Don’t tell me change is impossible. I’ve done the math. 3,000 people. $10 a week. That’s $30,000 every week. Invest it wisely, even at 3.25%. That amounts to $1.6 million per year. Enough to start a small business annually. Enough to buy homes outright. Enough to give dignity without debt. And if thousands of groups did this? Poverty wouldn’t need handouts. Governments wouldn’t bleed through welfare. Education, health,...

Now she's unconscious Right in my bedroom She drank to stupor The DJ overwhelmed her I have no clue, what to do I've poured her water But she wants a kiss She said; my kisses is the water of...

I've seen it all Very crystal clear How people Judge and condemn What they don't understand or can't control. I've seen it all Without a blurry vision How people spit at you When you hit the rock bottom. I've seen it all The support is small When you're building But very massive When you start winning. I've seen it all I keep contemplating...

If you could read my mind it would be more difficult for me to escape I have the craftiest plan but it will not work if you do read my mind I am a ghost here, you have taken all of my blood Bloodless, friendless and alone, I ponder my fate Do I have enough energy left to make a break...

Men in tailored suits and satin waistcoats, gold watches peeking out of their pockets, walked arm in arm with women in wide skirts ~ hooped, crinolined, elegantly sculpted. Their tight corsets tease each careful traipse, leaving traces of elegance and opulence... dotting the streets at Christmastime with exaggerated silhouettes. They kissed under mistletoe ~ hung in doorways, each kiss claiming a berry until none were...

There are voices all around us Not loud, not obvious, But aching to be heard. Within this poem lies three unheard stories Three souls, each silenced by society A woman who smiles in fear. A boy punished for love. And a girl whose dreams shrink in the shadows. Their pain is different, But their silence is the same. This poem is for them For the unheard,...

When you don't see love, Just go to the sea. Make the sea breeze As your love letter, To send your love for free. The sea is vast as ocean So as love is simple, Yet so unfathomable. The heart is one foot In between your head, Yet so far at a distance, So deeply felt unrestrained. The mind is green when tame While heart is red in...

As the smoke favors consume, It's like life how the story goes From birth to its maturity show. Going forward written as will, Like history unfold its all done, Read every pages up to the end. Retold its content to every...

The wind stood still, the stars held breath, Two voices rose in life and death. One whispered start, one thundered close, Each pulled the soul where no one knows. Beginning sang with morning light: "Come rise with me, embrace the fight. Your dreams are seeds; they’ve just been sown— Why fear the path you’ve never known?" End replied in velvet tone: "But peace is...

(“Eye of God”, 2018, original encaustic mixed media) The Harsh Reality of Truth The harsh reality Is people get what they deserve, But it can be confusing ‘Cause you don’t always know If it was for something you know you’ve done Of something you did long ago In a different life, body, time and place. In the end Sooner or later The equation of Life Works...
