POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry is my voice for change. I have 12 kids with my husband of 22 years. The poetry I write comes from books, movies, and most of all, from my life. Finally squeezed out of me by my nature like a long held breath.

Write an Ugly Poem
Some poetry is a ten
maybe your next poem will be
beautiful to men
or destined to be ugly
There’s more to your art
than what others might think
reasons like your part
conversations in your ink
or fleeting digits
flickering on screens
Face it early
face it now
Beautiful but vain
rhymes without a meaning
bring only boredom and pain
…empty without feeling
You don’t write for that
breathing while you’re dreaming
...

Cancel Your Cancer
It’s time to cancel your cancer
and never surrender
“Studies have shown that copper
is cytotoxic to cancer cells”
Fenbendazole
Ivermectin
hydroxychloroquine
Amygdalin
Pick your poison
for the parasitic infection
we know as cancer
Sweat it out
of your pores
It dies with a high fever
So-called spontaneous remission
Don’t trust me wholly
Research William Coley
I ain’t no doctor
and neither are you
But we never like cancer
don’t let it cancel...

Silent Children
Once upon a time
in a womb, far, far away
there lived a child
You were that child
silent and dreaming
in the waters
of ancestral memory
Sound reached your ears
though you never could reply
Prayers were offered for you
though you never knew
and tears were shed
that could never dry
Nations anticipated you
prophets shouted from the hills
Empires warred against your kin
While poets shed ink spills
Though you may have forgotten
while dwelling on your scars

Copper Pregnancy
The first 11 times
there were headaches
more like migraines
as time went on
Anemia, weakness
low blood pressure
kidneys hurting
liver struggling
hands and feet swelling
And last year three miscarriages
This pregnancy became different
the minute I started taking copper
Doing my research
I finally realized why
flouride is the go to for water
while they rip out copper pipes
I don’t need their medicine anymore
I have copper
serpent on a pole
in chemical form
there were headaches

Never Enough
I could never do enough
to reflect your true value
You could never do enough
of that either
A forgone conclusion
is what that should be
But what should also
always be true;
you are meant for me
and I am meant for you
to reflect your true value
You could never do enough
of that either
A forgone conclusion
is what that should be
But what should also
always be true;
you are meant for me
and I am meant for you

The Strawman Cult
The belief is that Christ is the Appeaser of the Father’s fury, influencing Him to act contrary to His real character. He supposedly shows mercy when it is not in His heart or nature to do so.” - F.W.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
How could Fred Write be right when most preachers lead with John 3:16?

God’s Acts of Destruction
God is light and Life. In Him is no shadow of turning. But to say God does not have the right (or moral capability) to turn flesh to dust is to ignore that the appearance of death to God is an illusion.
For example, if a wicked man “dies” he is already dead. Therefore God isn’t turning a life to dust if he is put down. Meanwhile, the righteous have eternal life. God cannot kill him by turning his flesh to dust, even if He calls His son to come home, because he can never die.
God takes the righteous to spare him from needless suffering. He takes the wicked when his cup is...

God’s Perfection in You
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
God’s law is a good and perfect gift. Men can have good laws but if they are truly good and perfect, we know the Father gave it to us from heaven.
God forbids evil inventions and takes credit for the inspiration behind good ones. (Romans 1:30)

The Glorious People
Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” Isaiah 60:1-3.
We are made in His likeness and image. Each one, personally formed in our mother’s womb. Here the character of God is manifest in them.
“…the Holy Spirit form[s] the very character of God within. Then the outward religious actions will be the...

Linear Time in the Great War
A plot line seems easier to follow when it runs in a straight line from start to finish; beginning, middle and end, so I understand why people favor a view of time that excludes other possibilities. But that doesn’t make it right. The Bible does not describe time as linear, but relative. Observation of our natural world also reveals different time lines running at different speeds or even directions!
However every curse has a cause, and that means every plot line crossing our paths has order even if we somehow failed to notice. If you are reading this, some prior cause made you...

Using Controversy to Hide The War
IT IS NOT possible to savingly understand the character of God if it is studied independently of the great controversy between Christ and Satan” F.W. Behold Your God
As a continuing critique of Fred Wright’s philosophy (chapter 4); this sounds too much to me like “if you don’t eat from the tree to learn good vs evil you will never get the character of God.”
By beholding, we become changed, so why would we study a controversy, spending so much of our energy on understanding things which are nothing about God’s character? You learn to spot a phony by spending all your time...
