Premium Member Fullcolor Revolutions
We might
we must
we mightily engage color's radical invitation
toward democracy,
in which black camouflages equal opportunity,
creolizes equivalent enculturations
of diversity's tones and hues
and historic chilling cries.

We could thereby release
this collective stranglehold on white
as might
and right
or fight

Premium Member Fr Time's Bicameral Homily
Time echoes and resonates without language,
invests in green triumphal backdrop,
below misty blue sky,
spotted
blossomed in yellows and spindling purples
blues and flaming orange,
fragile moments of fully fertile tone
bilateral shapes and colors,
flagrant erections of next generation's timely hope
for...

One of Life’s indisputable facts:
Government reserves the right to tax;
And tho’ they waste far more than they should,
It’s supposedly done “for the common good.”

Economists use the word “propensity,”
Just a fancy word for “odds”, you see:
The...

Victorian Poverty In London.
.
Slumming it in adverse poverty
In Victorian London’s  
Limehouse White Chapel and Bethnal Green 
Dingy doss houses packed to the brim
Narrow dirty streets with cobbles
And loud cartwheel din
.
Large families sharing one room
Overcrowded...

What Is Your Answer
His head lifted, and looking for his brothers, 
He found his mum, sanely able again to relate to him, 
Cold, death-like figure, icy face, warm outline of a kin, 
Grieving, her brave face emanated hope...

Tom Mboya Ndiege
Tom Mboya, son of Ndiege
From the craggy islands of Rusinga
--the craddle of his progenitors
He sprouts like avens in the loamy knoll
And out to the urbs he sets off his journey
A parlous journey to his martyrdom

ON A BAD DAY
By Leon Enriquez


To know the way
True purpose seek
As truth now plays
When vision peaks


Pique your own think
In fruitage ripe
The right verge brink
Hides in sad gripe

When people see you
In a bad light
Unleash...

Imagine DNA as architectural color design,
regenerative blueprint,
but written in fugue fractal songs,
no two exactly identical 
except for twins.

Each species shows some shared architectural greyscale function
like staffs holding up a linear musical score
for counting eighth and...

The idiocy of color-ism keeps me awake!
I see us all in a twit over something insane.
I am white, Caucasian they call it.
But will we all have to have tests one day to prove such 
idiocy?

Perfect match of nature

Have hand in hand 
Before the king of death
The Corona Virus attacks on the city.

Unaware of dangers 
From unseen little warrior 
Smiling faces smile...

This may come as large surprise,
but I did once take a beginner's poetry class
which I often confuse with my beginner parenting class.

In which we learned good verse
and voice
have structure
pattern
imprinting rhythm
rich metaphoric content
perhaps even epic regenerative...

Hometown

Our children, our families, our cities,
A shining reflection of our respect.
We are doing our best, while some
giant companies with great cheek,
Do their utmost to ruin the world.
With brazen and inhumane recklessness.

In turn, we the people,...

Guardian Angel
Bullets are whizzing by, 
walls caving in,
calling forth hue and cry, 
we are shut in.
Nothing I have to lend, 
nothing to sell.
Don't be afraid, my friend, 
all shall be well.


Vows of fidelity 
never been kept,

Premium Member Stricter Gun Control Legislation
Gun control measures fall on the GOP’s deaf ears
As a hue and cry goes up for stricter gun legislation,
Right-wing-leaning politicians have their NRA fears. 

I suspect we’ll see in the Congress great hesitation

Upset Humans
We killed insects in our house without any remorse
We swept clean anthills in our garden without any afterthought
We trampled on insects while walking

We cut trees, made many homeless
We ventured into forests, killed for flimsy reasons

Today's headline: Mass vaccination in Africa begins in mid-2021

Wildfires do not pause for water hose, their seething pain not soothed by
a retard, life's full of
pose and repose when fairness reigns, otherwise
it's forfeited to vulgar lust....

A Shameful Few
Chip away at the surroundings,
To get to the spoils inside.
Mindless of devastation,
Or the pain as a nation cries.

Off in a new direction,
The agenda must be upheld.
Global unification?
A very grim fairy tale!

Greed on their back as...

Hope Less But Hopeful
Tranquility inside;
Tenderness within;
That’s my home, 
My mommy’s womb.

Fervently coveting to unite;
With the near and dear;
Certainly, shall indeed arise as a limelight;
Anxiously until…..

I heed loud screams, hue and cry;
Began to toss rapidly within,
Mommy began to run...
