Of Daughters and Aborted LibertiesOf Daughters and Aborted Liberties…
My ravished womb drips
precious blood of incestuous rape;
the ghosts of my daughters scream
from shared graves
marked with vaginal blood
shed by sons drunk
on the wine of intoxicating power.
Mislead adolescent warriors
fan holocaust embers
scorching time tested hopes
gone to ashes
as death winds strike chimes
of ebony genocide;
and...

Liberties Slowly TakenLiberties slowly taken,
"We The People" forsaken,
From our "Leaders" nothing is said.
The economy crashes.
Propaganda T.V. flashes.
Jobs along with answers have fled.
New World Order completed.
Freedom and Saints defeated.
Faith of many shaken.
Deaths long cold rattling groan.
An ancient evil on the throne.
Enemies quickly taken.
For the "Taken" contest...

In the labyrinth of thoughts where shadows dance with echoes of forgotten libertiesIn the labyrinth of thoughts where shadows dance with echoes of forgotten liberties,
Where the moon casts its silver veil upon the silent watchers of the night,
He wanders, a soul lost in the sea of melancholy, a dreamer adrift in the waves of time,
Contemplating the chains...

LibertiesGiven I've cursed myself
writing the title first,
I'll treat myself to a scribble,
poorly written, pointless lines
babbling, bubbling sloppily,
like those people I envy,
cranking it out without thought...

Taking Liberties With FreedomThe angry red face of Mammon
peaks out from behind the now
green skirts of sweet Libertas

that bought him his freedom...

Reattaching LibertiesDr. Sue Johnson,
developer of Emotionally Focused Therapy,
rooted in an Attachment Theory
that organic creatures live healthier
more robust
compassionate
and prosperous lives
when their original womb relationship
and earliest parent/child interdependence
is more warmly attached
and less coldly detached,
and certainly not absent,
stolen for social protection disservices,
lost,
threatened,
and/or strategically bombed,
abused,
and then chronic Industrious Revolution neglected.

LibertiesLiberties
The state of being free from oppressive restrictions,
or the weight of too much liberties and its affliction.
The paradox of boundaries towards creative ponder,
the prison of structure and disciplined wonder.
Time speaks for itself from the inmost cave,
kindling spirits and its shifting sphere wave.
When wisdom dominates the...

I Stand In the Hope and Liberties of My God-After hope is gone
there yet still hoping God
tired and influence lost a job
bill collectors calling don't care
you stare at the walls
about to be evicted someone calls
but your phone's been turned off in the middle of the fall
conversation do you...

did not come with a forever guarantee..
Our forefathers fought for these liberties,
put their lives on the line and got down
on their knees..
It's our time now to protect these rights,
from want a be...
