Premium Member LETS KEEP OUR LIBERATING CUPS OVERFLOWING

Always pouring mine into his saucer; And here is what, to me, he...

Resistance
Their violence Our defiance Their complaint Not our debate Their envy Fuels our energy Their violence We won't be silenced Their ignorance Can't bother us Our energy They aren't ready Our voice They have no choice Our power They are sour Our strength They try to destroy by going to these great lengths Can you finally understand The matter at hand Do you...

BETWEEN THESE LINES
_______________________________________ Between these lines A poem starved of meaning lies Begging for redemption From injustice, hatred, and corruption. This poem is a mother One who stayed long after he left, the father. A young woman tracing love with blind hands A girl in a world where her rights are mistaken for demands. This poem is meaningless As spineless as a snail It makes no call...

Justice
They say Justice is blind But one person Who cares only about themself Gets to decide what justice is? If justice Is sending an innocent man Away From his family, His friends, His life, No trial, Because you don’t like his tattoo Is justice, I want no part of it. Can you not see If it can happen to him It can happen to anyone. Because he came here Illegally Is he less human? Does anyone...

Overcoming the Storm
OVERCOMING THE STORM Into the storm I must venture, knowing that any attempt to flee only prolongs the ravages. Like any storm, it is relentless and destructive, just as a well-organized group of savages. It rips and tears at the flesh with sharp talons, trying to gouge deeper into the muscle. Perceived as high and lofty, it disregards...

Imported Justice
The sovereign seal, a nation's solemn vow, Embossed on parchment binding here and now. Its statutes etched in native tongue and stone, A people's will, distinctly, fiercely known. But whispers rise on winds that cross the sea, Of courts unseen and laws that disagree. A tapestry unfurls with threads of blue and gold, Woven in halls where other tales are told. "Universal rights,"...

Premium Member The Disloyal Justices
They once were held in high esteem the pride of each judicial dream The ones who have the final word when arguments have all been heard Their loyalty was guaranteed all virtuous, in thought and deed Nine beacons of integrity the last step in democracy But privilege has hidden flaws where Justices corrupt the laws...

IN THE LAND OF PEACE
Once upon a time in a faraway land There was an old man, who had forgotten how to speak His eyes would stare into the sky, void of any emotion, His scars turned wrinkles narrated an untold story His hands, never steady, always counting Sometimes in the middle of the day, he would scream But no sound would escape his mouth,...
