Soaking in past dread – all the words that you’ve said

I'm in bondage, is this a dream
I'm governed by extremes
Let's leave this land of tyranny

Dictatorship,...

Valuable gemstones beneath earth’s crust,
A fertile soil nurtured by divine tears from above,
And a blazing smile of radiant sun
But great depression has its hands gripped
On the heart...

I Can’t Breathe
 
My Country, I ask of thee,
why do you still hate me?
America the Beautiful,
why, why, am I scorned and reviled,
your unwanted dark child?
 
With your knee on my neck,

gasping for breath..
gasping for breath…
waiting...

SLIDING FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOP

Chase the dream of Moses: the gleamed glory
From the mountain top veiled by...

Give me your poor and downtrodden,
‘Cause they don’t ever vote.
Cast your ballots in late fall or winter.
For those without a coat,

Set up precincts to far to walk,

As I sit here
There are so many things
I could write about
There are so many things 
That I just want to shout
My life is a mess
And so is my country
As part of this conciousness
I sometimes imagin
What...

A soft touch from the sandman
Light faded away with the night's lace,
The sun knelt with a last, weak scan

Stars embroidered the sky,
Leaves of sheets fell upon the clouds
The cold pervaded through...

Oh say can you see,
  Not your ordinary letter from me.

  You might enjoy a parade and some fireworks too,
  Just to remember the red, white, and blue.

  Or sing the national anthem before your favorite quarterback kicks,
  To...

A poem about me?  Seriously?
That makes me laugh deliriously.
To think that I could ever be
A poem's subject, tickles me.
But if you were to Google my name,
You'd find I have some claim to fame.
This electronic...

To honor the living and those who sleep 'neath hallowed clay.

Oh land of the free
And home of the brave, where are you?
Where is the torch that hearkens
The tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to be free?
When did freedom of religion
Become acceptance of
Only one religion?

weapons for war,
weapons of force 
for military conflict, nothing more.

intent to hurt and terrorise
roam freely the streets
of cities ruined when bombs rain the skies,
guns are...
