I don’t deserve
This kind of punch to my pride
You used your best left hook, uppercut and jab to my ego
Here desperately griping the corner of the ring
Unable to believe the idea
That he ever felt that...

Now as I account for myself
I know the fight is over
   You made me feel if I was worth saving
I was worth having
And I knew as the man flattered to grow

Happy 5th birthday have you accepted rape into your life,
It's a patriarchal practice built from sadism and male strife,

by a magnetic avoidance of loneliness,
fueled by an insatiable ardor
to evade a shortage of love.
Mutually splintered souls searching

The cosmos baffles all train of thought,
Though man has extended his reach and he has sought.
Telescopes now peer up at distant stars,

'Keep a stiff upper lip' is another cliché

Meandering through a meadow of ideas,
Seeking truth among noxious weeds I find

Accepting new concepts; discarding previous,

Tossing thoughts...

Steam driven ashes and lava from volcanoes
Obscure tomorrows
Exploding from bean pods and tomatoes
Beseeching and seeking halos

Our lives require

Inspire and inquire
Whether a new berth

Becomes of the essence
In the path the future offers

Stand up tall and be counted,
join the mighty force.
Make sure to be united,
so there is no remorse.

Rusty braids of disheveled hair
She offered me a dash of hate

With her wrinkled upper lip
Clenched fists on unwanted hips
