IN CAPABILITY GARDENS
There’s ability,
And there’s disability;
Let’s garden both:
Ability’s seeds fruiting
Disability’s healing:-

DIVERSITY, EQUITY INCLUSION
Today I’m blessed with the task of clearing up some confusion…
when it comes to DEI- diversity, equity and inclusion…
Personally I’m am mortified…shocked…dismayed…appalled…
why when it comes to DEI…people are confused at all
Diversity, equity and inclusion will always make our country…our world strong…
anyone who agrees will always be right…
and the rest will always be wrong.

INSIDE THE BOOKSTORE
Please excuse me if occasionally I repeat myself…If these words you’ve heard before…
but if you want a true depiction of what the world is like…go inside any bookstore.
Outside a bookstore there are people under the shadow of religion and politics
pretending they want everyone to be free…
but telling us what books we should read, who we

A Space Beyond the Kitchen
From a home, where loud, yet weary voices reign
My voice echoes like a Whale in the Atlantic squeaks;
For a space to yield in,
Perhaps, to seal a better space.
Never again shall the kitchen be my only place!
Yesterday, Mama didn’t dine with the nobles;
But like an ancient maiden, she cleaned Caesar’s

EQUITY ON ROCKS
Eyes draped in black,
The Scale of Justice, stark and exact,
Struggles with truth and fairness,
In a land where might eclipses righteousness.
Justice delayed, where should we start?
An alchemist’s touch to mend every part.
Government's hollow promises,
Culprits evade without consequences.
Corruption ingrained in every root,
A Herculean

Faith for free
Let's have faith for posterity,
For all our humanity,
Plant prayers, our thoughts,
Turn into pastoral support,
Alms for welfare globally,
Share riches for equity,
Small, practical steps no less,
Our faith and prayers can bless,
Advance our future, I say,
Jesus' faith will show the way.....

Equity For All To See
In shadows cast by prejudice, a knock resounds,
At the door of your heart, where peace abounds.
Brother, let not questions cloud the air,
For I am like you, in this world we share.
Not defined by hues, nor land's embrace,
I stand before you, a human race.
The cold winds blow, outside your gate,
Open, brother, don't discriminate.
No black, no yellow,

Romantic Equity
Neil Sedaka sang, 'Breaking Up is Hard to Do'
Then again, Getting Together (in the first place) is too
With all that romantic equity invested
You'd think folks wouldn't dare test it

Potd Pracial Equity
Oh , how I desire universal, racial equality.
Not just forced “liberal” politically imposed. morality.
It must spring from each soul, free as a spring flower.!
Not forced to swallowed, as a lump of hard coal.
Color does not, in anyway make one superior.
Conversely., color does not make any human being, inordinately inferior..
Your abilities and intelligence. should be

Equality and Equity
You, he and I; we are not alike
Human we’re akin to our rights
Fingers are not equal by nature
For using purpose these are fair
Many minds many choices it’s fact
On earth colorful varieties are tact
Variety is beautiful, not discrimination
We enjoy all as our mind gratification
Glove is garment can cover hand bare
It has separate sheathes

Grave Feelings
I rediscover organic errors
hidden in co-gravitating
love language.
Gravity is easily noticed
as Apple falling toward Earth;
less visibly co-scienced,
experientially remembered,
as co-gravitational
co-relational intent
As Apple's ego-gravity core
falls drawn toward sacred Earth's
Mothering womb
smothering tomb
once more
returning toward deeply divine
anthrosupremely verbal
overpowering EarthTribe's co-operating gravitas soul
slowly soaring
back down and reborn out
into globally nutritional
seasonally appropriate
co-invested ecological
co-operative 7-regeneration
ecosystemic co-investment
From which this same sacred
co-gravitating Apple
dialectically
binomially
bilaterally
double-binary
co-empathically
historically
polyculturally potentiated,
health soiled

Dialogue If I May
I
We teach others to pray
We show kids how to play
With kindness, another way
Even when they walk away
In immaturity: "Love him? No way!"
II
We meditate on peace, we preach it
The world is not ready, do we ditch it?
America reviews texts, history, politics
To make peace in the Middle East
There's enough room here to dream these
Aurobindo's dream is 73

The Etiquette of Equity
The buzzard now puzzles the carcass on the road
Holding the Divine Discernment for life in beak
Is that a Christian or black brother in distress
It sure looks tasty on the barren desert menu
Equality and equity are good for the digestion
Spiced with barbarian flies over the deceased
What circles up above is true love
Vulture and Buzzard are
