Long Charlottesville Poems

"Let's Make America Great Again!" *Sigh*
Great catch phrase! But...It's a ruse!...It's a lie!
Let's put the cards on the table! Shall we...Why?
(Your Brothers and Sisters will probably die!)
The words are the shallows of a deeper intent
Meant...

A mob of angry activists
go and deface a public street,
they painted that ‘Black Lives Matter,’
and the mayor said,”That’s fine with me.’
But when someone spoke of baby lives
they would not let them have their say,
when some...

The heirloom, Neo-classical, Palladian, almost as old as light, was mine from conception, so, when the latchkeys were placed over Simian crease, 
I put my ears to the hardwood floor, listening for the cacophony of...

When she woke up that day she had a body.
She had no reason to imagine that by the time night fell
she would be a person the whole world was mourning.

When she woke up she was...

Publican politicians talk in half-price right angles
Dodge City liberty
being smoking barrel bargain sold 
at a chill, 
Colt-45 degrees
AC (alcoholic crops) bootleggers selling 
Prohibition license to breathe

Drunken Al Capone clones
riding shotgun, 
spit spraying
automatic fire taxable oppression

Seasoned...

Three days late,
and a dollar of truth short
No condemnation of neo-Nazi hate,
no negative KKK report
Only tweet silence was heard ...

late that night
Shouting ethnic...

Some recalled Kristallnacht,
the white mob’s facial fever,
once the same fever of a night,
now the fever of a day-mare.

Some recalled Charlottesville,
the white mob’s lust for blood,
once the same blood craved,
now the blood of a purgatory.

Some recalled...

Carry me to my home Virginia
Headed south through Arlington
We can stop off in Manassas
On our way to Lovingston

Take me back to the Peaks of Otter
Let's return to Mabry Mill
We can drive the Blue Ridge Parkway
From...

Dedication: Heather Heyer, Paralegal (Charlottesville, VA)

A Governor named Terry understands fake Supremacy
Microcosm of America, terrorism in Virginia
In the Name of History and a Statue (of General Lee)

I saw Nazis march yesterday
upon the streets of Charlottesville.
And, with swastikas on display,
crazed clansmen chanted blood will spill.

I saw Satan grinning with pride
at racial slurs shouted in hate.
And, bigots standing by his side
help the violence...

Robert e Lee was a treasonous ole soul
To defeat the republic his goal

Slavery was abolished the people were free
But only two third a southern decree

The republic with stood the brutal onslaught
Capturing the rebels stopping the...

Trump is the power
The voice of a nation
A moneyman, no morals or ethic code
A narcissist born for a life in capitalization
A nuclear bomb Desperate to explode

Trump's time in office has been a terrible show,
His speeches...

Where Heads Butt in the USA or

I Don't Believe in Bodily Harm

 

What we all did was to dilly dally

And our rear ends ended up in Raleigh;

Then later on back of little Billy Goat

In that darkest of time at Charlottesville 
When hate ruffled their minds
And madness erupted in kind
But dumb Trump bluffed in haste,
Hate, hastes, I was dazed, 
As wicked drove on Heyer in sour taste!
Both sides he claims...
