You're the weapon of choice.
You're invisible in the rain.
My enemies better duck fast,
If they want to keep their brains.
You're supersonic.
You're a siren shrieking.
Fidget spinner in flight.
Intimidating and defeating.
All my enemies, they hide.
Because they think you're insane.
You put their minds out of focus.
Riding the jet streams.
All they see is the glare,
From an object unseen.
You hide in the air.
So fresh and clean.
You're the weapon I sharpen.
Working together as one. ...

I Pity
Both sides killing each other
They both deserve to die
Since both do not bother
To stop and wonder why
Why is blood spilled each day
For handful meaningless sands
When killing can stop today
And extend peaceful hands
They kill in the name of Right
Blind in the nature of Gods
Thinking they know the light
An illusional psychotic frauds
Any such god would denounce
What is in his name is done
Yet they kill and announce
What they did is for the...

Like I Do
I wonder if German sympathizers
ones who risked their lives
to hide Jews
felt like I do now
watching history
circle back 'round
Did compassionate colonials
feel the same
toward Native Americans
my sacred ancestors
Or benevolent individuals
for the LGBTQ+ community
with a mind wise enough
to know we don't choose
who we Love
because Love is Love
and leads only the worthy
feel like I do
Those who are different
in race, heritage
and religious...

Sprawled in Summertime Oils
The beautiful regret of whiteness
shallow snow of summer falls, still
Breeze tastes the warmth between her thighs
liminal lovers will come to her tonight, perhaps
Slant of wind splays curtains above the room’s waist
sun’s teeth chatter secrets into her mouth, red
As if the sky wasn’t enough
priapic columns are mere chalk, waiting
An urban concrete contemplation of minds travelling
heaps city blocks upon empty streets, fleeting
Harbour of her eyes are pearled
by sight of artillery fire, distant

Estivating
(sixteen of 30 - Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2020)
Are all the conflagrations around the world
taking a break
taking some time off
taking a vacation
(on holiday)
taking their leave?
[ or ]
Keeping statistics
Making graphs
Tallying the numbers
more interesting
more profitable
than death by ballistics?
If I was into conspiracy theories,
I’d be thinking companies like
Proctor & Gamble
needed more. . .
&
less media time.

Awake
Uncertain in the distance sounds the trumpeter
Summons to shadow war calling
The Praetorian guard plays king maker
The Republic has fallen
Failed assassinations, and palace coups
A royal game of thrones
The captain of the Pretorian guard is removed
Kabuki theater honed
Knife fighting deep in the heart of darkness
A more civil war brings
Lies, deceit, betrayal, and all the people said
The king is dead, long live the king
And yet, who shall that king be...
Change swirls hot in the air

New life growing within
spawn for a crawling apocalypse
there's nowhere to hide

Declaring a war you can't win.
I am your cargo.
As you embark on a crazy mission.
To invade me in every way.
Your pen is full of blood.
I never wear a hard hat.
So you give me a concussion.
This headache I need so much.
Getting laid by your words.
Intuitively feeling me.
Patrolling my perimeters.
This subliminal invasion.
Feelings lingering.
You are dying to shoot in me.
Declaring a war you can't win.
There is only one side, mine.
And you will realize that soon.

Asshole Gods
if your church
is an open-minded welcoming community
That understands the US Constitution
is not a religious decree
if you welcome LBGTQ members
don't cherry pick the bible
practice compassion and kindness
-even to those different from you-
you likely worship a benevolent god
and that's awesome
however
if you don't care how many school children die
to uphold your 2nd amendment rights
if you spout absurdly ill-considered cliches
like 'guns don't kill people'
when the 20 million assault rifles in america ...

Hamas did a terrible thing
but to do something worse
