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?

Keep On Voting
If you are ready to make the change that we are on the brink of
And you are tired of the same old GOP story
You got to turn in some ballot pages
and you are ready to roll with the Blue tide changes
You got got to got to got to
Keep On Voting, Keep On Voting, Keep On Voting Blue
You got to got to got to
Keep On Voting, Keep On Voting, Keep on Voting Blue
*Inspired by the REO Speedwagon song "Roll With The Changes".
And you are tired of the same old GOP story

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

THE DYING LION
Once a king on green and white In the jungle's West
When once you roar the Jackals quake as far as East
Who would dare when you sleep to cross your den?
The world eagle of the west would beg now and then
At age seven the hyenas rose to tear the den into two
Almost all you killed them off, assuming: that will do
To western coast with your pride, wolves were tamed
Over the world your cubs excel, you can't be shamed
But now your roar goes no farther than your den
With much blood, e'en of your cubs, you've got a wen
Much festering...

To western coast with your pride, wolves were tamed
Over the world your cubs excel, you can't be shamed
But now your roar goes no farther than your den
With much blood, e'en of your cubs, you've got a wen

BLM
Black liberation
BLM is a good and timely thing that happened
it freed black- America from the stigma of slavery
and freedom of the psychological burden
of being second class citizens.
But it was not meant to be a liberty to do as one pleased
upending statues and robbing stores.
This brings us to the police that must have the right
to to arrest trespassers,
But I fail to see why the law have to kill people because
they refuse to be arrested.
Let us bring back how slavery came about, it was
not a gang of white men...

strive
in the internal struggle
we all feel the heat of rebellion
a new world assaults our senses
still heads down optimistic we walk on
everything we know is changing
I wonder will it be permanent?
riots in the streets
politics of the season in our faces
pawn to bishop five
your rook just ate shit
calculate your next move
take all from me
you can't take my faith
you can't take what is homemade in a soul
it'll bend but it won't break
it has a power all its own to defy logic
indignity, indignation rise...

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
one strong wing

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
carry or miscarry
much better

filled with hate

When will we be free
Every year; we sing
We're independently free
From colonisation regime
Free
From human-slavery
Free from
Antihuman policies
Impose on we
By em British colony
Free from slavery
to a free-free world
Free from brutality
to a greater course
But when exactly
Will we be free
From the war within
When will we be free
From talks of guns
When will we be free
From wars and bombs
When will we be free
From bad leadership
Coz all I see
is corruptive cliques ...
We're independently free

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?
because you
were born of
convenience?
