The beau idéal of art commemorates Frida Kahlo's
Habitual self-portraits donning Mexican dahlia halos
Worshiped feminist by LGBTQ & Chicano cult artsy
Wife of master mural painter both activists in leftist party
Emerging sex scandal on the "Gaza flotilla": the organizer slept with all the activists. The "key organizer" of the world's most humane flotilla engaged in intimate relations with numerous mission participants right on board. On previous flotillas, Israeli military reported finding an anomalously large number of used and new condoms on the vessels. Was Greta Thunberg among them—we have no clue.
They went to break though sea blockade
Bring light to needy Palestine
A worthy cause when one is jade
A trip of orgy, by design
The amazons of our times
Or rather "dames on the loose"
Accuse Zion of awful crimes
For "noble cause" enjoyed abuse
To screw like there's no tomorrow
Abandon hubbies and proceed
Support Hamas, by moans and sorrow
No doubt, a courageous deed
When yacht becomes a battleground
Heroic act was their protest
Thereafter, all went homeward bound
Tight-lipped about "two bar" test

She was the rain
He was the thunder
And together they were an unstoppable storm
Both activists in their own form
Both doing what they were made for
A duo who held a power that could destroy A system
Meant only to break them
Built to control them
Her voice was fire
Loud and unforgiving
His mind was like ice
Cold and calculated
She was outspoken
She lead the protests
Whilst he wrote the speeches
This was their dynamic
This made the racist world panic
And that's exactly what they wanted
They knew their power
They knew what triggered their envy
They knew the secret to unlock their weakness
And that was their blackness
So together they openly loved themselves
They knew it would cause them to become overwhelmed
Something they couldn't take
So instead they decide to hate
To mask their envy
To repress their inferiority
And replace it with false superiority
To hide their insecurities
For as long as we love our blackness
It will forever be our shield To protect us
From the darkness that lurks within the racists
Who will forever burn in their hatred
And scarred By jealousy
activists lash out
reactionaries glower

What is the future of the Human race
The USA’ is no leader today
Wrecking the natural world -a disgrace
Netanyahu is a war thug forevermore
The mid east war -total insanity
Humans act horrible I do deplore
What is the karma of Humanity ?
Two polar fates for Humans I embrace
Green party politics can save the day
Non Green politics we are dead -I say
What is the future of the Human race ?
Biden listens not to peace activists
Biden’s Vietnam -college protests I relay
The peace activists are not anarchists
The USA’ is no leader today
Humans greed will destroy us I decry
We ruin old growth woods without a trace
Read Bucky Fullers writings I reply
Wrecking the natural world -a disgrace
I have a dream, that one day we will all be well
free from worries, free from sickness, free from fear
Conceiving such a world brings hope, one day
we will all be believers and activists of beauty
in a world that so badly needs the loving hand
of a healer...
I have a dream, that you and I are friends
we mirror each other in perfect harmony
receiving and giving, like incense and gold
We always have more than we need
in a world free of greed, we plant seeds
of goodness, then watch them grow
in our family garden ....
I have a dream, that one day we will hold hands
you and I forming a chain of life, we will stand
unbroken, until the end of time..
Deceiving each other will not be in our future plan
for honesty and transparency will be the venue
we abide by...
I have a dream that our dreams can come true,
if you and I believe, then we can begin anew.
My Personal Opinion

Some radical activists
financed by foreign wealth,
Spread socialistic values
destroying America’s health.
First infiltrate local government
then invade our schools,
Knowing that young minds
are any country’s crown jewels.
Our children are being indoctrinated
at much too early an age,
It continues to happen
despite parental outrage.
They’re being schooled on matters
that should come much later.
Things that shouldn’t be taught
to any eager third grader.
I wonder...
If RightWing Activists
are, thereby,
actively against
Allies of a healthy
cooperative
co-invested
compassionate democracy.
If RightMind disempowered pessimists
lack Win/Win enlightened grace
to feel unconditional warm economies
of politically organic love
in sacred time and space.
If RightHand monotheistic powers
could ever learn
from divine experience
to become more bicamerally
GreenLiberal/RedConservational
co-ecstatic
If Left/Right circling spectral lights
of win/win thriving Egos
worshipping our sacred shared
sexual EcoSystems
become, thereby,
compassionate peace-thriving
intrapersonal repairs
supporting resilient interpersonal partnerships,
resonant teams,
and 7-regeneration sustainable,
multisensory health and safety
communions
unions,
transcendently co-empathic
As when GreenNoise Wonder
grows in nonverbal compassion,
integrity of sacred
Red Holesome
inviting robust Awe.
Teenage yeshiva students from America
'Big Heroes' - 'Land of Israel Nationalists'
All yell 'Death to the Arabs' as they smile for the cameras
A 'real good look' for 'Parents'-skins'-in-the-game activists'
Another year come and gone; another Flag March survived
Its sole achievement, stoking ultra-nationalistic pride
Next to the sea of blue-and-white flags burns white-hot terror
Ready to avenge insults directed at ~
Palestinian flag standard-bearers
____________________________________________________
The Flag March was originally meant to commemorate the capture
of East Jerusalem and the reunification of Jerusalem during the
1967 ('Six-Day') War. What it's become now is, in my opinion, a
gross perversion of its original message of 'Unification.'
Artistic expressions are not always appreciated
Such is the case with graffiti
Which can often be seen on public transportation
Causing frowns of consternation
It can be seen on buses and trains
Even on bridges, graffiti remains
It's sprayed on buildings and walls
A way for the artist to leave his calling card
But is it vandalism or art?
Or a way for gangs with a message to impart
Political activists use this art form too
To cleary state their point of view

In 1963, Martin Luther King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech.
What he asked for should not have been a far reach.
Dr. King was rather unique
And boy did he like to speak
He spoke on equality and racism
And spread his message through activism
He was one of the most prominent activists during the Civil Rights Movement.
He was hoping for enlightenment
He led nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience
Based on his years of experience
Dr. King was against discrimination and Jim Crow laws
They didn’t align with his cause
For this, the FBI deemed him a radical
That just wasn’t practical
He won a Nobel Peace Prize for combatting racial inequality
A major step for civil rights in American polity
In 1968, Martin Luther King met his demise
His assassination led some to theorize
Would he be surprised to how little we have come
Or would he be thankful for improving equality some
BREEDS OF LATE LEGENDS
The soul of Bob Marley -
Tap it from the Caribbean reggae.
The ambition of Tupac Shakur -
Immortalize a generational legacy.
The mind of Malcom X -
A monument for all world's activists.
The dream of Martin Luther King -
Still holds the world's ear ransom.
The heroics of Nelson Mandela -
Voyage from apartheid to multiracial democracy.
The greatness of Muhammad Ali -
"Floats like a butterfly & Sting like a bee".
The world need not these monstrous men mountains
But most needing of a breed of our late legends.

President Joseph Biden signing Juneteenth Bill
*
I
want to
wish you a
Happy Birthday
In less than two years
you ended the war in Afghanistan.
Substantial military aid for Ukraine,
Stimulus Package American Rescue Act,
Funding the Police—The Investment to Protect
and Reform Act-budget plan increases cementing
his party’s turn away from the anti-police rhetoric and policies
lawmakers and activists embraced after the murder of George Floyd
two years ago. Biden’s first two years, among the most productive
of any president in the past half
century.
Thank
you!
Hearts in the right place with heads in the mist,
shouting your message to those shaking fists,
thinking you’re right so no wrongdoing exists,
behaviour that’s found in ignorant bliss.
Forcing on yourselves a reaction of hatred,
growing the anger in those left frustrated,
taking the focus from the message that’s stated,
when you’re right but do wrong you’ll be left isolated
Don’t ruin artwork, don’t sit on the roads,
the darkness never enlightens or glows,
you won’t be excused by what you expose,
wanting support but creating the woes.
Climate change activists nobody hears,
thinking you’re wise beyond your own years,
but you’re not very nice the way it appears,
you can be right and still fall on deaf ears.
What you say doesn’t justify the things you do,
the more you disrupt the more will hate you,
knowledge you have cancelled as you’ve no clue,
that doing it wrong stops right coming true.
All of your knowledge came from my generation,
so here’s some more knowledge from my generation,
no good will come when you cause devastation,
show some respect in your next demonstration!
Jesse Duarte
Muslim South African
Dead just before age 68
Best known as antiracism fighter
Along with Mandela
That generation is dead, it's over
Self-serving "ANC activists & comrades" remain
To steal and blame (minorities)
II
Jesse was eloquent; loyal leader & 'spokesman'
"Diminutive woman;" Dedicated warrior
Never about herself
She died today
Will be buried today
Now, her religion shows
