Manifesto Poems

The Manifesto I've Dreaded To Write

I’m sorry I never fit inside the rooms you gave me.
The walls bent inward,
doors swelled shut,
and I mistook silence for safety.

I’m sorry —
I’m sorry for every quiet collapse you never saw,
for the teeth I swallowed instead of words,
for becoming a stranger in the house you built.

I’m sorry —
I’m sorry for leaving them in the dark,

Manifesto

I live in Toronto
For 46 years now
This is the city I love
I don't want to leave Toronto
For my
Birth city
There is nothing there for me
Also Toronto is a expensive city
To live
And I need to have the money
To live in Toronto
And it is not a problem for me
Because I have the money
Yes Toronto is a beautiful city
Thanks

Manifesto

Watching material,

Materialize,

Before my very eyes.

Invisible molecules,

Ancient and wise,

Form and fit into their disguise.

Your prize,

Look deep inside,

They're hitching a ride.

Going where you decide,

In the direction you tried,

Exactly how you designed.

Once refined,

Set your goal in sight,

Plan it just right.

Believe in your might,

It's not worth the fight,

Take out some paper and write.

Scribble your hearts desire,

Throw it into your

Healthcare and medical attention are an essential human right,
in modern societies this basic need should not be out of sight.
Every individual of any status should get proper medical care,
for which the medical systems and practices need to be fair.

Ethics entitles everybody access to treatment and technology new,
progress in medical science should help all, not a

Manifesto

We paid our premiums Lord, year after year,
It was expensive but for nothing, now I do fear.

We don't understand how it is possibly right,
To be paid for our loss, we have to now fight.

Isn't that what insurance is made for?
We lost our home, and the clothes that we wore.

The hurricane, it took our whole house

THE MAN WHO KILLED THE WORLD


It was there, then it was gone. A swirling mass of white and topaz rotating in an inky expanse    gone. Vanished, right before my eyes. 
My home
my family
my country
my planet   no more. I say out loud to myself that it must be a dream, a

My manifesto is really quite brief.
All I want is to find some relief
from hate and anger that permeates
when life is what we need to celebrate.

"Happy New Year!  Yeah, I know
The same to you. Sorry, gotta go.
Can't we at least talk some tonight.
Nah, you'd just insist you were right."

Togetherness is not what we show
These days

Gas Station Manifesto

Turning the pages backward
I find pressed flowers in my old diary
from the day we saw 
lavender growing in the woods.
The sun was swallowed by clouds 
that were halfway to a metaphor
and you told me the eye color of love
was dark hazel, the very depth of my own. 
In a packet of handwritten letters
I find polaroids

MY MANIFESTO

Here is my manifesto for mankind.
A design science revolution,
 Mandate a Global minimum wage signed,
And weaponry to life, is the solution
And  nukes reduced by 70 per cent,
 And ET Disclosure once and for all,
The Venus Project built- money well spent,
 Reform of schedule 1 substances,
Put Paradisim.org in practise too,
Eliminate poverty and it greivances,
Get Earth

Manifesto

As a law-abiding senior citizen of Hawai
I was living a pretty decent life 
Until my absence alerted my neighbours 
And the paramedics broke the front door of my house
To find me lying unconscious inside
Now I am recuperating in a hospital bed.

But I place my charges against medical malpractices 
That has handicapped me physically, mentally and

Manifesto

On May 11th, Hawaii did declare,
The pandemic's end, no longer a scare.
Federal word, the last state to know,
Preparing for changes in the vaccine flow.

Medicaid shifts, seniors in plight,
September 24th, the end in sight.
In early June, insurers did call,
Reassessing coverages, answers to stall.

July brought news, uncertain and grim,
Doctors from Honolulu, prospects dim.
August 13th, a reevaluation came,
Insurance

You may find my manifesto on healthcare in America hostile
and I don’t give a damn or crap for I am telling the truth.
Healthcare in America is a multi-billion dollar industry for
profit because it does not matter if the company is a non-
profit organization or for a profit company for United States
of America is the most

Manifesto

Deprivation of my rights and freedom
Bodily autonomy, tossed out of 
a terrace window, seventy-third floor 

of a building in New York that touches
the same ground I walk on, yet reaches much
higher than I could ever imagine.

I scream to them, giant politicians, 
but the shadow of their business loafers
overhead      scare the
