You can take away my right to freedom of speech
You can take away my right to pray in public
You can take away my citizenship
You can monitor my internet
You can keep track of the books I read
You can take my...

Having discussed it with many elementary educators
Critical Race Theory is NOT being taught in our schools
C.R.T. is buzzword used by right-wing radical agitators
Who are preaching Christian nationalism as its goal.

No elementary school child could understand the C.R.T.
Its tenets are debated at the highest levels of...

There are countless ways
to see, judge, and act;
like in theology or other disciplines
where values and concerns
reflect the right meaning.

As Christians committed to life
a great taste for relationship
becomes the centerpiece,
the priority in a journey.

It’s in this context though,
that human relationship matters
where there’s a sharing of life,

How to tell the other half
How to tell the kids
How to tell family, friends
This hell that I've been bid

How to say it's cancer
How to tell I'm scared
How to be there for them
I'm really not prepared

How to tell what they think
How to ask for their help...

I hope you don't find this intrusive,
Or forward in any way,
Where are you, Rico?
Are you on Holiday?

I hope you are on Holiday,
And trying to give your brain a rest
Writing so many fab limericks,
It must be a cranial test.

Maybe, you are tired,
I hope you are not...

Modernism 
Has its roots penetrated deeply into 
Barbarism, 
Or still unfathomable depths. 
  
So is History, 
Lamenting over man’s destiny 
Of blooms with  pollens venomous. 
  
Wonder 
Flashes within, how  has One squeezed 
The massive essence of mountainous misgivings 
 And...

Defying gravity, I stand paralyzed on this wall day in and day out. Although my 
friends and I spend time together in the forest, I feel ensnared like a mouse in a 
trap. What makes me any different than a mouse caught in a trap...

Grassy plains and fields were blanketed by tar
Paved parking lots for vacant malls take their toll
Abuse of resources was taken too far
Ash spews from volcanoes, earthquakes on a roll

Brisk breezes bring relief; sultry, summer days
Be grateful as gentle gusts grace our land
When hurricane winds whip...

Bipolar Brain

Or will it force you to remain.
Locked up inside 
Like a prisoner on death row
Barred in like somebody we used to know.

Prison wouldn't be so bad to me,
If I was wasn't already locked down, you see
In my own body...

When it is all whittled down,
    A core of freedom is left to place.
Where fundamental questions seek the
    Constitution, for answers, case by case.

The fulcrum seems to slide back and forth,
    From right to left at...

Who Cares?

Who cares…
When loved ones with dementia go missing and resources caregivers lack
When the poor are given a handout, not a helping hand to get on track
When lying scammers and telemarketers, seniors cannot hold back 
And one bad decision results in suicide or homicide following...
