Commodities.

Traded as rapidly as futures,
sold to bidders, 
merchants of misery,
bought and herded,
into cattle-cars, vans, 
containers sailing,
on the seven open seas.

Women, men, 
girls, boys,

him in his sorrow. 

My heart 
sees, the pain
he tries to hide, 
behind the smile.

My heart
hears, the anguish
in his voice,
as he speaks.

My heart

he suffers,
with his loss.

Politics for Better or Words 
(The Narrative Version)

Politics, by nature, nurtures pathological indecisiveness.

______________________________________________________________

Where nonexistent boundaries sway,
Lines avoided, boundaries blurred,
Mirrors reflect a world absurd.

A soul that has sight beyond a wise mood. 
The sultry shade that mirrors exude
A temper indicative...
