Why does my multicultural applauding message,
my polycultural cheerleading,
sound so monocultural chant, rant,
a passionless litany of redundant verse?

Who would have it said of their voice
It remains both too rich
and yet wandering on far too long?

Even resonance

Hello, I say with silence,
but you don't seem to hear;
I'm close, i say with distance,
to you I'm all but near.

Only Time Will Tell

Is it possible to heal all wounds through time
casting off our mortal coils?

Closer now
closer than we’ve ever been
as tyrannies anthem
drive us all insane

Closer now
closer to the grand genocidal of our history
this screaming civilian
barters a blood transfusion for economy

So much closer now
