When Holy Hands Drop BombsWhat makes it okay to bomb a nation?
Kill so many who don’t have a station?
Destroy a country, cities and families?
Women, babies, children and men—all tragedies—
Who never chose this war… suffer again and again.
Across the globe, a catch twenty-two
Do what I say, not as I do.
What happened to the Fifth Commandment?,
In a world where religion is...

SYRIANS MADE A MISTAKEPeacefully they had marched on
Voices raised, not fists
Pleading for freedom,
For a chance to breathe without fear.
But what truly is freedom?
Is it worth twelve million displaced souls
Cities leveled into dust
And dreams buried beneath rubble?
What began as peaceful
Became a wound the world blinked past
Sores etched into memory
Scars broadcast, then forgotten.
The headlines have moved on
But the grief remains
Mothers...

My NightmareI remember the night he tore me from light,
From the home of a friend to the jaws of the night.
A grip like a vice, no mercy, no grace,
My head in a whirl, blood drained from my face.
He cursed as he dragged me by handfuls of hair,
Shoved me toward steel with a murderous glare.
He swore...

How could you understand?Your breath spews poison,
your words like hail
storm the night.
You're toxic and
your truth is blackness
doused with venom.
There is no room for compromise.

Howling Wilderness
Life can be filled with much love and joy,
what happen when people want to destroy?
We each need to find our place,
in the Howling Wilderness of space.
Away from all the hurt and pain,
where we can rest both body and brain.
We can hear the wild animal sounds,
taking us far from the evil peoples towns....

The violence You greeted us withWould it be safer to be born as a white person
In a world that worships them
What would it take for the world to accept black
When we have always been treated as less than
What would the world look like if we chose peace
Where our hands connect in the name of justice
But you don't want...

Evil Dress in SuitsThe morning filled with beauty and luster creeps slowly under the mangrove tree and anchored along the tropical coast where the skies, sea and my lover frequently meet. Something unusual was going on there that disperse tension in the atmosphere and the shrubs planted along the shores breeds a kind of bird that make their...

When the church said pray it awayWhen the church said pray it away
When the church said pray it away
To the elderly woman
Who lost her whole family
Not from just a gun
But from the system holding one
She had prayed
And prayed
And prayed
For her family's safety
And do you know what God did
He committed the ultimate sin
He killed them
But
It was...

Fulcrum of a roseMy Heart ~
the pump station of my love,
my affection.
Like petals of a rose—
the fulcrum of my fragrance...
attracting kindred souls to my life,
like bees and butterflies to a bloom.
Rip my heart open—
you won’t find anything else
but goodness and kindness ~
the fabric that clothes my being.
When broken—
the pain is sharp and immense,
like a twisting knife
ripping a soul...

The Color of KarmaIn the womb of stars where time was spun,
No race was born, no flag was won.
Only light and dark in sacred dance,
The pulse of cosmos, not of chance.
Day weds night in cosmic flame,
Black and white—neither curse nor shame.
The law of poles, the yin, the yang,
Creation's heartbeat, harmony sang.
But man—oh man, with ego blind,
Chose skin as...

Who benefits from my belief?Who benefits from my belief?
Because the last I checked it wasn't me
I mean I am a black girl
Living In a racist misogynistic world
Because why would I worship a god who allowed my people to suffer
Yet caters to the needs of our oppressors
Allows them to call us s
Why would I believe
Why would...
