Premium Member Displaced--The Trail of Tears --- REVISED
Time Period~~1830-1850 As rain falls hard and soaks the ground and thunder roars its mighty sound, so tears of the displaced may fall, our cries bespeaking dearth and pall. The Deep South tribes of long ago were forced to forge a trail of woe, of death and want, with goods so small, our cries bespeaking dearth and pall. We Cherokees were brought to tears when...

Displaced
I've walked in the light and shadows of kings I've sung songs that were both chains and wings Elixirs of sorrow I've both sipped and poured And ive proven and disreguarded both legends and lore I've devoured and spewed all of my needs And ive displayed and hidden all of my pleas I have carried and discarded all of my wants And...

Displaced in Misplaced Confidence
If I should get punctured, laying leaking Crimson Tide, call me Deacon Blues as I slowly start to die. If they miss me, take it easy. All is as it should be. It's best to cut losses, cut ties, change your name, skip town, and grow a beard.. Like To-day, act now before patience sells out in turn...

It is time for me to change my pace: To shake off plays in life's race Lay my head against future's chest Allow its arms to do their best. To breathe in its comforting musk, To sink into its lights of busking To let people and things fall away Not to struggle for them to sway. Echoing thoughts that...

Premium Member Displaced Purdons-
Held high I hold; Displace visions told; From my heart to my soul; I'm not letting the story go; My highest aim is my goal; Let go letting gone see; Are those compelling me; To belong where I need not call; My vision is blurred, I'm missed understood; As my life on hold yet I fall; WHAAAT!!!!!!! 7/13/23 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2023©...

Premium Member Despair Displaced
Hopelessness, like krait betwixt stones, creep into heart, Confusion, like troubled stream, from heart, stands apart; I am lonely and lost; float on flooding river, Lifeless! Though reach the banks, I'll live like a sliver...! I try to avoid despair, yet, like leech it clings, Looks externally simple; it has hooking strings; With sufferings and pains it makes my mind brim-fill, When...

Displaced
The end, or beginning of the strip mall starts at the Subway Subs a set aside frontage overlooked by bushes and idling traffic. Further along, the ephemeral Pop-up Party Shop; when not ‘up’ that commercial space sells T-shirts a print for printing slogans. Abutting is the computer game center, pale youths enter not to be seen again until cell phones broadcast amber alerts. Lastly, the hardware store, a...

Displaced Conception
Whats at your center? Where is your peace? Is it puppies or the season, maybe color. For me, you see, it must be the sky, the trees, the way they meet. The way they vary but always stay the same. Blue by day, yellow then night. Watch the fragments of time bring about...

Premium Member Displaced In Kathmandu
Our dinner, boiled to death root vegetables, we swallow in silence as night closes-in on the school. The co-opted Buddhist monastery housing us empties its porcelain thrones into the walled garden’s weedy rear yard. Village women wash: the floors, the pots, the laundry from first light to deep dark. The water runs downhill. War does...
