aquifer

butterfly cinquain

mercy
drier than the
river with no water:
how the lack of human kindness
mirrors
places in the arid desert,
where poor, helpless creatures
bow their heads in
silence!

My CV in Economics is Experienced!

How can there continue to be inflation
in housing markets
when unemployment is rising
and not even accurate
of actual inability to afford living expenses?

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

Happy Birthday Bukowski ~ an e-card

Charles Bukowski once wrote, “America doesn’t know tragedy ...”

I wonder if he’d still think that today ...

Humanity

When humanity dies
You can't expect anything
from your known/unknown faces!!
You will be back lashed!!
You will be mocked!!
You will be criticized!!
You will be thrown into pit of faults!!
May be one day or other
You will be killed by killing their humankind...The so called       HUMANITY!!

Grateful, ungratefuls

No one is ungrateful like those who already have everything

Whilst the poor learnt to appreciate and say thank you to less than what they deserve

Sunday Privilege

Sunday law
was a real
history

moral coup;
enslavement

and a threat
to both
seventh-day faith
and others

Every Adventist
is taught of

Medieval
inquisitions

and modern
persecutions

Every day brings
fresh fear from
Sunday Privilege
