Best Cages Poems

Parental desperation
is the dreadful flee bidden cause
Children separation
is the inhumane quarantine effect

Trying to cross the sovereign divide
is narrow mindedly viewed, by more than a few,
as a pestilent travel venture
Ill will is the chilling, unhealthy reception

The uncivil solution: Create an insane policy
for poor souls seeking asylum
Man-made...

The man who puts kids in cages
Laughs at the folks it enrages
Whilst taxpayers bleed
Republicans need

In Life we were free
As free as Birds
We could fly around and do as we please
We could touch the skies and walk on moons
We held Life in our hands
And cherished it until the ends
Now a fatal virus flows through our lives
It knocks over all possibilities...

Rattling Others Cages

Suppose what you said, I were to renounce
Would on my person you start to pounce
And again another game begin to play
Which was called, "Trying to Get Own Way."

Actually, accordingly to my latest prediction
You surely will have produced much friction
And projected to end up...

Splash! 
Down for another dive
But wait!
What is this?
No fish?
No turtles?
No sea life?
Just plastics
Plastics and dead coral!
Our oceans destoryed
My lifelong hobby gone. 
Sea creatures kept behind glass 
where grubby fat hands tap at them 
staring with widened gazes
Sadness is not a strong enough word 
Not strong...

CAGES

trapped in  
apparent spaces
power
extinguished
bird in a
forgotten
tree

building cages
safety nests
apparent
circumstances
placing bets 
on novel lives  
sunken 
and clean

stuck in barb wire snares
itch itch itch
the language is
obscene
headbound in
freakish Atlantic
sea

locked by tyranny
mocked by the masses
little children
little Jews
silver teeth
take away their shoes
the statue you see
is fake
Trumpets hide not
the fading of liberty


The kindest of souls
is ok
shout


above the showers

Cages of Angels



Have you hungered enough
As you lay bereft of sleep
The changing seconds in dead red digital light
Stare you blankly into thoughts
Seeping from your pours like tears

Afraid to close your eyes
Shutter your lids into another night
And hear the loveless breathing beside you

The long and mundane...

Once, there was a boy who loved animals,
every kind of animal,
it didn't matter; he loved them all!
He had rabbits, pigeons, hamsters, and a raccoon.

The boy kept them well-fed,
cleaned their cages every day
and was sure they were happy;
so that made him happy, too.

One day, he was...

BIRDS WITHOUT CAGES

Jubilation of an early morning Spring choir

Free birds perched upon budding branches
Clothed in the creator’s best feathers
Preparing nests to cosset their eggs

Tree roots are deep and strong
Choice finches, robins, and jays in synch
Confident in their praise of dawn

Sounds of early morning song awaken

My...

I stopped what I was doing.  I got very still, and I breathed like I do when I hear noise
outside my room at night.  
I listened to my poem.  
It told me to stop expecting, stop thinking 
and just be there for...

Many kittens are brought here,
Each month, and all through the year
Living in small, cramped cages,
Some are too small for their ages
Their owners should feel really bad,
Because their pets are way too sad

They're so cute, and full of love,
And have nothing to be ashamed of
If they...

White picket fence surrounds the perfect house
keeping the perfect life inside and intruders out.
White collar job surrounds you every day
keeping the money coming in and play time out.
White crisp clothes surround your body and soul
keeping the correct appearance on the outside.
White French doors surround the...

Man seems most adept
when building His cages – 
the farmer, his barns,
the banker, his vaults,
the priest, his coop of

Christ offers all freedom
of the Cross~ but few 
will disrobe
come out
and be pierced – 

Convinced cleansing by 
the blood of another – such
Truth a physical cage –...

In my country, gangs of fiends own the night.
In my country, we lived broken lives of torment.
My family fled with little but our naked terror.
Bleeding and blistered, our feet carried us hundreds of miles.
But I always had my familia. 

We migrated in trucks, never sure
we...
