The good riddance that should have been but sadly didn’t materialize! (Poem)
By Stanley Collymore
Poland always was and in the 21st Century is still a vile, Nazi
fascist cesspit. And I’m mortified, that my father and others
like him risked their lives, and with some of them actually
dying in the process to save Poland’s undeserving, racist
and ungrateful ass. These ethical, thoroughly altruistic
and commendable human beings, and outstandingly
courageous fighters for freedom, on this occasion
ought never in my straightforward opinion, have
ever intervened, and not just simply in World
War II, but any war on...

At Odds
To don the freedom of civil garb
we stand again to look at America squarely in the face.
This country of ours, despite all
its better souls have done and dreamed;
is yet a shameful land...
It lynches
It disenfranchises its own citizens
It encourages ignorance
It steals from Us
It insults Us
We return from fighting, we return fighting.
Make way for democracy."
~W.E.B Du Bois
There is a voodoo about suppressing change.
Not the healing kind, but that glamour of infinite possibility...
A hex...

Ignorance – Lack of Knowledge and Awareness
Pain And Suffering,
We Choose To Ignore,
If We Turn Away,
It’s Not Real,
And Won’t Happen Anymore..
We Take Things For Granted,
In Our Picturesque Lives
But Records Show For Every Second Passed,
Another Person Dies..
Perished From Hunger,
Murdered,
But All We Do Is Moan And Complain
About Our Own Lives,
And The Pain And Suffering We Have To Go Through..
But What About The Destitute,
People Living On The Streets
They Have Nowhere To Stay,
Begging,
Sleeping,
In A Shop Doorway..
Freezing,
Shattered, ...

This Isn’t John Lennon’s Dream
Can you prepare me for what’s coming?
Tell me how it’s gonna be?
‘Cause I’m not sure I can handle it
This societal monstrosity
That creeps and winds its way around
The narrow minded and naïve
And there isn’t a person alive today
That has never been deceived
When it’s bound to books so old
The paper’s now decaying
With ideas so antiquated
They belong in the bindings, fraying
And did you know that someone died?
For being who and what they are
And did you know the words they use?
Will...
