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.

Blessed are They That Mourn - Even if They are White
The white woman’s tears
offended the forgiven debtor
a woman of faith
angered by
a spirit of
empathy
towards this
white remorse
either too
cowardly
or too thirsty
for revenge
she decided
to attack all
they like her that mourn
but attacking mourners
asking for
forgiveness
makes one as much
an oppressor
as also
unforgiven

The Truth, the Way and the Virus
WWJD
during COVID-19?
Would he stop
his ministry
mid-quarantine?
Has Cuomo lost
perspective?
Can he remember
back far enough
to his sniffles
mask-free outside
to bully
a bicyclist?
So much for all
the hyperventilating
hypocrisy
and elder
fat-shaming
just to hurt
the president
At this point
the virtue signals
are slipping
during COVID-19?

Don’t Abandon Your Party, Democrats
Freedom’s bird
needs two wings
Your wing is
a beaten ass
It’s time to speak
before a fatal blow
The righteous man
can be wrong
and right now
left is only
abandoned
inside and out
It’s time you
remember
...our bird won’t
keep flying
with only
an elephant as
one strong wing
needs two wings
Your wing is
a beaten ass
It’s time to speak
before a fatal blow
The righteous man
can be wrong
and right now
left is only
abandoned
inside and out
It’s time you
remember
...our bird won’t
keep flying
with only
an elephant as

It’s a Good Day for an Odysee
A TV that’s
better than
okay ole’
YouTube
I recommend
you think on
advancing new
currencies
and free
above cloud
information
while using
tech like blockchain
I found myself
a place there
to put up my
poetry
You should

Trump is a Sheep
As in a wet
behind the ears
...barely political
animal
Not just a sheep
a white lamb
Very gullible
simple and sincere
stable genius
annoying-orange-bad
and yet he
... is our wall
better than the
blip of stuff
at the border
with Christ in him
he’s a part
of prophecy

Damn it to Science!
Hey, it’s not hard!
just do it
and stop asking
questions because
it’s science
It’s science
because my friends
my newsletter
my country club
my favorite
entertainment
tells me it’s so
and I’m a good person
and science is good
but science is racist
...so are the schools
with the science class
that taught me
critical race theory
and I feel confused
just do it
and stop asking
questions because
it’s science
It’s science
because my friends

tells me it’s so
and I’m a good person
and science is good

Take This Crusade and Shove it - Pandemic of Holy Wars
If religion taught us
anything
It grows with us
over time
Some cults are old
while some are new
Politics is like
religion, too
Yet the burden
of the people
has been to
keep one’s own
mad crusaders
held in check
yet the fever rages
a flood of mini wars
most of us
don’t want
I mean..
come on
woke sleepers
...what the heck!?

Self-Respecting Guys VS the New Manson Playbook
Not Manson Cult
wannabes like
ANTIFA
your heroes are
actual souls
with natural
color coats
in every
Fitzpatrick scale
implicated
that’s from 1- 6
and they are
David Dorn
in your pawn shop
chatting, calm
beer in hand
Jessica Doherty
loved her man
of color
dying younger
than Jesus
Yet for convenience
proud boys are
assassinated
as white supremacist
It’s the era
of gentle...

Two Hate Crimes Don’t Make a Love
Mothers forced to
carry or miscarry
much better
than mothers
filled with hate
enough to
gut the innocent
over bigotry

Generations of Optional Children
How loved are you
because you
were born of
convenience?
Even keeping you
around after birth
was optional
Imagine if
instead
you were so
essential
strangers fought
to make sure
it wasn’t
optional
or merely
convenient
or because you
fit narrow desires
for you to be
carried or raised
but because
you were
inherently
the foundation
of all they valued?

Sisyphus Diaries - The Truth of Botched Legal Abortions
For every
reason to quit
a greater force
impresses her soul
Pushing the pain
forward to light
She leads her
agenda
to the drink
Yet it will only
satisfy itself
if your ears
and eyes will
open to take
opportunity
from the wrath
of a truth
made from the
deception
of blinded slaves
to surrender both
pre-born and mother
to sadistic destruction
in the medicine closet
of modern
eugenics...

Cultish Character

and empty offers
for solution

Oh, child of God!
death is on

begging for relief
Let not lies
