Moonlight shines on the lake, The gentle ripples make it shimmer in the eyes like slivers of silver, Dancing on the unstill water surface. In the chilly, late Autumn evening, The cold wind blows across Welcoming the winter With it, stabbing icy daggers. A lone stranger on the deserted road Walks with a forced stoop, To prevent the onslaught Of the unkind wind on his harrowed...

Citizens Prerogative In this clime of ours, citizens right is an illusion, the subjugation leaves a dent. Our legs wobble with weakness, our lungs go dry with thirst, Dreams bleached in graves. From one mendacious tale to another, It's a cycle of everyday struggles, and there's no end in sight. Amid sighs and sobs, amid groans and tears, we pray for light and hope.

In its myopic mendacity, In its mockery of fundamental democracy, We all take great comfort in knowing A woman’s body is now state-regulated. There is great solace...

She is 98 and sweeps sweeps sweeps her patio away Every day for hours Arms wrapped around her broom Bride groom Lifted over the threshold of twigs and torment She cannot see nor hear much farther than her own reach For I wave to her from the yard next door Call out her name Hello Lilith But she doesn’t flinch From her private dance...

I know a country, With three set of citizens, The rich, The well fed slaves, And the hungry free people. I know a country, Where graduates are jobless with buried hopes, In this country, so many lies told are believed to be the truth, Religious intolerance and extremism causes discrimination, And there is over dependence on crude oil than agriculture, education and youth...

I’ve got no beef with McDonald’s or Jack ‘n the Box weighing down American towns with greasy sacks in thin hospital gowns. They’re just a couple of clowns selling crack to cavalier carnies who’d like fries with that six thousand calorie corpulent noun with a large diet Coke to wash it all down. Where I live (Houston) everyone is fat. Me, you, black,...
