Humanity Is Dead
There are dark elements
in the humanity died and ends
in a silver palace of lights
in secrecy of hearts.

Love is a means forward
takes a person in a journey onward
Feeling the legacy of colonials
the colonized changing hearts.

Comes in a different crafts
Gone without looking back
But the trace is marked...

A popular priest in 1810, Spanish rule he spoke against
those who had overthrown the Spanish Viceroy José de Iturrigaray
A speech calling upon the people to protect in angst
Their King Ferdinand VII was held captive El Rey
Hidalgo rung the bell on the morning of the 16th...

Premium Member Great Little England
skinny island rump
  highway seas churning the horizon under turbulent skies
  entity England
  migration waves still grounding along the continental shelf
  monarchs, priests and lords
  relaunching history and hope, the truth of reassuring lies
  kingdoms to union

Universal Education
Universal Education,

It’s no secret it’s no surprise that no one degree is set equal,

My question if money is universal and cash is on hand,

When money come digitally could one be forgiving of the debt ceiling,

I’ m no astronaut freedom above the land similar among quick...

Biography (Them)
When you are young your life is not about you
You it owe to them for love, for sacrifice and rent
Youth is the margin of our parents ever do
The young know their life only by old consent

Premium Member Zulu
The tribe of tribes of South Africa
Lead by their king Shaka
1816 they formed their state
As they head into history
What be their fate
 
British Conflict, internal rife
13 kinglets loss of life
Rorke's Drift 1879
Mission manned, all was fine
 
British soldiers, African colonials
Squared up to the Zulu swell
Attack...

Stupid Like a Fox
I've got something wrapped 
around my finger
It's to remember my phones tapped
and to be wary of the stranger wanting only to linger

I've got a penny
for my thoughts
It's for the boatman
when they silence my opposing thoughts

I wish I could fly
off to Dublin
And free myself from the...

London Poetry Olympics
Litter London with latent suicidal tongues
Olympian words rise to claim the covet of crown
National pride perhaps, to hear the dialect sings
Diminished not again by that foreign fang of words
Once strangling memory of native speech.
Nation language everywhere now dancing

Poetry can speak in any voice the same...

To Win By Losing, Or the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, Part I
General Cornwallis of Great Britain
faced a problem that he couldn’t resolve,
he’d won at Camden, they’d captured Charlestown,
but still the southern colonies wouldn’t fall.

Instead he faced a string of reverses,
lost at King’s Mountain and then at Cowpens,
and couldn’t stop the rebel irregulars,
like the damn Swamp Fox...

Premium Member State of Independence
Arise children, and witness a new dawn is breaking.
The bright eastern sun rises.  It’s time for awaking.
We now tread upon our land in newly found freedom.
Yesterday’s yoke of encumbrance was a conundrum.
We climb the mountains and cross the rivers of our own.
No longer are...

Like the lions, we form a massive pride.
We can step forward, and take a long stride.
Behold a brighter sun rising in the east.
The colonials’ rule over our land has ceased.
Their laws governing us have been forced to rescind.
See our new flag waving steadily in the...

Bookshelf Breakout
The ancient cracking bookcase stuttered
Books trembled upon the shelves,
Then scattering across the rug bound floor
Where they took up new residence.

Those left in the bookshelf
started to rock back and forth
hoping to join the colonials on the floor....
