On Independence Day
I declare  independence 
from American imperialism.
I declare U.S. out of Iraq.
And while I am at it
the C.I.A. out of the business
of supplying murderous thugs
with rifles and uniforms 
along with the strategies 
to...

The world is a cold place. 
The powerful conscript
 the poor for war 
so that profits soar.

I tried to run, to run so far away.

Being called for this task so noble,
The task, so hard and sweet,

Eleanor Rigby?, Huh!, who the heck is she,
honestly though, never heard of her, or her of me.
Upon meeting her, maybe to think she's rather keen,

Western education,
Taught us everything.....
Everything, that is......

It taught us about
Early man, slavery and slave trade 
It taught us to,
Turn to the right cheek
When smacked on the left cheek


It taught us that
The white man discovered Africa,
The earth...

the injustice of
the powder blue box
standing proudly
on the corner of
fifty-seventh and fifth

A symbol of division
extending the partition
between wealth and
everyone else

back around the way
the old shabby
half shingled house

was home to the
second hand charlie brown
size thirteen shoes

worn...

virtual plea coming black enamel blu tooth

I stood in the graveyard all alone, 
With no-one else beside my ship, 
But nature seemed near to me, 
As it was marked repeatedly hip. 

Rows and rows of specific dates, 
Epitaphs of stories set...

To give us health
We took His stripes
To gain our wealth

He gave up His crown
To redeem our thorns
We took His crown
To blow our limitless horns

He gave us His tears
To soak our enslaved ground

The rider phoned emergency services.
The services scrambled to reach the spot

Words from perforated ceiling tiles squawk
as megaphone filters blare
in crackled sequence
around missing stations
and call letters that aren’t acronyms

as opening our eyes

while reporting...

A gentlefellow and maiden intermingle
on curiosity's swing-seated rest.

Vulnerableness is compressed between them,
as if a violet's caress requested their presence.

Harmony's tones are blown through the air,
like lilac's laughter scattering

as jasmine's megaphone hums.
Music's smooth movements dance within...

 Emptiness with the faint sounding echo
 I swallow hard fighting back the tears
 Looking at the walls bland art deco

 I wish my brain used a megaphone
 And my heart could...
