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.

Let There be Voice
Trapped under
singing ice
..trees falling
in the farthest forest
before a voice
could be heard
beckoning
heaven’s stars
to raise the light
...in the beginning
ears were there

Our Humanity Belongs on the Throne
Oligarchy
is outdated
their lapdog
...the grievance party
has forgotten
their original
noble potential
progress
gently free
and deeply
meaningful
Conservation
of principle
means we need
stability
with real strength
on the right
Our humanity
...however
not oligarchy
must rule us
The power
of being human
....our spiritual
integrity
belongs on the throne

Biden’s Preteen Victims Matter
Treated as less
than animals
the victims outnumber
what caused riots
in the streets
If you think
George Floyd mattered
Biden’s victims made
it look like
a routine traffic stop
by grim comparison
if one crackhead
like him exists
in politics
of the steepest kind
...how many more are
still out there?

Biden “Science Matters”
Science is political
questions begged by
and asked by
dominant voices
Eugenics
politics
criminal psychology
even “climate change”
feeds a holy grail
standing accused of racism
and while his constituents
say black lives matter
he says “science matters”
...what a tool

Assassinated in Chief
Demi Lovato
Are you wise to false accusations?
The most murdered man,
if hate is murder
your Commander in Chief
our Number Fourty-Five,
is hated with poisonous lies
but you’re a lucky one
If secondary victims
are lucky to witness
such trauma
as these ideas
It will take a
miracle
to open your eyes
your heart has been
whipped and tortured
by communist lies
But it will

Books Are Another Kind of Flag
Not just for reading
some mediocre
while others better
representations
of deeper
more exciting
influential thinkers
...some art in
shelf help form
whether the
cover or pages
excite you
your passion
shows on your
book display

Proud Boys and BLM Together VS ANTIFA Commies
Despite media lies
brave Proud Boys
and BLM
came together
in love and truth
winning on
common ground
Both want good things
and stand against
communism
like ANTIFA
Infamous usurpers
of social justice and
reasonable progress
....they come selling
social cultism
which is no change
but theft of growth

One Shocking Lie Threatens the President
It’s a modern-day
pro-life “Crucible” story
a lie about murder
witchcraft of
fake news
Supposedly
foul play with
fetal kidney cells
in laboratory
Check the facts
they don’t check out
prolife is with the guy
that got well
our President #45

Lockdowns are Officially Dumb - W.H.O. Finally Says So
Half of all
children are
malnourished
robbed of their
oldest years
for no one
Prom is cancelled
or even worse
rituals defaced
forever in photos
poverty doubled
marriages broken
educations crippled
minds with lobotomized
memories of faces
But don’t worry
the W.H.O.
has reversed
it’s policy

Experiment - Serve 100 People Per Day
We probably
have regular
dependents
might be 3
or more than 10
but if you have
2-4 hours
remaining
after basic
lifestyle
maintenance
can you give
100 people
2-4 minutes
(an average)
to improve
and empower
each of these
life pathways?
That’s two to
four hours
to transform
our futures
more than
a virtue signal
a survival

Children are Hard to Come by (A Poem for Future Parents)
To a child
spoiled by wealth
in the form
of siblings
or the youth
wondering
if their purpose
is parenthood
(and I hope it is)
Do not think
it is an option
like a dish
on a menu list
Half the time
you don’t try
and still get
a surprise
Half the time
you try hard
....and for no
sweet surprise
spoiled by wealth
in the form
of siblings
or the youth
wondering
if their purpose
is parenthood
(and I hope it is)
Do not think
it is an option
like a dish
on a menu list
Half the time
you don’t try
and still get
a surprise
Half the time
you try hard
....and for no
sweet surprise

How to Hate Having Kids
First, be judgemental
towards parents
take away
as much of their
liberty
as possible
Second, start young
with your own
parents and friends
Don’t help raise
your siblings
even if all cultures
from the start
like so many insects
and intelligent mammals
are wise to do it
and this poison
will shrivel your nest
towards parents
take away
as much of their
liberty
as possible
Second, start young
with your own
parents and friends
Don’t help raise
your siblings
even if all cultures
from the start
like so many insects
and intelligent mammals
are wise to do it
and this poison
will shrivel your nest
