The Essence of The Woman Within
This sentiment of the soul cherished since the Garden of Eden, our sweeter scent, wanted, needed from way back when
Smooth emollients when used to pamper the suppleness of our skin
The temple must consume organic healthy food choices
In union women, you must get in the routine to check your breasts
It is our private awareness raised in unified voices
We must take care of our minds, our bodies, it is the gate well to give credence to the soul
Through the tears of pain may your sisterhood always be there to console
A kiss to the wind to let the...

The rain and reign of terror!
The year ends on saddest notes
of crying, dying babies in Palestine
and obstructed efforts
to throw them a lifeline
They ought to have long halted this ethnic cleansing
of the indigenous inhabitants
Stop the cruel bombardment
of their poor apartments
I'm not just griping for nothing,
the scenario is too bloodied
and gripping for sure,
Doctors go wiping off blood
as babies are rushed
dripping with gore
to hospitals tripping
with casualties galore
All humane hearts with any humanity ...

Snowflakes
As someone who has been around for a few decades, I have noticed a disturbing trend among the younger generation. It seems like kids these days are more like "snowflakes" than ever before. They seem to have a sense of entitlement and a belief that they are owed something just for existing.
Instead of working hard and earning their way in life, many of them seem to think that they can just play the race card, the transgender card, or some kind of mental health illness to get their way. It's almost as if they see these things as a free pass to success, rather than as the...

footprints on the pavement
You can't leave a footprint that lasts if you're always
walking on tiptoe.”—Marion Blakey
martyrs
walk in mortar,
culprits
in the sand;
pulpits
hide big talkers,
gloves are
love’s command.

wither
into nought ...

The Symptoms of Nigeria's Governing Arms
Executive- My powers are absolute,
thus I am totalitarian.
The legislature and judiciary
are each subservient to my whims.
I pass my bills with attendant
compliance, and interpret my own
terms as the law.
I shut the doors of compassion,
I am very deeply elusive.
I give no room at all to dissent.
I get bloated with the treasures of the nation.

the debt of death
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else
is the greatest accomplishment."—Ralph Waldo Emerson

let not the hand
of defeat
deface the countenance
of your dignity.

scarring
I show my scars so that others know they can heal.”
―Rhachelle Nicol
scared to be scarred
where pride has starred,
my bosom its incubator;
only to be lonely,
should you disown me,
husks left alone for later.
mock me or make me;
whose life is at stake? gee,
don’t make me find...

My Big Three
The passage of time lends itself to reflection
and while I never sought perfection
I can say some decisions regarding voting preferences
were just a consideration of all the alternatives
Then there were those votes cast at that point
while not designed to blindly anoint
do say yes these values cut across any one moment in time
and suggest a person whom I felt was a change lasting change agent
So while my vote for Jesse Jackson was a message about
getting beyond capitalism on steroids and the murder throughout
likewise the...

List #2: Ways to Suck
1. Text while driving, even though doing so claims the lives of over 3,000 Americans a year who are just trying to get to work or home to family. Shrug it off. Everybody does it.
2. Drink all of your water from single-use plastic bottles, even though a billion end up in the ocean every year, and fish try to mate with them.* Shrug it off. Everybody does it.
3. Leave your single-use plastic water bottles on the ground, in the park, wherever. No one is watching, so it doesn't matter. Integrity is spelled i-n-t. Never mind. Shrug it off. Everyone does it.
4. Pose...

Rules
are just the temporary guidelines spoken

Can't have everyone running around

It's just too dangerous without REGULATION
And RELIGION
Better penn the people ...

The True Two Party System
I've been to Greece
England
France
Even Iran
With my friend back in ten
I remember thinking
What the fucks up with American men
Ive had more problems when
I go out
It's almost a fight
Ive calmed with years
But face the same spite
You would think I feel unsafe cause of the men
No
Most
It's the hag faced, youngling, or bitter women
They hit home
Almost every time I'm out
Last time at five guys
An old lady staring with hate as she stuffed mouth
But it's always like...
