Premium Member Rhythm and Blues
They want our rhythm but not our blues They envy our natural melanin yet tan too We wear our style and they call it hood They copy it now and say it’s all good They want to erase our heroes and heroines Because there’s a power in the skin we’re in King, Tubman, Malcom X, Garvey and more are Past heroes...

Premium Member DAILY GRATITUDE DEI
Today I’m grateful for Diversity, equity and inclusion… and how in the whole pie of life each plays an important one-third.. Diversity is having a seat at the table Equity is having a voice… Inclusion is having that voice be heard. ...

Premium Member Administration '25
They're knocking at me door In the middle of the night They're knocking at me door Giving me an awful fright. They taking me To a camp where Ashes fall like black snow. I'll not be overjoyed By goose-stepping boys With boots to their knees, oh hey, And brown shirts and billy clubs Cheese grater belly rubs Coming to take me away....

Premium Member Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei They sang. Echoes of an ancient cry Of prophet wild On Jordan’s bank. Mystery spans eternity, Infinity the source and end. Provision planned In love For man, For God A remedy to cross the gulf, Sin’s chasm, Gaping wound Unhealed Till that great Baptist cry, Behold the Lamb of God! Scribbled after hearing Gounod’s music, ‘Agnus Dei’ on the radio. ...

("Multiculturalism Merit Badge", 2010, original oil) DEI Skin color is literally skin deep, Of course race means a lot more - For anatomy and physiology, Our emotional and mental characteristics, But that is all deeper than a color. To focus on just skin Misses all that is beneath All that is within, And THAT is called an individual; You, me, and us. Why would we ever give...

Facies Dei
Most radiant host, angelic glory be Within thy blesséd grace, Portal of Faith. In simple form You came, yet still through thee We see theophony, through which God saith, ¨Dear child mine, most valiant flesh now is thine. Hereby thy peace I grant, through darkest night With burden light and blood of freshest vine. My veil, most pale, shines forth the brightest...

Premium Member Regrets of a woke therapist
I was a woke shrink, I sadly write this verse. My patients came in bad shape, ended up worse. Today there was Cohen, who thought he was French. I told him either way, his privilege gave a stench. I told him skin color made him an oppressor. He got so upset; he jumped on my dresser. There was Jane who when...

Verbum Dei
Twelve men in the beginning reporting unto God Ten Commandments to proclaim… devotional synod Sacred by their nature born each man immortal bound Divinity in every word salvations thorny crown Choices come and choices go judgment waits beyond The weight incumbent, buried deep embedded in a psalm Nine will cloister, locked in place the future theirs to choose Decisions based on marble text —Noah’s Ark in view (Villanova University: June, 2022)...

On Reading Campo Dei Fiori By Cm
You, Czeslaw, like a brook of the earth, welling up to the skies and more, swelling up even to the sun and the stars and all unknown, uncounted galaxies and more, more than we can yet know or ever will, till in timeless space we dwell in a place where our tears mingle with your own, making of themselves and all their visions and their...

Imago Dei
If leaden skies above you, responsive As brass, are mocking your anguish’d heart cries, Repulsing all resolution efforts; Your angels holiday, while Father God Seems distracted -- higher priorities Eclipsing yours – Would this be the reason You sit stranded on this park bench broken Beside the path you once sojourn’d upon? I know that He sent me to offer hope. A savior...

Dei
Contemplating how and why I search for reasons in the sky I ponder why I'm not alone While learning how to make a home Her presence raises questioning How love will bloom in early spring Why she chose to be with me New born life is what I see A first for her, it's all brand new I share advice on what to do Why...

Sono Dipendente Dei Tuoi Baci
With every fleeting breath, For the rest of my life, I simply will not forget, Your toxin, My strife. With a single drop you infect, Flowing through my veins, A sin I can’t repent, Your touch, My pain. Without mercy you intrude, Writhing under my skin, A sensual interlude, Your lyric, My sin. With shame I may repel, Yet I return for more, Instinctively compelled, Your well, My draw. With...
