Native American Boarding Schools
shocked, as hair cut short
buckskins burned
praying, 
in the darkness for rescue
all our gods forsaking us

pics of Him in pain
Teacher demanded belief
after all
somehow
died for our sins

what is sin?
A bright girl asks
later teach replies

now forgetting gods
of earth and fire 
and dressed up in 
lies of white man

kind...

You Are the Pilot For Boarding School Students
YOU ARE THE PILOT   (for boarding school students)

You need not wear a veil of pain
If you are perfect and prompt
For your prep all time.

You need not begin your day
With ordeal and agony
If you’re uniform is identical
With poignantly tucked in shirts
You need not begin...

Boarding School
When I recall the good old days at school,
I marvel our mood at the times we stood,
Sometimes at noon, in line or loop, 
Or simply too, be part of the brood

Indeed for food, we'd be in a jolly mood,
Hailing a croon with plate, fork and...

Boarding School
Wipe that smile off your face boy
What have you got to he happy about 
Are you simple child?

No Sir
I am leaving
And I am simply expressing 

Joy 
Because what I have been taught 
Is to Rebel is to Annoy 

Farewell 
I survived Hell...

Spring Break At An All-Girls Boarding School
Weekend days shining
Loud music pounding
Cards flying around
head pounding with noise
big dog runs around

when can I sleep?
Their shaking heads
bring tears to eyes
wails raise upward

dreams of sleep
answer: no
I will cry

So tired
please sleep

snooze

"no More" the Revolution of a Boarding School
I think they would agree
No shown sympathy
Destruction slips through bloody teeth
Holes where hearts are supposed to be
And I need to breath

But the hand is on my throat
Musical reservations of my real anger
Keep sanity’s cries heard
In hot ears

Control is lost
Black blood boils
In veins 
With every intention...

Boarding the Middle Passage
Suntanned fields tower along your breast.
Rusty gripping whips rip ripened veins.
Dancing black silhouette, shipped to the west,
In a barbed necklace of embroidered chains.

Singing in patois, you yield by wrest.
Like moribund gales your spirit wanes.
Suntanned fields tower along your breast.
Rusty gripping whips rip ripened veins.

Babe takes...

On Boarding Pass
The well-trained heart
Enters the departing station
With measured steps,

Boards the best car
For the most comfortable
Ride possible,

So that the jerking engine
And tracks
Barely jolt it.

As it chugs along at an
Even pace until arriving in a
Timely manner --

Even good hearts get railroaded.

When we started our training
We were doomed from...

Meet each day well with cheer and joy,
Yield to the light that shows the way.
Begin and dwell on happy ploys,
Opt for insight as calmness stays;
Arrive with zest that funds sure start,
Reach for wise peace that heaps fine moods;
Depart for quest with steadfast heart,
Intuit with ease...

Boarding Plane of Existence
Reflection in your eyes see a gypsy soul 

 body is near spirit roaming free

 the pisces N my hrt feeling what eyes can no longer see

Wondering what life is supposed to be 

 traveling holding memories of all faces&places

Follow the map getting lost

BOARDERING PASS....

When will this longing &  missing ever end? 
we just barely said hello now its time for goodbye again
I could spend 24/7 my Life HANGING as TWO
 I want to do EVERYTHING & nothing as long as it's with YOU
You've carved your name...

Surf Boarding In Life
If you have clouds on your horizon
that means you have the sun over head 
If you have troubles now
treat them like snow flakes on a summers day
then just watch them melt away 
if you have a mountain to climb
take that first step
and if the only...

Boarding Lost Ships Into Vast Unknown Seas

Taking lost ships into vast, unknown seas
sadly, with dark black sails set to full mast;
sailing forth despite many urgent pleas
to hold onto precious memories past.

Gone, heartfelt treasures one holds deep and dear
like wisps of smoke in a swirling whirlwind;
struggling...

I Am Going Crazy
I can't expect to wake up everyday and do something I hate before I'm even part of the rat race. 

How am I expected to cope with that as a human child....not a that human being. 

Say it's expected that you fall prey to the...
