Overindulgence, it’s just the way it is in this society.
Overindulgence in sex, food, alcohol, drugs, spending,
spending beyond the means and getting in debted for 
self-indulgence in vanity, materialism and social media.

I am laying these issues...

The Metro

At the metro 
Railroad cars run on steel, metal tracks above and below ground
A narrow pathway in the dark 
A screeching halt
A loud whistle
A train is approaching  now 

Subway lines follow their route...

As with many dreams, I do not understand the dream I had last night.  On the night of December 19, 2007, I dreamed about a candidate for President of the United States.  I...

When I see and hear,
touch and feel,
something

Somewhere unwanted
someplace uncherished
egocentrism

Making alienating choices
that follow group win/lose competitive norms,
this constellation of nationalistic patriotism's
monoculturing beliefs

anthroprivileged values
and disvalues,
provoke out-raging
hypocritical anger.

It is only in epic transition times
when climatic health and...

The diversity of beliefs have collectively demoralized 
the sanctity of attaining wisdom and respectfully sharing
the exchange of knowledgeability by compartmentalizing creativity. 
This makes us..............................
willingly grasp onto the idea of fighting and murdering to
expressively uphold what...

THE WRITER IN ME, WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Somebody called me a poetess in one of the Open Poetry
sessions I attended and I said, “I’m not really a poetess”.
I am a simple woman and I am...

“That body is female!”, they tell me.
At the turn of the moon
It purges itself of its sins,
Washing away what lives could have been,
Punished for failing biological duties.

“That body is female!”, they tell me.
Forever marked with...

Don't want to be a bother,
Don't want to come between
Don't want to cause distraction
Don't want to make a scene.

Though stating really clearly-
I fear there's something wrong and
If i can't state it here
Where else do I...

Challenges singe meninges sometimes
Painting dark clouds on the canvas in corridors
Where at times
I seem to coerce open doors  

To weep
At the folly I engage
To sweep
Common sense and its stage

Aside as I create reality too...

It seems just like only yesterday
when poetry took a real grip on me
as one that struggles with anxious thoughts
stammering words held me not to being free

But the pen brought me release
then felt a calm, an...

Dark slide grind

Skating around issues
Breaking ice around in spheres 
Wearing gaudy skirts that sparkle
In the wind
People never believe things until 
It’s the end

What will it take to convince?
Social issues don’t mean a thing if there...
