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

Compromise thrown off the table

No redemption without repentance

A Useless Position
Waste of space, waste of money
People laugh but, it's not funny
ALL president's are a piece of shit
Nothing new, we have to deal with it
Circus clowns getting loud
Idiots with devious lies, make us proud!
Anyone could do the job,
Scandals and corruption, lets form a lynch-mob
Too much power, a frightful future
Starting wars for businessmen,
Beg on tv, become a moocher
Killing in the name of greed
Above the law, manipulate by planting the seed
It's just a show, all presidents are a pathetic joke
Everything's controlled by...

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...

She Is...
She said she didn’t dwell too much on the past things
“Resolve the issue and move on
Time is of the essence and if you don’t work the plan
You can easily be left behind”
They’d call her a bitch, a ball buster, all those things
Behind her back
But the truth was whenever she’d flex her knowledge
To get the work done, they just didn’t like it
She has worked longer hours than anyone else
Then go home and be a mother
A teacher
A counselor
A planner
Manager
CEO
CFO
Maintenance and Operations
Therapist ...

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

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 ...

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...

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

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
...
