…And I finally sat down,
After last minute shopping, running all over town. 
Deciding to rest now, I opened my phone
To visit the Soup and read a few poems.

When you go to school
You are measured and assessed

When you...

Remember it just like yesterday 
'Twas the sixth of August, independence day
Manley called the election, Busta took the drive
New nation at UN assembly, Jamaica arrived
Topsy turvy, hurly burly, brick brack, nick nacks
All this wondorous excitement
Ever...

‘Hey stomach,’ says anus,
‘Would you cut the crap.’
“It’s not me,’ stomach says;
‘I won’t take the wrap.

At organ...

No longer visits this nonchalant psyche.
It trickles now, once a roaring torrent
Now a lazy stream

Am like a desultory jaded heaven
Where starry jewels once decked the night,
But are now drossy shadowy blackholes,

ABIDING IN THE STAGE OF PEARLS

When first we met,
Red paper hearts,
Sailor-Clipped,
Arrows piquing interest.

Out with infighting and lack of general respect,
Let’s restore our Congressional reputation
Rank partisanship and grandstanding
While padding their own coffers, I expect!

Let’s rid ourselves of all the current trolls
“Let’s throw the bums out,” it has been...

The world is weary,
weary of the fear but 
afraid for the future.
Political campaigns
ugly and growing uglier,
airwaves choked with
insults and outright lies.
Hate thrives and turns
friend against friend.
The Covid pandemic lurks
in wait outside our doorstep,
invisible, threatening health
and...

confined within the only light
the crushing dark surrounding
we hold together for the best
corruptions cries are sounding
behold compounded human might
untiring in our righteous fight
confined within the growing light
