Raphium Series~thug hard soldiers
I'm coming unfurled feel me in the energy
riding the waves in the land of confusion
bringing my A-game thug hard watch your lady throw down
got the mean streets flowing through me
don't expect me. to live the pampered life of a misery Queen now
societal niceties know nothing about being me
me and my man we have an understanding
mess with that you'll be messing with a cruel viper
casting my magics on the winds
blindly, yes how I learned it
I'm a dark artist by nature
but I command the light just as easily

Raphium Series~The Oath
my Raphiums are out to play
all outlaws buckle up for a wild ride
no longer under the cover of darkness
wild-eyed and in a rage your Mother enters the stage
spinning on a cloud of wrath she displays power
wake up and cast some loyalty or be laid to waste
this is some down-home voodoo
I'm playing for keeps
warriors of old step up. lay your cards on the table
represent truth in all you do
manifest the oaths you've sworn to
I'm hurting I lick my wounds openly
but make no mistake I'm up for war
the first magic is in the...

I'm just a dog to be buried with its fur
A good for nothing person on the face of the Earth
This world won't cry for my absence
It has forgotten me long ago.
Fate has it every living thing dies alone.
I'll never know a heart or a place to call home.
Nowhere to go, no place to call my home.
My only friend is the man on the moon
And sometimes he goes away too.
No cat, no dog to call my own.
I'm done with chasing dreams of hope.

Rawina Finds Hope - Rewrite
Rawina Finds Hope
Her family had scattered to the four winds after their village became a smoking ruin. So she wandered the desert in a daze. At the age of twenty when most are just starting off in life, she was a refugee. Finally, Rawina found herself more chaperoned than captured by the strangest soldier in an ISIS uniform. He opened the door for her as though he was a gentleman. He said, “Good afternoon. May I take you out for a bite to eat?” It was like he was escorting her on a date.
Rawina replies, “Thank you for the offer. However, my lunch date is just late. He...

the Rise and Fall of Kingdom Come
streets of old, streets of gold
warriors come forth
ride the night right wrongs
the eye in the sky is watching
you have a Mother ably backed
veiling your presence
you won't be detected
subversives can not infiltrate
safe guards are in place
the very stars in the sky bear witness
the flowers in the field carry truth
I'm broadcasting on all stations
they will only translate fear
trembling in their mansions
the graves testify against them
crimes against humanity
the strongest metal...

Battle Ready
Life's a war so prepare for the battle
It begins once you can shake a rattle
Being chattel for those who write on a page
Until you awaken & become filled with rage
Burning sage is said to dispel negative energy
And the evil thoughts of reacting vengefully
Healing thee & providing some needed peace
Even though the war hasn't come to a cease
The beast changed sheets & now wears uniforms
Forcing their will on all those who won't conform
Causing storms in homes without repercussions
Smashing domes with...

Lineal Descent
We are our Bubbies'
granddaughters—
tribal survivors
Never again
will we be imprisoned—
beaten, owned, or raped
But, fight to the death
for our God-given right—
to live as women

But Why?
But why do people go to war?
Is what my Joey said to me.
It was a question perfect for
When I was walking by the sea.
I was alone to contemplate
But why do people go to war?.
My son inside to patient wait
Five years ago when he was born.
His dad had fallen on the shore,
The cry of gulls as battle raged.
But why do people go to war?
There was no marker for a grave.
I knelt to pray and told my son
Just what his dad had said before
He left “to fight for everyone”.
But why do people go to war?

The Poppies Grow
A hundred years ago.
Under skies so foreign to you all.
Who could have known?
That so many would heed the call.
I hear your names.
And pray for your souls beyond the fold.
The most dangerous game.
Mankind has got to learn before we’re too old.
Brave men of my country.
You pass the torch to me.
The poppies grow.
In Flanders Fields where men did die.
And row on row.
The crosses planted side by side.
The seeds we sow.
Grow in the dark to shine a light.
The poem echoes.
Those words again into...

Victimize
Can't walk away
Your life is now for hire
Dress it up and turn it around
Should've left it alone
Stripped away
Your body is property
Abused by anyone we choose
It's what you deserve
Loose skin how it pulls
But suddenly
This is all you receive
Under siege by forces unseen
Hide your eyes
You kill until it's bled out
Any trace of what you used to be
Malevolent mother
School of birds and choirs
Fingerprint a warning
Trust in no one
Born in blood ...
