THE BEE AND THE SCORPION
THE BEE AND THE SCORPION
Life has taught me that the snake
which can kill for love of sin
is well treated by all folks
more than bees that feed all men.
Cold wind, you make people hide
and keep their trash piled at home.
Breeze of spring, you let them out,
throwing litter to cause harm.
Scorpion, fearful is your sting.
It's the cause that drive all men
to give you their great respect
so that your harm they can shun.
Scorpion, men have learnt from you

Women’s March
Feminism at its finest:
The women’s march, a noble cause
Fight for equality, for women all
But wait you don’t like Jews
Catholics or pro-life women?
But I thought you fight for all women?
Feminism at its finest.
The women’s march, a noble cause
Fight for equality, for women all
But wait you don’t like Jews
Catholics or pro-life women?
But I thought you fight for all women?

TEACH ME TO FISH
The voice of the poor
craving to my head.
from the depth of great despair
he pours out his heart.
Give me little sugar for my tea.
I dont want no cake
unless i be unwise and fake.
I want to earn my take
that I may some impact in life do make.
I pray for you to hear my plea,
kindly make a poor brother glee.
I don't want no cake
just a sugar for my tea
is all I ask with a plea.
Life is more than eyes can see,
likewise is tomorrow a mystery.
You never know what may eventually
come to be.
Whether riches or...
craving to my head.
from the depth of great despair
he pours out his heart.
Give me little sugar for my tea.
I dont want no cake
unless i be unwise and fake.

kindly make a poor brother glee.

“Little African Man”
Little African man” “Hey,
Why don’t you go back to where
you’ve come from? This land,
ain’t yours n’ shall never be,
so what’s your grand plan? “
“Jungle Bunny” I’ve heard,
Why are you so brutishly wild?
Carryin’ on with all that savagery
n’ hate, seems so little it’ll take
to get you so riled...”
A vile “Bush Monkey”
That’s what ‘THEY’ purportedly
see...Odd, given the myriad of colors
awash in this Red, White, n’ Blue SEA...
Humanity...it sounds to me so much
like a foreign concept when it’s ...

One Perfect Day
I took him to the ones that create darkness
on the brightest, hottest of days
the ones that sway and rub
without breeze
Whisper stories to those who listen
The forest that raises
straight from water to sky
keep all hidden providing repose
nurturing peace and the quiet of calm
Embraces those that are still
The huge expanded one
glistens when dry
holds the richest secrets
offers protective blessings
To those that see
I took him for
without trying or knowing
he whispers his stories ...
on the brightest, hottest of days
the ones that sway and rub
without breeze
Whisper stories to those who listen
The forest that raises
straight from water to sky
keep all hidden providing repose
nurturing peace and the quiet of calm
Embraces those that are still
The huge expanded one
glistens when dry
holds the richest secrets
offers protective blessings

The Wild West is dead
The Wild West is dead
Even the vultures, flies and maggots
That feasted on the Gunslingers flesh are dead.
All that is left:
Bones in unmarked graves
Millions of forgotten names
The odd rusty gun
The odd rusty blade
The odd rusty bullet
A ton of forgotten corpses
Not just sheriffs, dancers, train robbers, bounty hunters or outlaws
Cleaners, cooks, servants, pastors, ranchers, shop assistants
Just normal citizens
Mundane lives and chores
Struggling to survive
Died of strokes, heart attacks, Cancer or old age
No...
Even the vultures, flies and maggots
That feasted on the Gunslingers flesh are dead.

Epidemic of emptiness pt.1
Cowered in the corner
the lost species sat speechless.
Glancing at the calendar
the days slip away.
They couldn't see
the deceptions
they attached themselves to
throughout their time,
Twas the true existential crime.
But the monkey mind morphs moments into something detached so far beyond "reality".
In the midst of mental devastation
they broke down and drowned beneath the raging waves of subliminal schizophrenia.
There is no real nor rationalizations
only blurred perceptions and denial
and self manipulation ...

A dozen pockets
The dark earth morning had never floated as light
Luminous fire seeds vanished darkness
River water heard
Stone lichens breathing
Trees full of white birds do
She slept in my perfect bed with me tenderly
among small insects grappling between night stars
Arranging nothing around work and thoughts.
Doom moths but a thought they remembered
If all times branches never fell,
who took on their kingdoms before her?
So...

Diversity You Can’t See
they dragged her out by her hair
a twiggy girl of fourteen
they planned to rape her but one said
“that Jew is too skinny”
that would not be
the only horror
she would face
bombs overhead
hiding under a mattress
on the basement floor
soldiers came to ransack
tearing the flesh of her fingers
with her teeth to prevent

Her...R.I.P The Star
Hey...long time no see
I really miss you...it been such along time...I miss how we were in middle school...wait in the morning in the main hall, happy smiles and hugs almost as if we knew each other before becoming best friends...then we would lock elbows and talk about all the wierd crazy things we experience over the weekend...either it was being surround by our families or we would just go on a wild walk with our outside schools friends, maybe get caught in some trouble or more and end our nights with the roaring bonfires that could touch what we couldnt reach at night.
I...

Sidereal
At the unraveled end
Of sidereal time
Time on earth is sublime
Intent to become fine,
Finally true to self
Yourself wandering on
From star to shining star
Learning, growing inside
Freedom's coloring tide.
Of sidereal time

white woman takes on politics
There are some who want the wall
They want to build it thick and tall
They fear the drugs that come across
And death that comes from cartel boss
And there are some who hate the wall
Cannot believe some have the gall
To let kids starve in wired cells
To kick down those who’ve been through hell
They say there’s human trafficking
Raping those in caravan ring
Not a crisis some would...
