Premium Member Prior To Intent
Line of inquiry: "hearts set up a vibration echoing as wordless intent mind translates in symbols flight of our soul’s ascent is intent then a stirring of soul with God conferring" My one heart as a part of humanity's great heart, spiritually holds the indwelling God presence as sought. A human hold shiftily slants and grows knots tied fraught with false-held, gloomy feels that...

Premium Member American Migrants
Why do we give them employment let them come here and build a new life Never give them a permanent status make them live on the edge of a knife They pick most of the crops that we purchase care for children, disabled and old Yet they’re forced to survive in the shadows live in silence, and do what they’re told We are...

When just a lad, I thought I was magic, Doing a trick can sometimes be tragic. The bird sang the wrong song, The rabbit was long gone, When they booed, I got very dramatic. ...

Premium Member MacArthur Park on ICE
They were never waiting for us girl. They were one step ahead though they never had a case. Between the streets and highways they would chase and hunt us down like rats just to put us "in our place." MacArthur Park is trending in the news, all the big bad ICE men going round, looking for some brown folks to detain. I don't think that...

Premium Member Nativist Riots, Kensington Philadelphia
Sit down, and let me tell you, son, about the historic district, Kensington, in the year eighteen-forty-four, when the streets broke out in war.  The Irish-Catholic were new arrivals, impoverished, fighting for survival. The existing population was disquieted, and so, Philadelphia nativists rioted. It was then that false rumors were passed. In a bad light, the Irish were cast, Propaganda and lies, the devil's tools, "They want...

OF MASTERING TODAY’S TIMES Controversy has its place, as to disagree does not necessarily mean to disavow; save in the event 0f conspiracy to subvert justice, and void the rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness:- Today’s controversy over power in America, has become so conspiratorial that it has reached the point of bastardizing much ideology of the founding constitution of our...

Bones Remain Alive
Loitering around at the expense of my parents back, I too wish to be at the resemblance of hardworking thumbs, those same fingers that sewed the futile grounds back home, my mother’s yuca farm, my father's dying crops, dance taking their final waltz with the tumble- weeds in direction where my ancestors sleep while their bones continue...

Silent One in the Skies
The morning is walking in its own pride And courage is leaning by my side The sun is rising up from the east and fire is burning in the belly of the beast Morning is shining all over the place And the evening sun is melting their faces Strange things are happening in town And the multitude is moving around With bags...

Separated by a passport and 8000 miles - An Acrostic Sonnet
Calling over a blurry video, As much emotion as static would allow, Natheless I knew you missed me; your kiddo I can see it in your eyes and wrinkles now. Ever since I boarded the plane for distant lands, Venturing zealously for a better life Excitement eclipsed the price of my plans; Repenting now I didn’t kiss goodbye. Recalling sweat and all the...

What was I saying
I don't want to imply that it was bad. but what I've seen is drenched in black. And I don't want to feel this way for you. So scrape me out of you, and I'll lead you out of me. I don't want to live this way for you. Only time will tell how this will end there's to many scars...
