The Amistad Mutiny

Slavery, a dirty word no matter how it’s pronounced:

My wounded heart drinks deep from the rotting gut of misery,
Humanity vomits its relics onto the oozing tiles of the real.
I see kids chewing syringes like candy canes,
Their innocence smashed, face down on the concrete...

Premium Member Beloved Green Commons
What purpose do I choose to live;
remaining aloof from evil practice and intent?
What meaning can we find to live,
reversing "evil"
that could transcend our individual absence of identity?
Original Intent uncovers love-life's revolutionary invitation
into mutual belonging.

What is...

The Last Blunder
The walls are imprisoned in silence,
A heavy, powerless silence, shattered
By voices, tears, and crowded souls.
Justice hides in the corridors of greed,
Crimes are sentences uttered in the halls,
The innocent are moving targets,
An age-old burden on the...

In the streets of Port-au-Prince. Bullets were being fired in droves

Naughty terrorists are like dogs, hyenas in vile forests...

Where was I on "Bull" Conner's day,
When the world saw white-hate on display?
Attack dogs, hoses, and lawmen's feet,

Hate left the wounded laying...

Do you sometimes wonder about your self identity
seen through your lens for suicidal risk as opportunity?
