We Are The People
Racial Discrimination
Bigotry it’s sad correlation
Such an unpleasant topic since the beginning of creation
Even the narration
Has been society’s own downfall castration
These words have never gotten the props of a backseat stagnation
To despise coloration of one’s skin is a mental sickness infestation
No jest or reasons for this unfair formulation
The ancestry history of blacks caught, and netted
Future landed to be sweated
Savagely molested
American is still indebted ...

Hazel Hated Fat Women
My grandmother wore high heels well into her seventies. Her size six outfits were impeccable, complimented by rings with multi-carat stones. The glint of diamonds and emeralds prompted dim-witted queries from strangers: "Is that real?"
With a wave of her manicured hand, platinum polish flawless against olive skin, she'd dismiss the commoner. "Yes dear, of course." Her tone was dry ice.
A doting and fun grandmother, she was cautiously benevolent to outsiders.
There was one subset of humanity, however, to which she was downright cruel: fat women. Obese...

Blindness Of The Eyed Ones
It's so easy to write more words
vanity and levity, that say less
much the same when you talk too much
while your speech is meaningless
even at more lower level when you lie
in this mature age and awareness...............
when the child lies we blame the kid
scald him sometimes, hurt his feelings
don't we realize that they are our seed
Then, we reject the crops that we have sown
shameful when the child read our sickness,
see our vulnerability, watch how weak
we present our poetic selves....

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 ...

As the World turns
look East they chanted
look East, look East
and they did
the vanquished was lavish
in their achievements
hail sons of the Rising Sun
work hard o' children of toil
till the land
cut the hills to make plantations
sully the water
who cares, they are for monkeys
what...you need that for survival
monkeys or humans
choose....
oh look the money's coming
ker ching ...ker ching
lets spend it on a ship
an old used one
that will never sink
the rest of the money is mine
...

I only had a corona, five-cent deposit
Injustice of greed
Practices we inherent
One legged Pete
Can see it in her eyes
One armed Steve
Feels the same
The dirt
Scarcity and emptiness
In their environment
The people will survive
Question is
Will they thrive?
One-eyed Wednesday
Gazes out
Across the endless tide
Humanities vanishing footprints!!

Skin Talk
In America my skin is my rope, every melinated fiber of it , society stretches it around my throat. My enemies wear hatred like a coat.
My people became a American nightmare floating on a boat. Slavery was only emancipated, in the deceptions written in their quotes.
Burning crosses lighting the images of evil laughing ghost. Moses shouting let my people go, pharaoh said murder, every first born son, so their population would not grow.
My people shouting let freedom ring. And in trees in the summer breeze.Tearful ebony eyes watched freedom swing.

this feminine rage
My anger scares you
it's not pretty or delicate
doesn't fit within the fantasy
you've built around me
though I've always been fire
I remind you of your psycho mother
who tried to fell your father with an axe
and blow up his car
after he'd moved on
from their crazy toxic relationship
It doesn't matter that I'm not psychotic
that I've never raised a hand to you
or an axe
or tried to blow up your car
The pitch of my rage rings alarm bells
in your head
and it's easier to throw sand in my...

Rusted iron bands.

Because I can't shit upwards
Because I cannot shit upwards,
I use my shit to convince those being shit on
to rage against those shitting on them.
I will become the shitter
to catalyze the mission,
but know I shit with love, with passion and compassion,
with the guts and the bile to see what is causing the problem and die trying to fix it.
If it didn't require shit,
I would use a different expedient means.

Seeking the truth
I've seen beyond
These earthly realms
I know the secrets
Kept hidden by the elders
The truth you so desperately seek
Has been carefully hidden
Buried in the backyard by the dogs
Ingrained behavior controls us all
The dogs are my shepherd
I shall not want
They maketh me graze
Upon the grass so green
They leadeth me beside the waters still
They fatten me for the upcoming feast
And though I trod through death valley
I will not fear
For the dogs are with me
Leading me to the dinner...
These earthly realms
