Mocking the Dead
Mocking the dead, is that a thing?
How many ways can one be disrespecting?
Laws that cause offenders to be free?
Rape kits that exist only to be not breached.
Little lies and big divides of right and wrong genocide.
Our forefathers could not ever predict
We would be as disrespectful as this.
Ancestors bones surely roll like river
As the wicked become

Frozen In Plain Sight of a Melting Pot
what i saw
i can never see
seeing is not always believing
a question mark exists
exclamatory sentences are all run on
completion is still in the process in progress
all i have seen are all tested and owned by those braver than i, me, and myself
i draw inspiration from them
yet the art of it all is not legible and

It's All the Rage
Too much PC too
Many interpretations
Nothing but problems
I'm with stupid, but...
There are no stupid people
There is ignorance
Rage against culture
Not stupid just misguided
And misdirected
As Spock might say,
"Logic dictates - blending
Ensures survival"
We're all immigrants
And we are Americans
Americans first
Be in the culture
Don't set up your own country
To be catered to
We can't be all things
To all people all of the

Fields of Vision
Amid sand dunes look around for faces
on roads and streets, through spectacles
eyes dwell on the sky, trees, and birds
albino clouds set sail as if to merge
the fecundity of green leaves, blink eyelids
as the bright sun pulls off the night's skin
groggy eyes peep out of a deep sleep
a line of fishing boats stuck on the beach
mine

Melting Pot
The beauty of diversity..
All shall join hands..
Come together as humanity..
One size fits all..
It matters not what size one wears..
Differences in race and culture..
Is the epitome of universal love..
There exists no hierarchy..
As the beauty of diversity is unique..
The uniqueness is what sheds light on unity..
There is no better ..
There is no best..
All is equal..
All is one

Melting Pot In December
Our annual sisters dinner at the Melting Pot. We pay to cook our own food. The shopping done by the restaurant. We climb into a huge booth, tell jokes, stories, sing funny songs about serious stuff — some sympathize, others laugh not understanding this is a true story. And we divide two bottles of

Fifty States United
In an healthy Zone
Everyone is different
But proud to call it home
Children are singing
As they grow
So all the world
Will hear and know
There shall always be
A sequel
For Americans
born equal!

A Melting Pot
In nature’s vast world the animals dwell,
Some flying above, some running below.
They climb to the mountains, roam in the dells,
An unknown force will call them to follow.
The rules of nature are simple you see…
She mandates, most will live, a few will die.
Her delicate balance was meant to be,
Since the dawn of time her rules will

Melting Pot
By Laura
May 26, 2016
I'm juat a place to find you
I had a purpose in life
Why did I make a promise
Found the edge in a knife
Maybe I had to be here
I was too drunk to drive
It turns out you were dishonest
I barely came out alive
I got a ride from a friend
We cut straight through the dead

The Melting Pot
The humid air sweats streaming curls down the toddler’s flush cheeks like Fusilli hot from the stove. The golden ringlets cling to her forehead, bouncing like Slinky’s in front of her, blue-agate, eyes. The backyard’s sounds-bat cracks and wise cracks-surround her. Squeals echo from the mounds of loam behind her new house. The homes out

Melting Pot
"Melting Pot"
in passionate promenade'
a steamy melting pot invites
two sultry silhouettes
into labyrinth lovelight
beneath the searing sunrise
emoting a sonata as
sizzle emanates.
heat ascends from
crimson sheets of satin
invigorating pulses of
intimate paramours
excited by forbidden fruit
evoking a tempting scene
deep in clandestine
as glaze of bodies glide
in simultaneous groan
pleasured fascination
energizes Summer heat.
mellow afterglow
radiates upon lovers
as they contemplate
a repeat performance
...once

Melting Pot
There's nothing wrong with a little heart,
I am human too
Life's just mixed a melting pot.
I'm a race of two worlds combined to one,
Not many can say that it's much fun.
My root's run deep a controversy in themselves,
What once was war now he Delves.
Two worlds that once discriminated and hated each other,
Now drawn together to create

America - the Melting Pot of Freedom
(20/06/2011)
Ones might know the value of tolerance
Let’s ask American for their multicultural life
How has it been?
Are they living in a camouflage screen?
Ones might throw their identities
Let’s ask American for their multicultural life
Should we keep our ethnicities unseen?
Or we keep our sanities in between?
Ones might keep their

Melting Pot : America Freedom
Flames and fire are Devil’s friend,
melting, melting till the end,
conglomerate conformity
Oh God have you abandoned thee?
My freedom hand hits iron wall,
I’m simmered in a hamster ball,
running, running on worn out knee
Oh God have you abandoned thee?
My waxy self runs from the heat,
alas, alas I have no feet,
they’ve melted patriotically,
Oh God have you abandoned thee?
My colours
