Judgement DayBirthday, Christmas Day, Fourth of July
Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving, ain’t gonna lie
Holiday, Holy Day, Fifth Monday
Every day, all day, not a fun day
Each day, every day is Judgement Day
Each day, every day is Judgement Day
They look at you
They weigh you
They measure you
Any way they can
They find you wanting
They find you lacking
They find you missed the mark

A Poet’s Syntax on Trial"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language." (W. H. Auden)
They sit in their glass-paneled chambers, these judges,
tuning their ears to the hum of silicon—
eyebrows raised at every metaphor
too deft, too dressed, too drenched in sense.
Who wrote this? they ask, tapping screens
that blink like oracles but lie like...

STRONGER THAN YOU THINKOh, my, unexpected foe, “when you read my poems
you wrongly judged me, and in a demeaning tone
shouted, “Do you ever write poems that are not sad?”
Dear disguised friend, you had me defending what
I wrote bringing me back to past sadness I had long
overcome causing me to second guess my triumphs.
When I told you about...

The Face In The MirrorVisage stark and eyes of steel
He shares my thoughts and what I feel
And seems to know more than I’ve known
The face in the mirror sees through me.
He knows my faults, my secret sins
And bears no mercy without or within
Judgement swift cuts to the bone
The face in the mirror weighs me
Dreams and goals, schemes and plans
He...

FORGIVEN AND EXCUSED-No, I forthwith forgiven you as I held the door open to my heart you ripped up
My arms and hands released you from the embracement
For thou I have so forgiven you for what I’ve done and we do
In the truth of the matters we are both sadden by the view
Of the empty room one entering...

If our hair was on trialIf our hair was on trial
And it was called to testify
And tell the truth
Of what the world put it through
It tells the stories
Of all the hairstyles
That it was
It starts with when it was cornrows
It takes the jury back to the fields
Where the blistering heat
Sucked the life out of it
But it tells us a secret
Kept hidden...

Does A I Have A GodDoes A.I. Have A God
A.I. taking over mankind.
It will be our own demise.
It’s in our nature to destroy ourselves.
Cyborgs taking over.
No human contact.
Robots on the atack.
Terminate society.
Mankind becomes slaves to the machines.
No food, no drink.
Technology becomes a new God.
Knowledge consumes us.
End of times...

StripOpen your eyes
Open your ears
Open your mouth
Open your hands
Open your mind
Open your heart
They are all things that are doable by man
Judgement has taken on human form
He's running amuck throughout our land
Putting fear in many people that cross his path
Causing death and destruction anywhere he can
Don't let judgement strip you of your self esteem...

Tiger's EyeI levitated from the lions den
I rose to the sky with a golden crown
covered in emeralds and diamonds on my head
Now it's time to take back what's mine ! I said with fury
Another beautiful day! everything that could've killed me
I overcame, I am proud to still be standing
Grateful for every second and...

InjusticeLocked up in a cage.
But the beasts are allowed to roam.
The lights are dimming and the darkness grows thick.
It is like a mirror on the wall.
Reflecting everything in which you desire but can never have.
Those who takes gets.
And those who gives loses.
The scales have broken.
And you sit alone.
Crying on your throne....

An Illicit TrystThe sick and the injured had been his whole life
He’d never found time to ensnare a good wife
He’d slept with a patient and soon was arrested
“It just happened once,” to the court he attested
He’ll run no more x-rays, he’ll set no more bones
He’d made the mistake that no jury condones
No more operations, no drugs to...

The Hat ManI went on a stroll.
Same lit up signs stare,
While I wear the same hat,
As the same strangers glare.
Absorbed in my own despair,
Walking beside the same street,
Wishing you’d be there.
Same windows,
Same street lights,
Same hat, that you used to wear.
Now strangers stare.
I’m a monster, they yell.
If only they knew,
What I went through,
All because of...

A Judgment Day Dialogue: Matthew 25 for 2025And the Lord will say to them on Judgment Day,
“I was hungry, and you defunded my food aid programs.
I was thirsty, and you rolled back drinking water protections.
I was a stranger, and you snatched me and deported me.
I was naked, and you gave tax breaks to billionaires.
I was sick, and you cut Medicaid and Medicare.
I...
