Candace Queen a light in a dark world
oppression is real
you can feel the weight of it on your soul
some bear the pain of this day and out
they walk on like soldiers
fighting a war most people don't see
poverty teaches you how to be grateful
for the most basic things
like a bed to sleep in
or food to eat
warm clothes
some go into battle without any of these things
these warriors navigate the world fiercely
that their souls can war with these demons
is nothing short of amazing to me
I was in the city only three days
a concrete hell...

We fiddle while Rome Burns.
The fires that ravaged LA,the bombs that levelled Gaza,the inequality that sits on your doorstep.All caused by the same thing.
YOU.
Deny it if you like.
BUT
The three TVs or the three cars you have were fuel for the fires.
The well appointed home you live in was stolen from the man asleep on your door step.
The bombs falling in foreign lands paid for by your taxes.
GREED
OVERCONSUMPTION
What would you actually do to save the planet?Save another human being?
Doing NOTHING is so easy....

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
When is enough is a enough of the genuine lies, without the truth to navigate through the process of the lies.
🤨 For when is it enough when you continue, to stand by the Democrats and the demographics, of the false propaganda feeding you more lies. For sure when is enough that you finally learn how to use, your own thoughts and insight and mind. To find out for yourself really the TRUTH, just by DOING your Research in the archives. Section of your OWN Google app just by writing a NAME ?? FOR example of any anyone whoever, was into politics, from when they first started to up to...

Conservatism and populism
are stupid in simultaneity
like double down loads of bumpkin jism
or Monsanto homogeneity.
Yet this is what the MAGA yokel wants
just to claim victory to be their own
in trite double down loads of tweets and taunts
no ethical mind would ever condone;
a bitter win that the ages have seen
as loss in every facet of the act
whereby the venting of a pent-up spleen
would sacrifice every established fact
which would give everyone the hope they need
to overcome the injustice decreed.

Beauty
I'm a beautiful girl
In a fucked up world
I'm a treasure amongst meaningless shit
I'm a truth in a whole
I live without soul
Trust me, I'm broken
I'm chipping away.
I'm a beautiful girl
I'm perfection to a tee
I'm blown in a blast of jealousy
I have a lesser troubling me
I'm a mind in a box
I'm selfish, I'm a fox
The people around me
Gather with squinty eyes
I'm a beautiful girl
I'm a fading gem being chipped away
I'm lost in a paradigm
Gold for a superficial mind
I'm...

motives matter
it seems to me
the only reason to ban history
is an intent
to re-inhabit it
bury the truth
making it more unrecognizable
when what was
& should never have been
becomes reality
again

Cinder Trail
Tough as a chastity cast iron scinth...
The reaper, always the reaper.
"Now I'm walking alone on the cinder trail."
Forget the cut deep in your flesh.
Face the night as it was a flash.
"Now you're walking alone on the cinder trail."
Shoot down your loose phantoms...
The king is dead and there's no other.
"Now we're walking alone on the cinder trail."
The reaper, always the reaper.
"Now I'm walking alone on the cinder trail."
Forget the cut deep in your flesh.
Face the night as it was a flash.
"Now you're walking alone on the cinder trail."
Shoot down your loose phantoms...
The king is dead and there's no other.
"Now we're walking alone on the cinder trail."

GIANTS
Greed drives those in power hungry for more
Taking away from those who have less
Lobbying because they want to rule the world
And in the process stunting any forward progress
And they linger, like titans muscling the weak
With a lust that can never be satisfied
An avarice that is unyielding and building
A society with a great divide
But behold, there comes a warrior
A champion who will take up the fight
And they will change the course of history
The tipping point when the moment is right
It’s the old story of David...

it is better that any
society fearing spirited
debate and asking serious
questions without being
shouted down or
canceled
should return to the
darkness of the cave
and solve their differences
with pointy sticks, stones and
clubs
history...
the ever expanding
circle of diminishing
returns

unfortunate
my name’s smith, he said,
which they assumed was
an alias, but which
unfortunately wasn’t, since
they hanged him, thinking
he was somebody else
entirely, and thus he
ended up entirely dead

Mayan Spring
Mayan Spring
Taavi is embraced by the steam heat of thermal water shooting from a hot spring over the cliff and into the pool he stands in. A rainbow graces the mist from the cascade that pelts him. The colors are a sign of Ixchel the Mayan goddess of love whose name in hieroglyphics is Chak Chel or ‘large rainbow.’
The risk of getting caught in the swell of tropic desire makes him step out of geyser rain. But the rainbow goddess summons him back and again he feels her pour liquid sunshine upon his rise toward heaven.
The society of women bathers convenes with...
