Power-Trip
Fragile souls remain terrified here
In a world that spits them out
While the reason isn't quite clear
Growing numb with serious doubt
Compromise thrown off the table
When greed is in constant play
Force fed another curious fable
Savage beings formed from clay
Persistence fueled by acceptance
Sinners living on borrowed time
No redemption without repentance
Choreographed in old pantomime
Secret meeting behind the door
Wealthy men bonding in hatred
Carving flesh on the killing floor
For the power they...
In a world that spits them out
While the reason isn't quite clear
Growing numb with serious doubt
Compromise thrown off the table
When greed is in constant play
Force fed another curious fable
Savage beings formed from clay
Persistence fueled by acceptance
Sinners living on borrowed time
No redemption without repentance
Choreographed in old pantomime

Wealthy men bonding in hatred

I'll Play That Fiddle For You
As odd as it may seem
This reality is only a dream
Like millions of insects freezing to death
Sociopath is my mathematics
The final answer is zero
C'mon, you'd love to be the superhero
The processed foods of your labors
Have decayed into disease
And the sweat you are dripping
Is the milk you consume with ease
Pick the peddles off of my flower
I'll reveal the lies you told during the last hour
Your passion is sour
My control is power
This reality is only a dream
Like millions of insects freezing to death
Sociopath is my mathematics
The final answer is zero
C'mon, you'd love to be the superhero
The processed foods of your labors
Have decayed into disease
And the sweat you are dripping
Is the milk you consume with ease
Pick the peddles off of my flower
I'll reveal the lies you told during the last hour
Your passion is sour
My control is power

bra strap
the devil in me wears blue
he dresses in prison coveralls
because he feels like a prisoner
walking around in my shoes
he sulks in the background
to be sentenced so harshly
hell has nothing on being Brenda
he hates and loves me both
curses me quietly
through gritted teeth
as I teach him lessons in humanity
what it is to be a human woman
an indignity that he can't bare
I tell him only the fiercest warriors
volunteered for this tour
as female
we pull...

Liminal Spaces
In these times of uncertainty
we seek a way to proceed
through saturated fear and grief
This juncture in history
is daunting, an experience
of crossroads and liminality—
the dying gasps of patriarchy
surrendering to a paradigm shift
still wobbly on its feet
The Age of Aquarius;
a loving agitator
against the dulling down
of Divine Feminine grace
~

unmeasured & incalculable
do not think to measure her worth
based solely on her topography
the length & breadth of her geography
such values mean little
or nothing
compared to her incomparable depths
think not to judge by her surface structure
it pales to a mere glimmer
next to the incandescent shimmer
burning within her
she radiates potential
exudes power & strength
give her room
and she'll remake worlds
with her personal fire
yours included
if you let her
but never let it be said
she is the weaker sex
...

Rigmaroles
he's the example
of whatsit to me
shitty solipsist
cocky pismire
a skullduggery
asshat with his
gelastic jalopy
quite bourgois
don't you think
flaccid britches
always down for
a lousy attempt
at shenanigans
-accismus style-
so gallivant chick
parades with your
hood wink dick &
egregious ways
as you fake your
brouhaha smiles
& flummoxed flare
your silly rigmaroles
won't get you anywhere

WHEN IT'S OVER
Here we are going through the process of voting, for what we believe is in our best interest of our lives. But yet it's here and now that, we shall be face with the unknown of haunted, memories of the last few years of voting. 🤨 For sure as our votes are being counted we can't help, but wonder about the true outcome of this election, of good verse evil that never has been proven to be fair. 😠 For as we wait for the results of this election, let's keep in mind one party always finds it's necessary to cheat. 🤨 LIKE children's in the park having a race to see who, will be...

Mobster Republic
It's inconvenient to follow rules
when getting ahead is all that you want
and not a feeling of guilt which will haunt
like it does to morality fools
who aren't really trying if they don't cheat
or use a loophole like the lawyers do
keeping rights for just them and not for you
by twisting a law into a deceit
well covered by amendment number five
when they know that telling the truth will hurt
if perjury and proof might contravert
your testimony as more gangster jive...
and we can't have that when there's crime to do ...

Battles
In the realm of the ephemeral, where time is a whisper,
pills fall like rain, promises of pure relief.
Capsules of hope, swallowed with a dry sip,
in search of a cure in an almost echoless world.
Drills hum, in a constant and strong rhythm,
piercing matter, defying the cut of luck.
They spin in spirals like dances of power,
creating and destroying without ever fading.
And on the horizon, Ragnarok announces itself,
with trumpets and fury the prophecy begins.
Gods and men of intertwined destiny
in an epic encounter the end is...
pills fall like rain, promises of pure relief.
Capsules of hope, swallowed with a dry sip,
in search of a cure in an almost echoless world.
Drills hum, in a constant and strong rhythm,
piercing matter, defying the cut of luck.
They spin in spirals like dances of power,
creating and destroying without ever fading.
And on the horizon, Ragnarok announces itself,
with trumpets and fury the prophecy begins.
Gods and men of intertwined destiny
in an epic encounter the end is...
