Generational Curse
It will be there in the morning It will be there at night Pull on your boxing gloves And swing with all your might You hit hard Though it’s never enough Be on your guard Things are about to get rough A never ending battle With that unseen enemy In your head words rattle Words like addiction, abuse, poverty You will attempt to run and...

Generations
I often ponder about the perpetuous anathema in my household, because growing up, that abominable behavior was quite normalized. I’ve always heard derogatory, disrespectful remarks or comments, God, they’re so standardized; my conception was that being unique deserved aberration. Though, younger me questioned why I only heard these discriminating words and bigoted lies in my own house;...

Another Midnight Massacre
All through wee hours of the morning Laminga wail their missing persons, mourning And the track road leading into Amurum forest Stained with droplets of blood down the terraced Searching into sunrise by Lafon river parts headless corpses, dissected body parts littered everywhere, now unidentifiable As indigo chirps, tension grew so palpable This was another midnight massacre When men slept, this ambush occur Bukuru have...

Generational Chains
A light flickers to start the chain & a spark is born that grows to flame It was conceived to break the chains that plague the line & bring the rain The family trees full of sour fruit have tried in vain to stay the course The forest fire will sweep the land & burrow deep to uproot the source It's not a...

My Family's First Generational Curse Breaker
MY FAMILY'S FIRST GENERATIONAL CURSE BREAKER In a lineage burdened by shadows past, There emerged a soul, destined to outlast. The first generational curse breaker they became, A beacon of hope, bearing a different name. Through the tapestry of time, their path did unravel, With courage and strength, they chose to travel. Breaking the chains that held their kin, They set forth...

The newest generational divides in America today part two
Many members of the two youngest generations used to describe themselves as being "Nones," believing in no religion at all. But in the process they have decreed themselves to being their own gods by deifying themselves in the process.

Premium Member Generational Rifts
Remember holding your first born child? The wonder of this newborn mesmerized you… Remember when they took their first step? How proud you were as they turned and smiled at you… Remember when they said, that precious first word? The joy of hearing them articulate clearly… Remember when they started school? How you held back the tears, they grow so fast! Remember when...

Generational Holocausts
The term understates, underrates the invisible numbers, after the headlines, the quieted dead dwindle to less than extraordinary. Violence and cultural blight are seen as side effects of affluence, a benign wind of change and not the culling, winnowing and genocide of a Nation sleepwalking into madness. Clubbing seal cubs portends a rage for mass murder. The tail wags the dog and the offended march away to slaughter strangers. Generation...
