Tale of Two Citizens

The pair of bi-sexual two-timing women left the duplex, too drunk to board the Twin Cities 2:22 .

Double crossed on the two way street, the duo fled New York, clutching the Tale of Two Cities....

Life sucks
And guess what
It only gets worse
Years of hard work
And bosses you hate
No pension plan

Now Social security check is always late
No medicare 
Or decent housing
Nursing homes when you’re too much to handle
Children doctors straight from college campuses

Brittle bones 
And lose of mind
Uncontrollable bodily functions
Limbs that...

The attitude that means great scare
And birth sufferings we couldn't bear 
Thank God he's sick, we pray he lacks care
Centuries of "didn't care" land us in misery we now wear

We didn't care if the well was not well 
"Grant us a token to dine" the...

They were brought up right so polite
and you can count on them day and night
and their standards and morals exceed the limit
and this world would mean nothing without them in it
and their most wonderful trait and it is worth a million is their unwavering kindness...

Are we good global citizens?
Didn't we sell the world Uranium?
The future is an open book-----
Here's a concept worth a look.
Each of us in a calm place,
One peaceful, equitable human race,
One vast people, maybe café au lait,
One global language, perhaps,
One informal faith, for chicks and chaps,
Billions...

we are living in an age when people would rather cover 
their ass than think about what they say,
when people would rather try to censor the way we speak
than look at the reasons that we say the things that we
do &
kids are getting the full...

Awhile back,
in the Dred Scott decision, 
SCOTUS denied rights of citizenship
to people of color
"as a subordinate
and inferior class of beings,
who had been subjugated
by the dominant race..."

So, we need not dig too deeply
to rediscover where straight white male supremacists
and systemic racist allies
might find our strongest
most toxic...

Why are our Senior Citizens so neglected these days? Is it because they don't care, or is it they don't believe they will be senior citizens one day? Our cities, counties, states, and countries MUST learn to take better care of the senior citizen because...

I have removed these poems for a distant future book publication.
I believe we poets, can make a difference
in this world. We live in the 21st century,
we have tools( technology), we have our past,  and imagination.
We just...

I’ve got no beef with McDonald’s or Jack
‘n the Box weighing down American towns
with greasy sacks in thin hospital gowns.
They’re just a couple of clowns selling crack
to cavalier carnies who’d like fries with that
six thousand calorie corpulent noun
with a large diet Coke to wash it...

Citizens Are

By the numbers, 
1,2,3... count them all you see. 
From here and there and everywhere, 
we are one. 

America. 
The land of plenty. 
But what does that mean? 
There is a story, 
and a truth, 
and freedom on paper... 
that still waves
high above... in...

I know a country,
With three set of citizens,
The rich, 
The well fed slaves,
And the hungry free people.

I know a country,
Where graduates are jobless with buried hopes,
In this country, so many lies told are believed to be the truth,
Religious intolerance and extremism causes discrimination,
And there is...

I
Our cry, silenced.
We watch the murder of our freedoms
Like spectators at a lynching.
Our Twenty-first-century forbearance rubbed out,
Our twentieth-century sensibilities never happened.
High court corruption, 
A misogyny hell-bent on a 19th-century revival.   
In its myopic mendacity,
In its mockery of fundamental democracy,
We all take great comfort...
