NYMPHS ON MIDDAY PROTEST


Crystal nymphs frolic at day-spring
Unto puffs, upon hush of blossom breast
sliding and gliding like dangling strings
Chilling the fever of midday protest
soft-sweet rest as all sleeps at their nest

I have come for you in times of the past,
Never have I revealed my face to you,
And still, the next time will not be the last,
For man does not live only once it's true.

So why fear me of all there is to fear?
Do I not...

Their hands raise with ours and for a moment we are all standing in perfect unity, every set of fingers curled in anger and defiance - and then they throw the tear gas.

Which is rich,
Because how many women have wept,
Sliding down their walls to their...

So let me get this straight
(if I can use that word
in a totally non-offensive way)

Jack and Jill now get bottled water
Delivered.

Little Bo Peep
Keeps her sheep on leash
And cleans up after them.

The Three Billy Goats Gruff
And the troll
Play Bridge

The Ugly Duckling
Can no longer identify
As a Swan

No War No Protest!

Colors of red, green, black, and white 
spread on the east side of one campus
On the other a wave of white, and blue stars
A flock has gathered
The atmosphere seems peaceful 
Tents resembling tepees, 
Like ancient wigwams everywhere, 
closely watched by the camera’s...

I am not the lesser sex
My sex may represent me
But what I am and who I am
Is held in my woman soul

You can see it in my eyes
If only you care to look
And my spirit lives there always
Even if you take away my pride

Destroy my...

There was wrong on both sides.
We can not stop our Protest
There seems to be no answer
We can not stop our Protest
The march for justice is on
We can not stop our Protest
The want for fairness between
We can not stop our Protest
Until the rights of everyone is...

Pink pussy knit caps

so who's "bigly" now?...

Without a Doubt

I’ve seen your yellow underbelly now
and there’s no denying or going back
a solid moral compass is what you lack
this country torn, breaking bodies bough
with deaths and sorrows piled upon your brow

lying and cheating is what you are about
it’s putting our people into the...

We won’t remember 9/11
election fraud will be forgotten
school shootings will belong in the past
no one will talk about gun control
black, white, woman, man, illegal, homeless, rich or poor
old, young, gay, straight, native or cowboy
we will finally know equality
climate change will not be debated
Social Security and...

To say exactly what I feel,
At first seems quite unreal.
What’s on my mind to be exact.
Without forethought, without tact?

To beckon my deepest thought
Not thinking whether I ought
Well, OK I will give it a go, 
what will happen I don’t know.

Thoughts sweep.
Old times creep.
Whispers remain.
Joyous refrain.

Quite...

We are victims
Tied with  common fetters 
Loosed in thoughts of varied choices and desires
Loosely searching to make ends meet:
The meeting at this spot,
Either to go or stay, is a choice.

We are victims
Of the policies of pain
Emitted to drive us crazy, 
We are on the...

Dissenters dominate the streets,
	The public dominion of demonstrations.
This POTUS threatens military domination.
             Just forget the pesky First Amendment.
Sowing seeds of civil war
