I am afraid of what my Husband has become
He has drained all of my resources
And makes me work day to night
I can’t escape because the money
He takes funds a genocide
He has control over my body
And what I may or may not do
He poisons my food and water
And feeds me prescriptions until I’m blue
He sent our child to school
Knowing the teacher is armed and loaded
There is no place to go where
His morality hasn’t folded
He’ll silence me completely
If I do not stand up now
...
And makes me work day to night
I can’t escape because the money

And feeds me prescriptions until I’m blue

Knowing the teacher is armed and loaded
There is no place to go where
His morality hasn’t folded
He’ll silence me completely
If I do not stand up now

Be My Getaway Driver
Wound up, lucid, in my American daydreams
News, sounding like high density magazines
With red, paintings, draining from the curbs
Hiring getaway drivers to just escape the burbs
Rich rain, white shirts, flying from Yacht Towers
How, we're all neighbors? Thick hedge flowers
Eyes shut, popping blue pills just to make money
Political kerosene, smelling sweeter than honey
Please, pinch me by the throat, I won't scream
Be my getaway driver, take me from this dream

Political kerosene, smelling sweeter than honey
Please, pinch me by the throat, I won't scream

It’s your beautiful ending.
It’s your careless sigh.
It’s the way that you ended,
Without a real goodbye.

by the slice
I feel it!
in my stomach
that low vibration
of want...
need
I crave pizza
not a whole pie
mind you
just a slice or
two
but there is a
problem
around here most
of the pizza shops
that sell by the slice
are already closed
leaving me with the
damnable choice of
a dozen cookie cutter
big outfit cooperate
America pizza chains
with their crust that
taste like paste
their cheese as flat
as a glass bottom
boat...

US Election 2024
Sorry world,
I no longer believe a word anyone says about anything,
and I do not have the energy to argue with nitwits anymore.
For the third election in a row the claims will be evil versus evil, liar versus liar, corrupt versus corrupt, and they aren't necessarily wrong on either side about the other.
If it isn't obvious by now that this system is designed to provide terrible choices for voters, which became transparent when the Democrats shafted Sanders, the person whom really most Americans supported, America will never get there, and the only way it will change now...

Black Men in Torn Coats
Our natural coat
It’s torn
With discrepancy and fear
Prejudice and lies
Misconception
And racial eyes
• Our natural coat
Brown, black, ebony
All different shades
Not one color
Defines our epidermis
• Our natural coat
Is lovable
To significant others
Family and friends
Fresh as
Coffee in a cup
• Our natural coat
Comes in
All different sizes
Shapes
And different types
• Our natural coat
Is a gift
But also
A curse
Lost opportunities ...

Why Can't This Guy Just Accept Responsibility?
Donald Trump is starting
over with his political
schtick instead of being
a real man for what he
had done before and
while he was President.

God Save America
Bored with picking time from my teeth
a swarm of idle moments
beg a home on the page
pleading for justice
while darker whispers burrow deep
until the sway of the Zephyr
soothes the night
and then I wake in a sweat
dreaming the bad guy got re-elected
the deserts caught fire
and oceans of apathy couldn't put it out
while all the world was humming
God save America
from itself
a swarm of idle moments
beg a home on the page
pleading for justice
while darker whispers burrow deep
until the sway of the Zephyr
soothes the night
and then I wake in a sweat
dreaming the bad guy got re-elected
the deserts caught fire
and oceans of apathy couldn't put it out
while all the world was humming
God save America
from itself

Fight Don't hide
Silent whispers of rebellion ignite.
People rising up, their spirits untamed,
Against those who to control, unrestrained.
With hearts united, they stand tall and strong,
Their voices echoing, breaking the wrong.
No longer enslaved by power's firm grip,
They rise as one, refusing to submit.
They march in unison, a fearless brigade,
With unwavering resolve, their hope displayed.
Like a phoenix, they soar through the darkest night,
Lighting the path with their.
