Where is Sanity?
14 people were shot in Garfield Park here on Halloween
I am surprise the cops didn't run out of yellow tape at the crime scene
Yesterday CNN said
that another Rapper was shot dead
When you live in a country that has lost it's humanity
"Where Is Sanity"?

Halloween Epiphany
There is a litmus test in the United States Bill of Rights to help us determine if a citizen or political candidate is an authentic disciple, and perhaps practitioner, of the MORALITY espoused by Jesus Christ...at least enough litmus to allow the claimant of such to provide a shred of legitimacy to such claims.
That litmus is known as the Eighth Amendment.
"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
This is our national behavioral standard for people...IN CUSTODY.
But we...

Unpublished Poems
I composed many poems for my readers all over the world,
But my supportive readers do not have access to all my writings.
Some persons may feel that I do not have more compositions.
And that is why I must share this information with everybody.
I also wrote other poems that some websites refused to publish.
They robbed people of the opportunity to read these poems.
Some people talk about free speech, but they do not know what it means.
Others bow to pressure from the law and suppress my work.

War Horns Sound in Empty Rooms
Have you ever heard the horns of war
in the clock ticking on a blank wall?
In an empty room, save one more:
a messenger of bureaucracy's gall.
Eviction's at my doorstep,
I applied for assistance.
System's broke and limping,
help is at a distance.
I ask the weighted question:
"do I have legal protection?"
She's tired, weary of the pain she sees.
Now she sees me, my turn to be told
"Not that I'm aware of," she cajoled.
She's kind, gives me leads...
but she has done more;
she has sounded the horn of war. ...

Cry-baby (with Skyra)
Excuse my sanity.
I lack the parts to portray “he” or “man” to be
labelled as such, not much of a “key” to humanity.
No metal seems to be a fan of me.
Allegedly I created aura’s for them to be mad
and sickened, partially wicked, characteristically chickened out of glee.
Can I just say I’d like to leave?
No? Oh well, on my way to lies and deceit.
Can I just say I’d like to believe?
I can? Well damn, let’s pretend I’m suddenly
saint again.
If my life takes time out of yours for you to go
ahead and say I...

Direct Questions And Direct Answers
I have a direct question to ask the minister of national security.
What gives you the feeling that you are a better person than the ones whom you regard as criminals?
Since I do not expect you to answer the question, I will answer it for you.
Whatever label you give other people, you and your colleagues are the same thing.
I also have a direct question for other members of the government.
What makes you think there is a difference between you and the people whom you call wrongdoers?
I am certain that you will not respond to my question, so I will give you...

Villanelle Nr.23 — Reviewing the Queen and Us
To the discordant witch we had to say no
a long time ago as the terminators proceeded
without a hitch ’til the wee small hours and time to go
home where cold beds lay waiting for us and so
all we had to do could have succeeded
by shutting the rough sheds and saying no …
sadly naďvety piqued the flow
of consequences and firmly heeded
the lies spooked rickety minds ’til time to go
demonstrating that to keep the show
on the road one keeps language fully seeded
steeped in pageantry to test the...

American Healthcare
Suffering.
The crowd pushes around me,
Forcing my palms to meet with the ground
“Please just let me go-“ i plead,
My legs shaking, my breath short
All the while children tussle and parents cry, everyones ear perking up at the sound of the door
“Animals, the lot of you.” I can here the rich man say.
Is he wrong? Are we not all here to get a type of help that does not truly exist?
So many sick people, and not enough to heal them.
My arms falter, and my body folds in on itself. The feet kicking in my sides,...

Boycott
A peaceful boycott is the most effective form of protest that exists.
No government can force the people to do business with any company.
Their guns and their nuclear weapons cannot repress a boycott.
You do not have to spend your money with oppressors and exploiters.
By the way, some of these companies contribute to the pollution of the earth.
Stop supporting certain businesses and demand justice from your leaders.
You can hold out longer than they can because they do not like to lose revenues.
As individuals, you will not lose the amount of...

To Chivalry!
Now is not the time to cower and pray
In gothic caverns of Christian despair
But to pitch on in to the public fray
With a simple statement that says "I care."
I care about all the so called losers
Abandoned by the sterile logistics
Of the profiting prophets and choosers
Un-flamed by altruistic phlogistics.
I care that comfort, by high rent, is rent
And that people on the streets may suffer.
Is there no way to get what needs spent
To promote a more civilized buffer?
Must we, Spartan-like, leave the weak to the dogs
And menace...

The Knaves Potential
Are the Beatitudes now so undone
That we are the flipside of jihad's coin
Treating the Hun to one more bombing run
Betwixt distractions of bling and loin?
Then rebuilt towers represent defeat
And not the sought for triumph of the west.
We, as well then, are dogs waiting for a treat
And not shining knights passing chivalry's test.
We are meritless wizards of technique,
An Archimedes screw going both ways,
To give alternating progress oblique;
Sometimes trending up...then only belays,
Like gigantic ships upon bergs of ice ...
