Long Heartlessness Poems

Instead of building your house on the sand,

and do I mourn for myself, or for the poor,...

Open hearts to victims of neglect
In communities immunized from kindness
Hardened by design to the core to select
The affluent whose blindness and fondness for coldness and heartlessness

Shunt aside concerns of the bottom of the pyramid
Whose human...

Encultured bodies teach in binary history
of masculine elite win/lose entitled living dominance
and feminine non-elite sadly dying recessive
bipolar cultures.

Elite white straight males
of Western mind
and patriarchal heartlessness
learn to produce predative efficient seeds
donated to preferably receptive women
to carry

I raced to Wal-Mart for that last minute gift.

I was born       the day after
the Black Plague of hate revived
Hope vanished

As we grow closer, the heart changes, 
And sometimes it becomes empty,
People who loved us once, seemed happy with our love,

They say they haven't...

The taker of us all before our time,
you grimly reap a myriad of souls,
cruelly stealing many in their prime,
and countless young and innocent
have you whisked ruthlessly away!
Oh, death Malevolent!
Why this utter heartlessness that...

What about heart-rending?
Does it kill?
How many have died so far?
Who are those?

It is not going to be permanent
It is just a rent not rend
Who benefits more by the way?

for its transformation into its adult form
as a winged moth.

The myriads of unmarked graves in the cemetery
Presenting miserable image of human heartlessness
Uncared and unsung by near, dear all and sundry
Forsaken and abandoned, victim of unkindness

Which one of them holds my mother’s remains?
My angel, my...

to make an old man happy who once had a family of five
but now only he and one other are alive

somehow he had survived...

A man so evil, his eyes are those of snakes.
His presence makes the occupants fill with rage,
But only to fear. Lots of fear.
His way is of the coyote, so sly with his pray. 
My heart's...

when terror strikes so does love 
disrupting lives, not all of us 
heartlessness makes hearts go out 
from evil air our love will sprout 
try to break us then we’ll unite 
try to take us...
