which is rather like Christianity--
often communion preached
and seldom democratically and multiculturally proficient,
fruitful,
viral,
contagious,
multiplying economic loaves
and politically empowering fish.
Capital-rooted values
derive from tribal chiefs,

Herstory from Battlefields to LaboratoriesHerstory from Battlefields to Laboratories
- Daniel Henry Rodgers
Beneath stardust's scattered gleam,
Her-story, a comet’s tail, blazing across time.

Mongolophobia and the Eastern HordeNeither a fable,
Nor a tale,
This is a fact,
A story to tell,
To everyone, female and male.
To generations, younger and frail.
About a threat, a monster from the East,
That struck the world like a beast,
Attacked Europe...

Blinks Through Bloodshot WalksWhen at five-thirty
In the rubbed-eye haziness
Of ferreting lonesome night walks

Peers out of his high turbanned sockets:
Hyde Park's through road links
London's diurnally estranged couple -
The Arch and Gate.

The Voice of My AncestorsEvery morning

Deeper than my raven beard
Deeper than my mocha complexion
Laden with marks
Of life's wear and tear
And high cheek bones
I see multitudes
From across...
