Dear Mother
For Dwina, in celebration of Talia's graduation from high school. Dear mother, warm around me-- tender home for just this while; so close together, you and I I feel good when you smile. Dear mother, here you've brought me to this world so vast and bright; oh, hold me close, protect me and we'll rest here, for the night. Dear mother, I'm so hungry-- right away,...

A Load of Gold
A Load of Gold, Carrying a heavy load, Walking down this winding road, A burden holding the gold, A treasure that I hold, As I am anchored in what's true, The weight of the world's view, Comes crashing over you. What can I really do? All my words carry it through, The other part is...

Reaping
One small change is all I made One small sacrifice was made I gave an inch and got back a meter I gave God a bow and got an army A small gesture can have a giant impact A little love can have the greatest effect I didn’t know I could reap so much from so little I didn’t know another soul...

Premium Member Grace
I tried, I tried really really hard. To be good enough, smart enough. I became who he wanted me to be, a good son who praised him. Still that wasn’t enough, nowhere near enough. I was no longer me.

The New Superpower 2050
I am the voice of time — The whisper of centuries long silenced, And today, I thunder: The Earth has turned. The meek now reign. In the year 2050, China stands not as a country, But as the heartbeat of a new era, The firstborn of the Global South’s resurrection. Not with swords, but silicon. Not with chains, but circuits. Africa — No longer a continent...
