Long Glass ceiling Poems

Herstory from Battlefields to Laboratories
-	Daniel Henry Rodgers

Beneath stardust's scattered gleam, 
Her-story, a comet’s tail, blazing across time.

Through seasons it molds
...Once hushed now bold
We rise, a chorus harmonizing, 
...In this vast, of an eternal fold.

I am...

Thus says He who guards the gate,
The atmosphere is stagnant,
Stagnant with discontented gluttons,
Tangled with tricks and deceptions,
Soaked with indoctrination,
And charged with foul breath. 

Thus says He who guards the gate,
The atmosphere is saturated,
Saturated with dirt...

Cast Down



I am a young girl with a delicate mind

to be molded,

Sitting in the front row with a pressed sundress 

and hands in dainty white gloves gently folded.  



My society is a cast system...

with a groundbreaking view on life,
millions of people watched his videos,
learned how to deal with daily strife.

her career not going so well,

I rejected form.
I rejected meter.
I rejected editing.
I rejected reading.

I'm a flash in the pan.
I'm fueled by emotions.
I'm emboldened by scars.
I'm challenged by time.

I wonder how far I could go
if I took the time to study.
If...

A Quote By Rod Serling:
 There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man... a dimension as vast as space and as timeless, as infinity. 

In a conceptual world of fifth dimension...

Ladies! Ladies!Ladies!!!
focus on your career
not on the barriers......
always pare yourself; to be the best version.....
all the time better than yesterday;
be greedy for your ambition.
Gambol with your passion.....
Why be in a glass slipper.....
unless you can break...

The lyrics are heavy I can't afford saying they are written in my heart with indelible paint
If I keep quite it will...

The farmer wakes to a great stir, a beast disrupts his brood,
But he can never catch his foe, for this beast shrewd.
He does not know he can’t contain this beast, for it is me,
He’s threatened,...

One in many tens,
She reaches the Moon,
The Moon is conspicuous,
It palpates the Sun.

An unwritten thaumaturgy,
You wonder her crime
She quivers in melancholy,
Crimson puddle of dreams & reality,
Why some colors never mix?

Pressed against the wall,
Beneath the invisible...

Please tell me once again
With your breath caressing my ear
Whisper all these sweet nothings to me
For I'll never tire of your voice
I'll never find you insufferable 
Start all over again and tell me for eternity


Come...

Secretly I listen to a conversation
Be plain speak up, why you mumbling listening in
opened the window just enough to eavesdrop on the conversation outside"

QUEEN

Is it alright to inform you that life is a sweet victory?
Is it alright to advise you to look at the world as such?
I am just here to empower.
Is it a prognosis that of nadirs?

Mnid playrugond a laynbirth mzaing plzuze.
Intricately woven words amaze with nuzzle.
Nurturing emotions, they ascend,
Delicate meanings, they transcend.

Piercing through the depths of the soul.
Liberating thoughts from their hidden role.
Awakening dormant expressions with grace.
Yielding to the poet's...

I can feel the walls closing in ...
I’m so afraid
of the pulmonary crumbling

The glass ceiling is falling,
shattered expectations of a jagged relation
pierces my Peter Parker abdomen

Serrated intimacy 
got a crimson cold carotid end
I don’t jugular...

What is Woke
Unbridled intention or activism shrouded by an enveloping cloak?
Doing Good
Embracing causes from some unwritten book.
Driving Equity
Is there some clarity or just another term for charity.
Pro-Choice
For set boundaries to be given a clear voice.
Gender-Neutral

So your great gran
was a suffragette
She fought for the right for women to vote
She thought that would make a woman equal,
put them on the same footing as a man
Looking back, that was misguided thinking

Glass Ceiling


Crouched here in the corner of the ceiling
watching myself – fighting to endure –
I stifle tears, for I am but his essence
growing dimmer as his color pales.

He struggles to make sense of life –...

Maybe the sun is just hiding from me

Just so everyone could see

Rough Landscape

In my mind the landscape of Guernica features high on the many
crowbars to unmask that inner prison of conscience and humanity

So many scenes of destruction with no predominant hierarchy of evil
no glass ceiling of...
