When Reason Goes Out the WindowI 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 MutinyThe 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...

The Royal ChangelingDeep 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...

Favorite Recurring Nightmares Part 1Don'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...

WarWAR
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 SizeYou 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...

StupidThe 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...

Dramatic Monologue
Lady DumpsterHer 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 CommandNostradamus 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 VeniceI 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...
