Long Violators Poems

My Mother taught me
how to see through language, 
paper was rare, iron ink wasn't free
so she sold some jewelry for porcelain lettering, 
and we clapped and sang the alphabet into life
our life, our joy, our...

What if political parties

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

The apparent insanity of inmates
and prisoners
and addicts, conspiracy theorists and paranoids,
does not prove,
nor necessarily even suggest,
the keepers are not also self-entitled nuts
with unhealthy powers,
narcissistic self-serving authorities,
delegated detached responsibilities
primally loyal to...

"Ark"



books have eyes here 
they sense things 
through the turning of leaves

strange chapters
they listen to small sounds
loud lives lived quietly

they are grounded cells
measured by rings 
in untouchable ancient territories

somewhere else,
Amazonia 
sheds tears

she cries 
for her...

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: 
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, 
and their spears into pruninghooks: 
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they...

The little ones stand on the river bed
Bored, with the beauty of silence
Looking for excitement and adventure
They discovered stones, and the fun of violence

As the water rushed to the ocean
In a smooth, steady, rhythmical sound
The...

I hear the rolling thunder beyond the clouds
descending from his throne with many shrouds
His lightening circles the earth in peel
it’s effect to many will seem surreal

The angels who are holding back the wind
release their breath...

When I see in colors
I say Yes
softly or loudly
and usually in-between
depending on our vibrancy together.

When we see in black and white,
we say maybe yes
and perhaps not
and other shades of ambivalent grey.

I cannot see in black

Progressives say mankind is improving,
so, moral laws are no longer needed. 
The goal for mankind is self-expression,
hence the need for new social conventions.

That which is old is no longer useful,
So, out with the old, and...

Once upon a time but not right now or ever
A parachutist climbed the short oak tree
On private property not yours or mine
The sign read, “Trespassers will be shot
on sight”  (sight unseen)

Our flying man used...

School Uniforms in the Fifties

“Wear a uniforms that is up to our dress code,

As we have a crisis at our southern border at home, with drug smugglers, human traffickers and an invasion of violators of the law,
There is hatred boiling over, directed at the lawful citizens, with less...

Iron and steel
are the revered objects of their
quasi-holy zeal 
Earthly things fashioned from
corrupt flesh
Faithlessly forged by corrosive will — 
The profit mold of imperfection
was a raw mass subjugation ordeal
Their Farsi prayer slag,
(reprobate words poured in...

In Awe of the Earthly Terrorists

What is AWE?

It is like the gasping for breath –
Inhaling the smog filled air

It is like being frozen in time and
Suddenly waking
as the ice sheets melt under your feet

It is...

I said it ones, I said it twice
Lay off my son that is not your kind.
Your nonsense is obvious. It's becoming world wide.
If his father didn't choose you.
Doesn't make you to be around mine.

Goodness Gracious!
My classmates are all hot messes,
They all managed to get cookie crumbs
all over their dresses,
They have warped into little monsters!
Attacking snacks as if they were Edward 
Scissorhands,
I can't bear to look,
Their antics are repulsive...

Tears of loss remembered,
sad shadow of terror's anguish in loss
new-found.

Supremacist dominators,
terror instigators,
domestic peace violators
sociopathological neglectors
of SelfAsOther nurturing care,
might become a sad legend of premillennial history,
replaced by the diastatic trembling courage
of leaves welcoming opportunities
to regenerate clean...

Of so many things, as you outright abuse
Burn our flag, kill our babies after born
