Late evening March 2045

The Teenagers were adventurous 
They were venturing.  DJ and 
Damali Trech were both 18 years 
Old. The Copy Cat Club was the
Place to  be for teens.  It mostly 
Served...

where she stops no one knows,

The forces of nature are being perverted, turning good into bad, and the bottom line, 
the key to it all is profit.

Our Constitution, page-by-page, provides a guide from age-to-age.
As citizens our views consist of strict or loose constructionists.
Yet, we should keep - we can agree - a free, but just, society
Though Freedom isn't strictly free, we...

[Written in December 2009 while at the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen]

The plank is of a long, strong wood

With edges round for measures good

Small steady steps the toddler walks

While politicians stall the talks

Three fifty steps...

2018- A year of mixed emotions:
Where the happiness of becoming a US resident,
Was soon subsided by parting ways with a special friend.
Where making preps for Mom's retirement,
Was soon overshadowed by sad demise of the most...

In the little town called Cleveland
Some many years ago
In a high school gymnasium
Met a group of girls and boys
Since early in their childhood
They were plagued by many peers
Because they lacked
The perfect look
Like many other kids

Shapeshifters, and or, shapeshifting ... preps our world always,
A speck sans a cavass, ... materializes a work of art,
At spans of reckoning, ... outlandish...

Where I am From 
I am from the old fashion days 
from the yes mams and no sirs, to 
the slips with a dress or skirt 
from dust particles in my nose 
(from cleaning floor...

If God came down and walked on earth
He would see bombs going off where His son was given birth
He wouldn’t see people treating their body like temples of God
He would also see other making fun...

I've been set aside
As if I should hide
I'm the social outcast
Let's see how long this lasts

I walk down the street
So may people to meet
But I see none to talk
So I guess I'll just walk

Saturday night...

a beaten path which leads to a place time forgot

this old dusty road lined with trees on either side
taking me back to the only place i've ever truly felt at home
surrounded by social misfits

Silence, is loud
Heads in the cloud
Lived life to a point
Stopped to smoke a joint
Upon the grass so green
Reflections of all I have seen
Every dream
So it would seem
Vanish ,before my eye
Can't hold on no matter how...

Each time we learned, new life had been birthed,
down deep where true love grows quite fast;
Our greatest hopes, as parents unearthed,
the sum of our love's storied past.

Daily our preps, made for good cheer:
Maternity clothes and...

nightstand shelved as bed post warming invites,

I won't be intimidated with plays
And ploys to keep me from the seat
They may unite and come up with ways
To get that vote and see to my defeat
Because I'm a threat to their plans

 Looking sad and wearing black those stupid preps all laugh because she looks fat 

Trying to ignore the comments she walks looking at the floor since she doesn't say...

Caveman preps for dating female mates
As he puts on fresh skins and pelts
Caught that day since everything was free
Oil from animal musk still ooze from pores
(To allure the delicate gender favors)

Realized Dream

Sabbatical dreams after quarantine,
Sun hint suitcases in unkempt closet,
Copy of an E-ticket stretches trash,
Cellphone replenished, impotent ere long.

A bowl of flakes stifles in cooling milk,
Sunny nook preps up a stylish bud vase,
The label I...

Sittin' here, feelin' uneasy
Not at all sleepy
Sweet sounds of Norah Jones
Tickle my ear drums
I find refuge in the blues
This is not NEWS
to the people who love me
If this is a crime
Please, do cuff me

One Rhythm,...

I'm not the girl that roots for the team
Or the girl that looks down on the geeks
And the Goths
And the drama crowd

With soft hushed slip-steps
They creep into my being
My sleepy mind preps
For all the things I’m seeing

They are the sleep sneakers
That invade in the night
Restlessness seekers
That dance without the light

The tales of dreary dreams
Show terror, fear...

The good thing about the end of the world is, 
For some, it never even began.
A world filled with hate, suffering and lies
And every kind of self serving alibi

I start back over so many times...

A Sinners Prayer
In the darkness of night let the sinner appear
In the form that he is, which is the essence of fear.
When his soul is revealed it’s ugly and black
It preps for the battle of...
