he heard was
"push, shove, take it farther"
Men, why the hell do you even bother?
My sisters don't leave
without a blade hiding in their sleeve
they go out in packs
because sometimes survival
means you got to put
your power in numbers on blast
And society takes it's ugly head
and turns the other cheek
to a woman who says
"Stop it, please"
Instead...

Stain Upon Ugly Stain
Get off of my skin, I can't feel!
Shread the flesh from my neck
For those who embrace hate
Have painted my soul blood red
With the memory of lives that matter
And only Justice can wash away the stain
But her robes have been stripped from her body
Set afire in cities of red, white and black
The pain pours from my eyes, blinding me
Yet showing me the plain truth
Of why white must shout BLACK LIVES MATTER
Because so many still cling to a long dead past
Where they believed blacks were not people at all
So the murders...
Shread the flesh from my neck
For those who embrace hate
Have painted my soul blood red
With the memory of lives that matter
And only Justice can wash away the stain
But her robes have been stripped from her body
Set afire in cities of red, white and black
The pain pours from my eyes, blinding me
Yet showing me the plain truth
Of why white must shout BLACK LIVES MATTER
Because so many still cling to a long dead past
Where they believed blacks were not people at all
So the murders...

Pinned beneath the knee of corrupt authority...
The majority of us can no longer breathe...
Please sir please!!...
You better fucking believe we've had enough..!
Your handcuffs and batons that beat innocence to death...
We the people will rest a knee on your necks...
Your guns and your vests...
Lest you forget were trusted to protect...
Your protection is needed no longer...
Your infection has made The People stronger...
This is a protest of morals...
Try and get your knee to the throat of 350 million men an women...
Who...
The majority of us can no longer breathe...
Please sir please!!...
You better fucking believe we've had enough..!
Your handcuffs and batons that beat innocence to death...
We the people will rest a knee on your necks...
Your guns and your vests...
Lest you forget were trusted to protect...
Your protection is needed no longer...
Your infection has made The People stronger...
This is a protest of morals...
Try and get your knee to the throat of 350 million men an women...
