Inalienable Fundamental Rights

i want to go home 
to a place where i (I )belong 
a place that holds values 
up to the light and fighting strong  
to hold my head up, high
because i (I) am with others who can hold 
there values to the light 
to walk hand in hand 
into any man-made fight 
and know, that we are fighting in the right 

to look into our sons, and daughters little faces  
and believe we have made, a much better place 

i (I) want to be free 
to know that no man has the right to seal (badge) from me 
not my life or take way any of my rites (rights) 

i (I) want to break bread with others of my own kind 
the kind who don't seal (sea mammal) kill, or bend others minds (mind-control)     
not even to receive, a piece of gold
set a top, a money mounted hill... 

i (I) want to believe that i (I) will someday 
be free.... 
free to walk, and talk beside you
knowing no man or woman has control over me!

Freedom isn't Free
                       It comes with the price of Responsibility.

           American citizens are born with the inalienable right 
                         To peaceably assemble, to petition
                Their grievances, their aversions, their plights.

                                    Freedom isn't Free
                        It comes with the price of Responsibility.

                     Marching and rioting; with causes so deep;
                  Hubris and anger taking the charge, engaging
           In destruction, threatening the welfare of the public at large.

                                   Freedom isn't Free
                        It comes with the price of Responsibility.

                     Women's rights, undocumented immigrants,
                 The racial divide and global affairs their major concerns;
               Heightened by the outcome of this unprecedented election,
                    Propelling feckless tactics and undue aggression.

                                   Freedom isn't Free
                       It comes with the price of Responsibility.

        Celebrities jumping on board; rallying with acrid voices,repudiating calm
                          resolution for revolt and revolution.
        What have they accomplished, what have they done; tarnished the
                  credibility of voices that should peacefully be sung.

                                  Freedom isn't Free
                        It comes with the price of Responsibility.

I Got Arrested Further Developments Await

I got arrested!... further developments await...

By gravity said law
linkedin with physics
stating that a body at rest
will remain thus unless otherwise
acted upon by an external force,

hence I cannot wrest motion
from inert human matter
regarding nearly lifeless entity
concerning how aye barely breathe
heavily weighed down

with lugubriousness easily crushing
this seventy two inch
rusty, cowardly, creaky...
complex corporeal edifice,
thus resigning myself

watching flight of bumblebee
hopscotching from one
clover plant to another
wondrous winged warrior
unphased by human "rat race"

higglety pigglety,
pell mell, helter skelter,
how grand living off the grid
venerating native flora and fauna
simply engrossed with daily tasks

solely attending
basic inalienable rights
life, liberty, pursuit of happiness
keeping stereotypical roles intact
males species pact schedule

hunting in tandem
with brotherly comrades
females tending hearth and home
tendering, safeguarding, nesting...
homeschooling offspring

supervising fledgling,
the latter gingerly venturing
tentatively into parts unknown
unfamiliar territory brimming
trained instincts detect danger,
nonetheless plod along

blueprinted genetically
inherent migratory paths
guides where uncertainty looms
within wide whirring web
invoking, feigning camouflage,
or mimicking ("FAKE")
simulating another organism.

Two Charade Clowns

There are two famous politicians who hold the stage,
they should be in this year New York's Halloween Parade
to attract huge crowds: they are stuttering Biden and hysterical Harris; 
these two have shaped the theatrical perception of two charade clowns!

One is hideously scary, the other is theatrically funny,
America has become a battlefield, a nobody's land:
there's no impenetrable wall to protect this country;
no regard for police, no gun control to stop the blood!

It's a bad time for them to engage in a fierce battle,
this rampant pandemic doesn't discriminate; 
who chooses to get the vaccine shot is saved,
who refuses it is someone to be alienated,
going home without a check and feeling miserable, 
shouting their inalienable rights that aren't sacred
anymore; alas, they won't transform their fate!  
Oh, turn off Fox News: it makes this house rattle!

Premium Member I'M a Lover Not a Fighter

I'm a lover not a fighter,
I'm a fighter not a fool.
I won't surrender inalienable rights,
To Washington's Marxist tools.

I'm a lover not a fighter,
I'm a fighter not a fool.
I won't abide the liar's,
In the main stream media pool.

I'm a lover not a fighter,
I'm a fighter not a fool.
I know that God in Heaven,
Will ultimately rule.

Multilayered - the Cause Is Civil Rights

MULTILAYERED: THE CAUSE IS CIVIL RIGHTS!

How time has changed.
I am a colored woman by DNA living in a country of diversity.
I can remember my first day of school when my teacher asked me to self-identify.
     “I am Native American”, I said.
In truth, my great-grandmother was Native American and I felt it was alright to 
     claim her as my racial identity.
Nevertheless, an N was written on my cumulative record.
Later I found this meant *****.

The third Monday of each January Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday is 
     celebrated.
This poem is in commemoration of his cause.

***

I have the right to express myself in the United States of America.
I have the right to self-identify the best way for me.
I am mixed-blood from all borders of this part of the universe.
I have the right to be heard and to seek a meaningful life that is vested in a liberated    
     mind.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is there 
     to eradicate.
This has not been done as to this day.
I have the right to Civil Rights.
Therefore, I shall not be moved when the movement did not breakthrough.

***

The tribulations came from slavery time.
History of the white man crimes
Equality, equity, and identity deprived.

Crusaders depicted the cause.
Assembled for their voice to be heard.
Unity was formed.
Sources with civilian purposes
Equality is only the foundation that has been scaffold.

Cause I am endowed with inalienable rights
In a nation of diversity and pride,
Vigorously I dramatize
Issues of my civil rights
Legally being denied.

Right to a fair trial
I represent self,
Government and justice are on my side.
Human rights are in all minds’ eye.
To this country, I bring forth my freedoms... Preamble.

Statue of law exemplifies in that I have "the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of 
     happiness because all humankind are created equally".
Issues today are in a manifold
Sequestered by the lack of applicable law.

See Our World Is Slowly Dying

Our children are starving
We are busy fighting obsolete wars
The yearning of the infinite
One must flee the decay and connotations 
Of stagnant self content 
Running up against the wall 
Of nonexistence
Afraid of being thrown back
Into the nothingness
From which we came from
The servile fear of unholy wrath
The filial fear of selfishness
For conscience is not easily silenced
Thus we must refrain from 
Self endowed sovereign inalienable worth
And not assimilate 
To our slowly dying world
And be inclined to change the world 
For greater good

"I wear my hat as I please, indoors or out"
-Walt Whitman

I walk the land as I want,
the flutter of the dove shudders my 
eyelids, dodging my step.
My soul, linking all souls, passes through 
trees on my trail, bounding among planets 
glimpsed between the apex of pine. I have 
no fear of being beyond my body, nor 
does the seed that falls from spent flower, 
anguish beyond time. The unseen bloom, 
millenial light-years away, shares 
inherent liberty. Many will gather these 
words and hold them to the highest light, 
that of our Creator, whose compassion 
trifles not with material gain, but with 
justice and liberty for all living things,
(equal with respect to all previous 
sufferings and triumphs centuries before) 
So it is with high diligence I value the true 
compass of man and woman, forever 
linked with our inalienable rights, as 
nature intends.

Poetry...the primary inevitable response to tyranny
                                - Daniel Berrigan


Clear water running in the spring creek, flows
from every newborn's heart. Around the bend

coruption pollutes our thoughts with consumerism,
paths of mutual destruction and madness
modeled on the nightly news.

Still, the pure well in our hearts runs deep, frustrating
the robber-barons of our souls.

Food we eat, politics we endorse, come under
increased scrutiny as truth refreshes.

Pinnacles of power topple as their pawns
resist in ever increasing numbers.

Manufactured enemies (self-sourced) created
to control history by providing security
from fear are now seen in the light of day
as what they truly are, enslavement.

Arm-in-arm, hand-in-hand
people are waking up to to their inalienable
rights to freedom and liberty for all.

The time is now to stay vigilant, neo-cons
increasingly will create rolling disasters, meant
to ignite fear only they 
(by our abjudication of freedom and liberty)
can resolve.

Never waver, never relent, peacefully
resist.

Premium Member Quail Not At Death's Door If You Wrought No Wilful Harm

Quail not at Death’s door if you wrought no wilful harm

Quail not at Death’s door if you wrought no wilful harm
Should turning back in vengeance be the Dead Man’s qualm
Though even as the end nears the comfort of proffered pardon
Will in no way replace the sacrifices to expunge the burden

Sure everyone wreaks harm by chance or through ignorance
During those moments when control  depends on circumstance
The way the chips fall is not a matter for individual call
Is not that the way centillions of quarks knock into it all

Do the Dead turn back to set right their splintered houses
Or do the worlds keep spinning guided by original causes
Tell not the man whose wits desert him what’s really wrong
The punishment the Dead incur is a judgement well foregone

He who turns self-righteously around to avenge or to meddle
To set right the world’s injustices in the Manichean treadle
Might earn himself a life’s sentence to roam all over again
Dead people walking numb through friendless terrain

All they may be able to do is to warn you of a fiddle
Of some danger sapping your strength the key to a riddle
Even if friends and relatives who betrayed your confidence
Will cling to spurious justifications ever through repentance

Think not of the lives milling lost in the neck of your clouds
Is there no end to ramifications vilifications in livelihoods
Do the Dead take along with them the history of their lives
And in which distant sibling planet are they stored in archives

If only it were as easy as to look up and wish them all away
What good can this earth be with us all dead in it anyway
Bickering for pieces of molten land pieces of names in decay
Metals and rock on fire hurtling down minuscule Milky Way

What need has the Maker for such a vast and roving Empire
Even children give up playing with trains and coaches on fire
Do the Dead renew passports before entering galactic spaces
Or do they coddle up in comfort in inalienable birth-places

Wouldn’t our world be some thing else but for this baffling secret
The foregone fate of earth-born gods if it weren’t for this regret.

Dignity Is Something That Can Not Be Compromised

Dignity is Something that Can Not be Compromised
 
Dignity is a value that applicable to both individual and a collective of people on the Global.
The value of connection between individual and social environment is highly respected in a positive way.
Every Individual’s dignity can only be recognized from the experience by other who would judge and assess.
But human dignity must be inviolable and everyone should respect that, this is a normal behavior towards others.
Dignity must be well respected and protected, because when people are united, there should be no differences and we are all the same.
Human dignity is not only a fundamental right but it constitutes the real basis rights to respect, and wealthy should not be valued higher than one’s life.
And whereas many people tends to forget to recognize the dignity and equal rights from every human being.
Those are an inalienable rights of all inhabitants of the earth to keep the freedom, justice and peace in the world.
This word confirms a personal’s dignity within the part of legal system and it should not use to violate the name of others.
And human dignity must be respected with the same rules.
Nobody wants to lose their self-esteem and respect because of the attitude of somebody who like to belittle other and only praise for themselves.
We cannot effect the dignity of other, for the fact that we were more luckier at birth and therefore have a better place in this society .
We should just respect and appreciate everyone for their own value.
 
I wish you a healthy life.
Kindly Regards,

Deliver Me, Deliver Us

I have found my voice

at humanity’s eleventh hour

I have found my voice because

I called upon humanity’s wisdom

and asked if I can help to deliver

to you

some units of joy

and lessons of love

so I ask you to hear humanity's inevitable lovesong

ancient

humble

soothing

And deliver me

deliver us

deliver me 

on the days Jefferson spoke of inalienable rights

deliver us into that night of human liberation

when czars were overthrown and utopia envisioned

deliver me on the day Martin had his dream
	
deliver us on the day Paris’ commune became community

deliver me

deliver us

I say deliver me

And deliver us

Because without the us 

there is no me

And without the me 

There is no us

humanity’s struggle

constant argument between

Me

And 

Us

The me and the us

Were at 

Lexington Concord

Gettysburg

St. Petersburg

Stalingrad

Omaha beach

Paris, Prague, and Mexico in 1968

Tianenmen Square in 1989

And Occupy Wall Street 

The me and the us

Are at kitchen table

Deciding whose childhood is spared

The me and the us are at

Parliaments all over the world

Deciding whose life is worthwhile

The me and the us are at the UN

Deciding which nations are worthwhile

The me and the us

History has been about the me and the us

History’s first experiment in liberation

Stalin and world interrupted, still insisting on the me

so I ask you, humanity

I implore you

In the name of so many terrified faces

In the name of so many torture chamber places

I ask you here and now

At humanity’s eleventh hour

brink of armaggedon's world war

to

Deliver me 

And deliver us

Deliver us from humanity's dark night

let the children and future generations breathe

freedom's air

Deliver me

Deliver us

Deliver me

Deliver us.

The Bill of Papers Please: a Crazy Law

the State of Arizona has signed a very crazy law
that in the opinion of most Americans has some major flaws
it requires each and every person who trods upon their land 
to walk around with proof of citizenship papers in their hands
they say it's not racial profiling, they say it's fair and just
to make an assumption about anyone's immigration status
I don't know, maybe it's me
but doesn't this bill violate our basic civil liberties

Arizona is the only state which wanted no part of that federal determination
that made the birthday of the Rev. Dr. M.L. King a day of national celebration
I don't know about you America but I see the writing on the wall
If we don't stop this Bill the integrity of America will fall

most every person in the United States is a product of immigration
be it first, second, third, fourth or fifth generation
how dare those racists in Arizona try to pass this crazy law
that undermines everything that America stands for
"Give me your tired, your hungry and your poor" are the words on the Statue of Liberty
yet this law that demands proof of status is an Unconstitutional absurdity

the Police in turn won't be able to deal with any real crime
if they're going around asking people for citizenship papers all the time
no warrant is required, just a reasonable suspicion
but who has the wherewithall to determine that decision?
Heaven forbid if they should ever encounter a child
would they say "papers please" with a badge and a smile?
this is some BS, why can't they see that this bill is wrong?
and who in hell gave them the authority to tell people where they belong?

this Bill I call "Papers Please" this Bill we must fight
so that every American will sustain their inalienable rights
for this country to be like South Africa was with its aparthied situation
would be a grievous mistake and a true abomination
"Papers Please" Arizona's Senate Bill 1070 we must defeat
we need to let the State of Arizona know that we will take it to the streets

The Secret Place

"The Secret Place" 

Inside 
the secret place
we sleep it wakes

pushing nightmares away
poems it breathes 
into burning flames

walking in 
and 
out the gate

torching black hearts
each one a post mark 
to light the long way

Inside 
the secret place 
we sleep it wakes

breathing words between 
our lips, it kisses kindness
injects its absolute strength

opening minds to love
in our dreams, 
we drink it all in

inalienable words, 
we hear it 
speak

when it is time
we will need it 
when we wake 

but do not sleep 
and what we were 
becomes forgotten dream

Inside 
the secret place
we sleep it wakes

waiting for that day
when we will meet
at the gate

Incredulity

Incredulity


I draw in oxygen
The sweet and foul odours
The same as you
I breathe
And in its life giving rapport
I exist
Of blood exchanges in corpuscle energies
Transmitted
Maintains
Thoughts awareness and grasp
On immediacy
Existential
In its poetry

Life

But it is with a sense of the incredulous
In which I view
Human life
Separated as we are to self indulgence
Family units
Singular identities
Arrogant; self-centred; egoisms
Of division

View as we do Individualities
And not an Earth bound community

And I have to ask myself
What has “life” been replaced with
Because “life” by this our modern definition of
Is a pitifully poor excuse
And a pathetic attempt
At living

And our banal self-sacrament 
To something greater than this
Is a cosmic joke
While the isolation for us all merely deepens
We defend our own

 View as we do Individualities
And not an Earth bound community

These edicts of capitalist religions
Ply us with the answers to nothing
But keep us going
And ever entering the supermarket cathedrals
Of our faith in God and Money

We; the human commune
Are torn apart from fellowship
By the unrequited need to survive
In a world that makes us pay its price
For existence

And all, all are so enamoured of cultural surety
That this could be, the only way to be
That we drown and survive
Between riches and poverty 

View as we do Individualities
And not an Earth bound community

It is a sickened and dire state in which we find ourselves
Yet still clinging desperately
To our only explanation of ourselves
This feeding upon a planets wealth
To support our own twisted vision
Of ourselves

And beneath the black blood of society
The cancer grows
For deep in our hearts each one of us knows
The inalienable right
The potential of every Earth born child

I look on with Incredulity
At the sheer volume of greed and waste
That humanity accepts
As being “normal”

View as we do Individualities
And not an Earth bound community

I draw in oxygen
The sweet and foul odours
The same as you
I breathe
And in its life giving rapport
I exist
Of blood exchanges in corpuscle energies
Transmitted
Maintains
Thoughts awareness and grasp
On immediacy
Existential
In its poetry
