When Reason Goes Out the Window
I find it curious that people will debate the nature of God, with one side saying it is irrelevant as He doesn't exist and the other sure they can pin down the nature, the complexity, of a Being so far beyond the comprehension of any...

The Amistad Mutiny

Slavery, a dirty word no matter how it’s pronounced:
Abducted and herded to the slave fortress of Lomboko1 for trade.
To be tossed in chains below deck on the Portuguese ship Tecora,2
Sailing the Atlantic Middle Passage3 leg of the voyage,
Disenfranchised from their Mendiland4 home in...

Premium Member The Royal Changeling
Deep in the dungeon in the back left corner 
Was a mere shell of what was once a man.
He was shackled to the wall of his own design
By the love of his lady so fair, and divine
 
The queen of a land so far away...

Premium Member Favorite Recurring Nightmares Part 1
Don't you think that this title is darkly divine?
But, of course, there will have to be weirdness that’s funny,
Though my nightmares are many and have complex arcs
There’s some risk here I might have to work for my money!

Nightmare 1. To Wake Up Black

Can there be...

Refugee Boy
( Poem about Kurdish Iranian teenager attacked in Croydon)

Refugee boy 

Just 17
Yet your eyes have seen so much
Now so far from home and loved ones
You thought you were free from danger
In your land of refuge
Life was routine again
College and a visit to the teahouse on...

War
WAR
Senseless killings
Barbaric and animalistic desires
Necrophilia and sadomasochism
Blinded by nationalistic pride
All out war
So babies have no where to hide
Drone attacks on hospitals and nurseries 
They bury their corpses
In cheap boxes
Bombs and guided missiles
Strike targets from the sky
The innocent are murdered
So I ask why 
Technology is pushed...

We Get No Respect

	Black people get no respect
And we never will get it,
	if we ain’t got it yet
The white man doesn’t truly consider us a threat,
we’re the best peace loving people
	he coulda ever met
Not one African nation has a nuclear weapon,
and that’s a good thing
But our land has...

Not a Size
You are not a size 
Nor blown up bust and thunder thighs 
You are a being 
Of emotions, feelings and many unseen 
Like a mysterious ocean, you get wet on coast and deep 
But precious jewels at the bottom are the ones to keep 
Ultimate...

Stupid
The world is filled
With those who kill
With God's name on their lips
Oh how morally ill,
Be he Buddah, Christ, Mohammed,
Krishna, no matter what the name,
What you have done, is totally insane

You wanker, you fool,
You kIll for 72 virgins,
Or spreading your gospel,
With unholy excursions,

The sex of a...

Lady Dumpster
Her hands gnarled and knotted
slumping as she walked
some called out when she was spotted
her shout name was Lady Dumpster
as she staggered along, she talked
folks tried to help her—she balked

When she was a girl, she was plump
family lived near the dump ground
her dad called her “the...

Chains of Command
Nostradamus  ician incantation once meet.
Informal inveracity of the ignoble sect.
Saviors stylish mercies sensed saving their necks.
Invariably today were imputed more adult.
Placing belittled Bibles on the very top shelf.
Next shelf implement the almanac.
Impending how arrangements tend to imbue.
Saviors sweet tune of the scented cock a...

The Migrant of Venice
I sit in a tent, rain pouring down
My children are crying, no food to eat.
My spirit is failing, starting to drown,
Hands clasped in prayer, my God to entreat.

My homeland has perished, corruption and war.
Our houses destroyed, our lives ripped apart.
Inhuman brutality to even the score
The...
