Memories of a Zimbabwean Childhood
Long ago,the guinea fowls congregated 
Clourfully and innumerably 
And sang sweet songs 
And played in the savanah
They sang for the for the antelopes 
To leap  and dance in the beautiful grass lands
 The farm boys listened and danced too
And their hearts were merry

At night...

Premium Member Shape of the Institution
I have the shape of the institution.
Each email address is a human.

They are known by their words and actions.
The whole wide world is just a fraction

of all I do not know. Expansion
and contraction, breathe in, out, meditation

on existence, non-existence, creation
and duration. I have no explanation

Damn Divisive Demagogic Derelict
Das Don doth debilitate democracy
driving a collateral wedge
deliberately dividing differences
collaborating, collapsing, and collaring
disparity amidst ever
increasing homogenization

extant within contiguous United States
across world wide web for that matter
attested by increased
spike among multiracial
amalgamated enclaves, individuals mixing,
where preponderance of melanin

generally affecting predominance
regarding increasing swarthy
naturally copper toned skin
across vast majority...

Premium Member Calculating Costs of Hate Crimes
Wherein lies the great dividing moral distinction
between hate crimes of socioeconomic historic proportion
distorting multiculturally synergetic re-ligious communication,
out-glaring more mundane popularity of defiance crimes
against a more personal sacred nature?

Why is society's right to aggressively imprison unto nutritional neglect,
to kill and maim in just vengeance of angry...

Stalingrad
Stalingrad
During moments I yearned for forests grown for me alone,
Caressing them in a dream,
I could sense the throbbing of the heart 
Hidden beneath my ribs to bless my journey. 
Summoning me with a pulse that he recognizes in me.
I heard the noise of abandoned smoke...

Premium Member If I Ruled the World
so many unknown variables to consider for such a tasking pursuit

a conditional ‘If’ but what if ‘whether’ reigns in a supreme challenge

conjectures battle refutations and synapses blocked in surrender

as long as suppositions succeeded in their hypothetical contemplation

the world may as well be flat and circle...

beyond our time and place a clumsy confusion of Primordials dwell
  they play with notions, forming bubbles in child-like wonder
  they meld and morph, shaping membranes which burst asunder
  falling under the wayward influence of some uncanny Ephemeral spell

This long time doodling Yankee

Travails of Life
I traveled with Gulliver in his travails
Often times involving in shipwreck- 
Or becoming prisoner of the Lilliputians of life.
I sailed on the ocean of life-
Getting marooned on an island called strife.
I must live; but life someday I must leave.
I thread this path with none to...

Looking back on those tumultuous summers
from nineteen sixty-five through sixty-eight:
   Recalling
   Harlem and Newark
   Detroit and Chicago
   Watts and even LA--
Young folks have asked me, Could JFK have saved the day?

Here is my answer
Don't know if it's...

Premium Member The Demise of Evil
To steal; to kill; to destroy ;  three deathly traits of ‘the evil one’.
Nothing to negotiate or discuss; no bomb threats and timelines.
The stages and steps to total annihilation had begun, bathed in hate.
The evil plot was so manipulative that some of its players...

Your grandfather wants to apologize
not just for voting for Donald Trump,
but also for praying he would continue in Presidential Office
with YHWH's fertile blessings
of sacred ChristCentered Hearts and Minds,
economic and political leadership of divine Retributive Judgment.

Honey,
I think you're about to lose them
with this punishing narrative.
Why don't...
