Long Impoverishment Poems

Imagine we live in an eco-normative story
of competing for wealth-commodities,
cash piled in quantifiable currencies,
collectively blinded to our Win-Win
natural economic,
ecological,
psychological,
biological health and well-being 
nurturing value roots.

One day, our PolyCultural Received View
unveils a co-operatively synergetic evolution

The number of folks sitting
on the back porch
waiting
for peace to strike,
like waiting for my garden to grow
without yet having planted it.

The number of people
noticing that chronic victims
suffer from critical victimization events,
minus the number who also...

Emotional fatigue courtesy exhaustive vituperative harangue...

Lobbed and unleashed upon the heads
of (yours truly and the missus)
so called selfish "monsters."

The evening of Wednesday April 19th
witnessed us (birth parents of our first born)
weathering blistering telephonic brickbats.

She (unnamed...

Increasing my laughter eyes full of tears invisibly 
Heart shouting help 
Limiting at my ears
Can't be spoken out loud

Faded destiny 
My quest fades in the deep of away
Embellishing my pain with smile
Held contempt of my...

A mental health difference
between being stuck
in an impoverished designation
and being stuck 
trying to merely survive
with mostly "Loser" marginalization
dehydration
ancient locked-up degeneration

Feels like same difference
between economic red-lined
unenlightened Othering
smothering suppression
and flat-lined politically disempowering
oppression

Feels like a thoughtful distinction
with a...

I STOLE FOOD TO SATISFY MY SOUL

I used to be poor;
Lonely dis-pared homeless;
Maturated, no one cares;
Haven't had any type of bath in twelve days;
And yes, I stole hungry and dirty;
I'm hungry and thirsty; 
I when...

I am a creature in this world
Made with heart, soul, and body
Despite of my impoverishment
I will fight for my dreams

Sun vanishes as the moon comes
And every time the darkness arrives
I'm lying on the peaceful surrounding
While...

I am corruption
A citizen of all Nations
The UN calls me complex social, cultural and economic phenomenon
Nevertheless, I do not mind
Countries of the world detest me publicly
However, they romance me secretly
So I relocated to Africa
To become...

AM I DREAMING
Momentarily, I stop and freeze 
every worldly movement and 
activity. As I consume myself 
into each one of them I ask 
myself, ‘am I dreaming?’ my 
mind moves to and fro the 
realm...

He Walked on Water

In my youth, I thought it was a farce!
Because I wanted man to be the great
overcomer, not a God!
And most assuredly I found, faith in 
man to be an absolute, total bummer!

The darling...

Access the memory pool
the eye inside

Maybe we’ll leave this life
go some place else
some place where this bitter taste
can be washed down sweeter
than anything we’ve ever felt 

I wonder if there’s a comets hymn 
or some...

THE BOY STARES AT YOU

He is raggedly scrunched up 
Against a wall of sweating bricks,  
Staring at you with as much pride
As life has thrown at him.

You see he has no desire to make
Conversation...

The world as I see it isn’t exactly rainbows and butterflies
More like a huge on and off storm
Gray and glum, barely freeing sunlight
Save the shiny trickling beams
Down the crevice within the clouds
Where the gloomy sky...

I see YouTube
and FaceBook
and other social media platforms
are not so happy
hosting PrivilegeTube
JustOurWhiteFaceBook
and other anti-social messengers.

Free speech advocates
are concerned about such censorious censorship.

Free listeners to rational reasons
and healthy seasoned pro-social advocates
may propose new antisocial media platforms,

But I believe in myself and I stand tall I’ only...

When does an outcome thoroughly blossom
through snow falls and brokenhearted sunsets?

great seductive beauty and temptation; 
recall religious impoverishment

I hear canaries crying, marginalized black birds
In zones of pain
I want therapy to bring wings more than words

The people pray but need a king to march again
If you are silent
You concede the betrayal like a...
