If you play with fire....(you know the rest)
A 44 year old woman in America doused herself in gasoline and lit herself on fire in protest of one of those yearly Miss America Beauty Pageant's. Before lighting the match, the woman shouted slogans criticizing the pageant's exploitation of woman. Her last words were reportedly, "WATER! WATER! WATER!!" The pageant continued.

Greatness
Great potential resides in every human being
The tragedy of the 21st century is
So few will achieve it
The tragedy of the 21st century is
So few will achieve it

Paper Chasing
Bird in the hand don't stand a chance
when the two in the bush waving money
Damn politicians are never there when you need them
Dagnabbit!!
That Governor Abbott
Saw a dollar
and went to grabbit
Beryl hit Houston while Abbott was gone
No power No water
Texans left on their own
Asian trade junket
Greg's chasin' them bucks
Those who looked to him
now see that "Greg Sucks"
He building walls
Blockn immigrants out
Say Texas got problems
Not the place for handouts ...

Anthem for doomed dawn
We are in the spirit of inequality fued
Dreamers didn't have any quality food
See us again maneuvering in solitude
Teach us critiques, keep the similitude
Free us from what you kept us deposited
Getting tired can only serve us pure hatred
Get inspired then you will get no regrets
Getting hired yielded cheapest labour at best
Getting fired only pays best when one has left
Setting fires across the streets for the unrest
Freedom fighters singing songs of freedom ...
Dreamers didn't have any quality food
See us again maneuvering in solitude
Teach us critiques, keep the similitude
Free us from what you kept us deposited
Getting tired can only serve us pure hatred
Get inspired then you will get no regrets
Getting hired yielded cheapest labour at best
Getting fired only pays best when one has left
Setting fires across the streets for the unrest
Freedom fighters singing songs of freedom ...

Independence
The wind chimes spoke freedom to me
more than fireworks ever could.
The breeze, you see, was liberty
and detonations are no good.
I understand the sacrifice
and the warrior spirit need
since compromise will not suffice
to stop the hateful and their greed.
And though the embers also spoke
about the movement in the air
they said as much about the folk
in exploitation everywhere.
Then south by southeast, each burst flew,
after every exhausted blast,
like a voice, exhaled anew... ...

Independence Day
I.
The kick of equality
across a continent
and a dose of
What. The. Fuck
does not match
the Q&A quiz
I took at 18
when I could finally vote
"What can you not stand, Tammy?"
"Hypocrisy."
Yet -
here it is—mangy hair
matted to the scalp,
shoveling the ground
to bury bones of truth
every passing moment
Its lids barely hang
by the teeth of its skin
blocking its eyesight
to democracy
dragging all that weight
killing off the last...

Love Will Win The Day (Prayers for Orlando)*
Hate wins another round
50 bodies shot dead on the ground
A disgrace to the true believers of the Muslim religion
a message from the devil delivered by a subhuman carrier pigeon
Our hearts today in America are cloudy and gray
but, GOD’s greatest gift-Love will eventually win the day

Get Real
I've said it before; I'll say it again;
the universe loves a saboteur...
especially if they are white, and men,
who call themselves an entrepreneur
that proceeds to pollute without a hoot
or maybe even brag about the mess
whose cleanup buck got passed, except the loot,
when bosses had the public acquiesce
because that's how fucking stupid they are;
another sucker born every minute
who thinks they'll be the next Hollywood star
if they only shut up, bear, and grin it.
No wonder the rich stay so fucking rich,
when poor folks...

Ethnic Bias
More attention must be placed on Haiti, Darfur and the Congo
About this MSM should be beating their drums but won't even beat a bongo
We need more news about these nightmare scenarios
In our Newspapers, Magazines and on TV's and Stereo's
Starvation, Genocide, Sex Trafficking and Rape
These issues need to spotlighted on live but we can't even get it on video tape
On these stories they pass on by us
and continue playing their games of-Ethnic Bias

Double Jeopardy
The paths of folly and of wisdom meet
once actuality is cast aside -
without a well-formed history as guide
the motive causes cannot be discrete.
A psychiatric record may complete
the judgments that profession needs decide
this does not mean that this will coincide
with commonly held views of man on street.
If public, private life both overlap
a second jury judge with hammer tap
and thus appears a novel Nemesis
making actu’l, if not mental, crisis.
Well, ‘such is life’, we have been heard to say,
we don’t recall it...

Exclusion or Inclusion
Is there a reason for a broken mind,
in Psyche’s nature, nurture, maybe both,
has thought transgressed some fundamental oath,
would comprehending cause help solve the bind?
Some think the medication is unkind,
can make cognition idiotic, sloth,
but absence makes for aberrations growth;
an equilibrium so hard to find.
To ask equality, to ask too much?
How could the norm equate that with poor thought?
To ask forgiveness, or for pity’s touch,
assumes equality with common sort.
Such damaged shards of this humanity
are...
