Silenced by Fear
How many of you have seen the 1984 television movie "The Burning Bed" starring Farrah Fawcett? Fawcett plays an abused, battered wife that's repeatedly beaten by her husband. She tries to seek help but nobody has taken the initiative to assist. One night after she is raped by her husband, she sets the bed on fire while he was asleep.
A similar fate has happened to a neighbor of mine that lived diagonally from me. She was maybe 35-40 years old. The few times I've seen her from the distance I can tell she was fairly thin, average female height, with long curly black hair....

rain
sorrow rains inside me
looking cheerful but you know...
I'm lying to myself
seriously hurt, I withdraw
you get what I'm willing to show
a fake smile, like it's okay
it's tiring this game
trusts broken, take a long time to heal
if they do at all
gentle understanding, I love you
but I pull back when you don't get it
I just want to know my place
with or without you
sacred brokenness, my pain causes sadness
and I question
it makes you mad but I was never jealous
until you broke...
looking cheerful but you know...

but I pull back when you don't get it

A Sneetch ( after Theodor [Dr] Seuss Geisel )
There are havettes, and have notettes–
yet in all honesty, without possessions
who can tell the difference?!
They appear the same shape –
male and female alike; O! But wait!
is it a tittle of a title they covet?!
Or, perhaps, in all honesty –
it’s a jealousy thing ; O! Me! Why
clonedingus another Sneetch?
We each have our trinkets – we’re all
born completus; O! Yet, it’s not enough!
Some Sneetches choose to be leeches!
Is it fortune, fame they don’t deserve –
but feel they...
yet in all honesty, without possessions

I BOUGHT A BIKINI (NOT THE ONE BY HER)
I bought a bikini
so you would notice me
when we went to the sea.
Make you think my body,
now out of puberty,
enviably sexy.
Undercut rivalry
of another beauty,
be all you want to see.
How about it, honey?
Is my figure easy
on your eye easily?
so you would notice me
when we went to the sea.
Make you think my body,
now out of puberty,
enviably sexy.
Undercut rivalry
of another beauty,
be all you want to see.
How about it, honey?
Is my figure easy
on your eye easily?

Donald J. Crow
Old Itchy and Scratchy MAGA
needed fifteen minutes of fame
then ten times more for rage and blame
like an Anglo-Saxon saga.
It was fight, fight, fight... fight, fight, fight,
with buckets of blood in the schools,
when those mangy MAGA fools
got another kid in their sight.
I guess it will end when we're dead
since that's what MAGA seems to need
when anger breeds with business greed
in a white supremacist head...
where everything they'll ever know
they mixed with Trump and Old Jim Crow.

Pangs of Jealousy
You like to torture me
Or I like to torture myself
Who would like that?
The mania is something to do
OCD festival of bruised ego
I don't deserve you
You don't deserve me either
We're kinda stuck with each other
Unless we want to buy new vaporizers
Or I like to torture myself
Who would like that?
The mania is something to do
OCD festival of bruised ego
I don't deserve you
You don't deserve me either
We're kinda stuck with each other
Unless we want to buy new vaporizers

An Gel Us
Can you feel it?
The hole ripping apart.
A ring of fire.
Screeching and screaming,
Falling with the stars.
A moon that cracks
Like an egg
It's face so bloody
Is it just a phase?
The night is purple
Just like the rain
The sun is scorching
Brick roads again
Travel by night
Not by day
Find the middle
Of this maze
Angels are jealous
Because they cant escape
Angels are us
So break away...
The hole ripping apart.
A ring of fire.
Screeching and screaming,
Falling with the stars.
A moon that cracks
Like an egg
It's face so bloody
Is it just a phase?
The night is purple
Just like the rain
The sun is scorching
Brick roads again
Travel by night
Not by day
Find the middle
Of this maze
Angels are jealous
Because they cant escape
Angels are us
So break away...

Gambols and Groans
gambol a gambol at the meadow
smelling the tree stumps of mildew
rest supine on year long pine needles
not thinking much life is simple
sheep on narrow path
to the top of the hill
envying watches ticking
tireless unlike puffing goats
there's hope there yet
where heartbeats in rhythms
uphold the tired mortal
not spilled magenta liquid
on roadside
awaiting scrappers
to pick up the squished parts
un-baptised to the graves
smelling the tree stumps of mildew
rest supine on year long pine needles
not thinking much life is simple
sheep on narrow path
to the top of the hill
envying watches ticking
tireless unlike puffing goats
there's hope there yet
where heartbeats in rhythms
uphold the tired mortal
not spilled magenta liquid
on roadside
awaiting scrappers
to pick up the squished parts
un-baptised to the graves

Grandiose Fading Mascara
We all know the weevils who corrupt society
unchained dark adrenaline of a self-portrait
bleeding through the canvas peeling away
narcissistic flesh gaslighting low on self-esteem
making own paint from the blood of humanity
in their obscenity laying a Faberge egg cracked
to the bone of an overzealous plot self-absorbed
in grandiose and fading mascara
unchained dark adrenaline of a self-portrait
bleeding through the canvas peeling away
narcissistic flesh gaslighting low on self-esteem
making own paint from the blood of humanity
in their obscenity laying a Faberge egg cracked
to the bone of an overzealous plot self-absorbed
in grandiose and fading mascara

Open Letter To My YouTube Troll, Originating From DUP
What, your crazy ass, chagrined, because of my natural inspiring beauty
You cannot match the slopes of my breasts or my PHAT booty
Are you bitter of the seductive sashay in my hips
Mm... the honey of my whispered words my lips sensually drip
Educating you all around the depth of your unlearned mind
A rare jewel your intellect will never find
From Earth to speaking about the spirituality of Heaven, my philosophy, my ideology against your wits, not suitable to ever combine
Run circles around your presence time after time ...
You cannot match the slopes of my breasts or my PHAT booty
Are you bitter of the seductive sashay in my hips
Mm... the honey of my whispered words my lips sensually drip
Educating you all around the depth of your unlearned mind

From Earth to speaking about the spirituality of Heaven, my philosophy, my ideology against your wits, not suitable to ever combine

As if that were the case
If you fall in love
who will pick you up then?
If you make love
who will undo it afterwards?
Bang! Bang!
Shooting stars and stray bullets!
The universe sleeps the sleep of angels...
who will pick you up then?
If you make love
who will undo it afterwards?
Bang! Bang!
Shooting stars and stray bullets!
The universe sleeps the sleep of angels...

A challenging Friendly Invitation
My Innermost Enemies
Whether I write or not,
It's always frustrating
To believe that there are among you
Those who hate me so
And yet it's even more disappointing
From these same people
Let them spend their precious time
Care about a mere mortal like me
So I tell you my friends
Be my most intimate enemies
Be strong, but not stupid
Be loyal and fearless
Be fair to me,...
