Stop! Listen! Think! Act!

Stop!

Stop the abuse!

colleagues,
daughters,
girlfriends,
partners,
mothers,
sisters,
nieces,
wives,

all women.

Listen!

Listen to the voices!

the violence,
the abuse,
the rape.

Stop! Listen! Think! Act!

The violence,
the abuse,
the rape,

is perpetrated...

A Billion Soul Mates
By Rick Rucker

I don’t think that there’s one “soul mate,”
No more than there is a “perfect” date.

In searching for a match,
I easily found a glorious catch!

To say I love her, makes me a liar,
She simply set my Heart afire!

When I saw her,...

WHAT BILLION DROPS MAKE

The ocean is made of what
Nothing but the splintered heart
Of cloud in billion drops of water
One making the other bigger
Fused in blue vastness they soar
Riding waves they crash on shore.

The life is made of what
Nothing but the molten heart
Gleaming in billion drops...

We’re the electromagnetic spectrum;
Particles, waves, almost eight billion strong.
To coherent frequencies some belong,
some divided by color through prism.
Varying energies from low to high,
narrowly diffracted photons scatter.
Lacking mass, believing we don’t matter,
Invisible to the unaided eye.

Synchronized, polarized, amplified beams,
collimated waves propagating dreams,
refracted rays bend to reflected...

Today we rise.

No more hiding in the shadows,

of culture,
creed,
tradition.

No more silent complicity,

defensive arguments,
sickening pretences,
shabby excuses,

for the actions of men,

brutal and coarse and vulgar and obscene and murderous and abusive.

Today, we rise,

as one.

Today the change starts,

with me,
within me.

Today we rise....

5 BILLION POOR
5 BILLION POOR FORSOOTH DEMAND,
EQUALITY THROUGHOUT THE LAND,
MORE THAN A MILLION DOLLARS IN THE BANK IS GREED,
MORALITY GETS EVERYONE A FEED,
LETS VOTE ON THIS REFERENDUM,
MORAL QUESTION OF THE DEED,
LETS SHARE ALL OF PIGGIES GREED,

I'm falling, falling, up from my rage!
Words unwound in convoluted strings.
All my thoughts rejected by the page.

I am a lost bird with backward wings.
Trying hard to escape my restraints.
Words unwound in convoluted strings.

I look towards heaven and the saints.
Grasping for answers to set me free.
Trying...

Love for one billion
Marry and then divorce is a bit of a gambling
but the rings can be good business
what does it matter if you're in love
waiting may make a billion....

They meet:
in the gathering of those who matter,
the high and mighty, the big and powerful
a post-conference period to socialize and acquaint,
Suits and gowns, holding half filled glass cups of wine
is the order and uniform of the day so sparkling in colours.
Smiles of welcome, moving lips...

Between a Million and a Billion Morning of Yesterday, There is Only One for Today
 
Those who does not enjoy today maybe there is no more time for them to do it tomorrow, and every mistakes that we have committed for the first time yesterday,...

A Billion Ponds
----------------

I came to the land of a billion ponds
where they said there would be (one day) a million more.
A billion ponds shimmered in sunsets;
lined up purposefully for my delight.

A billion birds or more perished on these ponds
and they made twilight unbearable for me,
these...

The odds of going to a grocery store for a loaf of bread
And coming out with just that, you'd be severely misled
Odds are three billion to one
Your basket will be overrun
With a myriad of other mouth watering items instead...

I am the mother of hundred billion,
Now dumb and ears shut,
Orphaned by my own children,
For whom I bequeathed myself,
I am the Goddess of creation,
The creator of evolution,
Now I stand chained and hand cuffed,
Like a slave begging for clemency,
I am dragged to guillotine by my own...

Another baby born, another bushel of wheat
Another piece of land, for another family to eat

Another net is cast, another fish is caught
Another fire in the forest, another tree sought
Another bird flees, another bird gone
No home for the beast, diversity all gone

Crops in the amazon, Rivers...
