MidwestOutside "Cilo" history lays

a story etched, with a life all its own
Within the cracks, it settles in...

Revolution By ImmigrationIn lands unknown, we plant our dreams
Hearts unite, as hope redeems
With each journey, change now streams
Now, they are throwing us out by all means

My First Ever PoemDown a grassy lane,
I trudged beneath pale blue skies,
a rambling spirit,
vivid scenic hues a spur,
to a literary verse
Images abound,
for me to seize and savour,
in a magic whirl,
or vortex as I ponder,
shrouds of verdant silhouettes
Hedges, bird...

Promised Land
I have to be patient, and not too concerned
About the things I can’t manage
If some of the stones I left lying unturned
For this I cannot be disparaged
The island is so overcrowded and small
New comers arrive...

Wish Upon A CayI've always wished
to live on an island.
No problem with sacrificing
deceit and shallow dialogue
for the song of gull and sanity
bowls of lye and cold
for pans of warmth
the soothing sand
The details to be worked...

Somewhere On Foot Part Two“Oh please don’t worry.
I haven’t a heightened sixth sense… about the mint infused lilt here.”
There must be a compass without a point surrounding me
“Looking for directions.
The town you’re seeking is a few winding roads and...

Too AmericaToo many women with fewer choices
Too many kids dodging bullets in fear
Too many in danger for just being *****
So many attempts to silence our voices
Too many immigrant lives at stake

Dawn Raid v2A sudden crash awakens the night.
Thundering boots stomp,
heightening fear.
Little spots of light dart across the room. A half-naked man, bewildered and angry,
a wall of blue invaders violated his castle.
Pinned to his bed, with a truncheon...

A Starry Night
Every day, every night,
I see the starlit light.
Stars continuously twinkling,
Like glitters softly sprinkling.
I often behold the sky,
Dreaming of a time to fly.
When those objects start to shine,
I feel their presence, sheer divine.
Thinking of soaring high,
Alas,...

Immigration problemsAll these politicians seem to agree
The immigrants are responsible
For the poor economy
They've come here taking jobs
No employment for our own
They're being housed in luxury
Multi generational homes
They're coming in on boats
Theyre coming...

Lady Liberty CriesLady Liberty Cries
I could be wrong, but I’m alarmed.

They are poisoning our society.

Sugar Maple Home
To be left bare to all rhyme and most reason
From gnarled wounds of sweet nectar eaten
A Mother whom suckled life, now weakened
Still they come in glee, lapping there the given
In her bloomed bouquet of chronomantic...

They Eat Good Hot DogsThey consume the hot dogs
Too
Like you
But they don’t eat the dogs
Never, never
They do not eat the cats
They do not eat the pets
Never, never.
Immigrants eat the wild hogs
That’s hot Griot
They don’t eat the rabbits
But they eat...

When It's Spring Forget not WinterWhen the sky seems clear and the ocean so calm
Forget not the screams you hear and the broken bow charm
When the food fills stomach and the water quinches thirst
Forget not the hunger of heirs...
