Plea
honest critique can be an oxymoron
it's sometimes an excuse used by the egotistical
to be as harsh as they want, sparing no feelings
bearing no responsibility when destroying writers
these consider themselves as the elite but not so
the do not care who they hurt or how they hurt them
they point the finger and laugh at writers they see as peasants
they find their peers wanting in all areas because they have to
in their lust for power over others, they will stop at nothing
there is not a place they won't go in fact the lower the better
they...

These concentration camps takin’ lives
Before they even begin/
Young kids cryin’
Not asking for anything but liveable conditions/
While you just smile and turn a blind eye
Watching innocent people die/
Do you even realize you’re responsible for murder/?
No, probably not,
Too busy invading...

Children’s Lessons in America
Mamí talked for weeks about the trip before we got in that old truck.
She rambled on and on about the amazing, beautiful things we would discover.
She spoke of our trip, painting it all in red, white and blue.
The grand people we would meet, the sing-song languages they would speak.
About the rainbow of skin, hair and music we would discover when we arrived.
Once there, she said, we would get to eat our fill of the food in colorful packages I’d passed by so often and begged for her to buy. ...

INKling No1 – real love
From The New INKling Series
love when confined to dwell
in human feelings
that have no application
in its dealings
is like a will without a way
love’s what you do
not what you say
it’s how you deal
not how you feel
without work gloves
it’s not real love

SUBCONSCIOUS NIGHTMARES
NO ON IS UNTOUCHABLE...for what I am about to have is a raw and uncut conversation about something that goes on in someones life everyday somewhere that they are alive, for what I am talking about its called ABUSE whether sexually mentally or emotionally till sometimes it gets physically breaking you down spiritually till you find it so hard to even breath.
FOR NO ONE IS UNTOUCHABLE...for in fact...

Standing Together
All people are able to stand up
The sovereign individual has that power
Most prefer not to, they'd rather sit
If difficult they want to sit this one out
It could be that they are scared, nervous
Low is self-esteem, depressed, infirm,
Paranoid, timid, anxious, dullness, stupid,
You may be practising, inertia, inactivity,
Sloth, languour, inertness, weakness,
Incoherence, moral looseness, laxity
You could be drunk, high, passed out,
Inebriated, angry, raging but unwilling
To release the beast that's within us all
Lack of courage ...

Compete!
The human experience, can only give so much to writer's block,
Maybe it's something you shouldn't knock....
I love being given prompts,
As a challenge to express my style and story in their prompts.
And the feeling of winning a competition (although the goal is just to have fun),
Is not something that's overdone.
It is my favorite thing about the site,
More encouragement to write.
Though I have my own adventures and life events,
The more competitions you enter, the more people see your page, and the more encouraging comments.

You Are Not It 2
You wake up
Twenty-five years
Later knowing that
Nothing
Matters and
Nihilism wasn’t
The answer
Either
“If I suck balls, you are
King of suck balls mountain!”
What you’re doing is
Unnatural, everyone
Can see this, yet, no
One ever says
Anything
Nagging complaining
Women and weak
Bitch-ass
Dudes
Lethal
Combination
A small loud
Minority that
Dictates?
Yeah, so who
Really is the
Weak
One?
Fuck-ass
Population ...

I'm a Stranger
You don't know me
Well maybe you do
It's only here though
Social Fucking Media
Sometimes I want to call you
Burst into your imperfect world
Maybe make you laugh
Or cry
I'd like to have that freedom
Yet I'm a stranger
Air
Vapor
Mist

The Truth
Race is a total myth man, I don't care what you say
That's why there's so many white guys in the NBA
Like, acknowledging racial differences equals disrespect
Look at me everyone I'm politically correct!
Also men and women are like, totally the same
And I don't care one bit what the meanie scientists claim
Evolution is a lie and Biology is a joke
C'mon everybody now It's time we all got woke!

our bloody inks
The ink and the oil and the blood swirl into one another as
though they were made to be together.” ― Alice Broadway
no need to judge who sheds the reddest blood
or pause to test who bears the sharpest quill
it is enough we drizzle like a flood
when on life’s canvas kindred spirits dwell
compare me not to you by shade of ink
or by my frequency of pen in hand
my penny thoughts may teeter on the brink
of eloquence you cannot understand
what were the faith of lyrics sharp like swords
reviling fellow inks...
though they were made to be together.” ― Alice Broadway
