Premium Member The Berlin Wall
Drenched in tears, I wrench in response to the pain I sense. Caused by wrong desirers, walls, guards, and the electric fence. Put here to stop free choice by man, To keep him from becoming all that he can. To hold imprisoned, crushing hopes and dreams. To in flick hurt and pain, I can hear the screams. Today, though they’ve been...

To the White Rose of Germany , In memory of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose resistance group
In halls where silence cloaked the dread, You raised a voice, though fear had spread. With leaflets fluttering like doves in flight, You lit a candle in the night. Not with guns, nor iron might, But truth and courage, fierce and bright. A rose in winter, pure and still, Defying hate with steadfast will. Your words, like whispers through the air, Asked hearts to...

Premium Member WITH HOPE FAITH IN THE PROMISE
WITH HOPE AND FAITH IN THE PROMISE Like roaring rivers flowing under bordering bridges, Cascading over, under, and around blocking stones, So must we be as we continue to struggle Along the freedom road to promise equanimity:- As we encounter injustice’s walls of opposition, Let us approach them as remnants of Jericho: Their fate and destiny, victims of fortitude...

Ancient Egyptian translation of 'Dialogue of a Misanthrope with his Soul'
Metaphor and simile have been with the human race for thousands of years.

Burch Death lies before me: like a...

Maybe
The whisper of a promise The hope of a new dawn The sun rises with curiosity Of what might come along Of who might change the world An elderly black woman sits Basking in the sunlight to reminisce Of a life far from bliss Where pain was embedded in her blood And childhood was an unfamiliar experience...

Premium Member Growing Old
You’re only as old as you feel some say. How will it feel on your eightieth birthday? Everything’s quieter and harder to see. Not everyone, just seems like it to me. Portions are smaller as we sit and dine. When we do drink it’s but one glass of wine. No longer can we just turn on a dime. And it gets harder...

Us be grateful for what?
Let them eat cake But with no hands And a mouth sewn shut Why us Why must we suffer with crumbs And be grateful To be grateful when slavery ended When in fact it was they who started it To feed us poison instead of the antidote Then feign confusion to why it didn't work The world sees you as a victim And...

Folded in Ink and Stars
A banner flutters in miniature pride, stars frozen mid-waltz, stripes folding like gentle waves— a tiny chorus of red, white, blue. I imagine the seam of that paper flag, its edges serrated like hopeful teeth, waiting to bite into air, to sail across neighborhoods on whispered wings. Each star is a promise— a small light in a massive sky. Each stripe, a pulse: resilience, unity, churned...

Premium Member Two legged Toxins
When they become a toxin in your mind when they steal, lie and threaten your life even if their blood it's time to cut ALL ties. Your heart was not meant to be used as a spittoon your mind was not meant to be used as a trampoline for their a flimsy-half assed sobriety. Walk away, cut them loose...

Sins
We sparkle when we feel aligned We flicker when its too much inside. Overstimulated when sanity is compromised. Flash there goes time, and you Lived a life full of sin without confessions. Always thinking he will save me. Yet, you overcompemsated for your own lack of time, causing a pause the day before the end of time....
