OF US AND DISMANTLED JUSTICE

OF US AND DISMANTLED JUSTICE    

Equality smashed!
Slammed down by the new,
Unjust sledgehammering laws:
Scales of justice ripped away
And thrown in the junkyard:-

Time to reconstruct:
It’s human nature’s springtime;
Let’s rebuild justice:-
Yes, it’s reconstruction time,
Let’s get to rebuilding:-

With divine guidance,
Let us tear down injustice
With tools of repair:
True justice reconstructed;
Thus, making this country great:-

Rebuilding

They met in the silence of shattered lives,  
two strangers with broken hearts,  
haunted by losses too heavy to name.  

He carried the weight of wars fought far away,  
the screams still echoing in his chest,  
the faces of fallen brothers,  
cloaked in nightmares that never let him sleep.  

She carried the weight of a child lost too soon,  
a son taken in the violence of a world  
that knew no mercy.  
The emptiness in her arms a reminder  
that love can be stolen,  
leaving nothing but hollow echoes.  

But when they looked at each other,  
there was no need for words—  
just the shared understanding  
of how grief carves deep and leaves scars.  

They didn’t need to be saved,  
only to be seen.  
In each other’s pain,  
they found a quiet strength,  
a place where the world could not touch them.  

Together, they rebuilt.  
Brick by brick, breath by breath,  
they learned to stand again,  
stronger in the brokenness  
than they had ever been before.  

Two souls scarred but unyielding,  
complete in the space  
where their losses met.

Rebuilding

these are times to huddle 
and hug together in faith and focus
on rebuilding, rising and resilience

Resilience

Yes, you have fallen.
It felt like a defeat.
In time, you realize
You still have the breath of life.
Calamity has no victory.
What felt like an enormous blow
Brought you to your knees.
Determination fills your bones,
Resilience, your soul.
Broken, but not shattered,
Injured, but surviving,
Gather every ounce of life you have,
Take a deep breath,
Say a silent prayer and
Proceed!

Your strength will be meager.”—Proverbs 24:10

Rebuilding new me

Watch and learn basics 
rebuilding myself better 
watch out here I come

Now That We Are Here

A coworker and I stand
along a lone Nebraska highway
far from home.

I stand on one end
of a work zone-
a co-worker stands
on the other

communication by walkie talkie
to direct traffic 
as it comes and goes.

A road that’s broken
must be made whole
as life bubbles forth
from underground streams
in an unfamiliar place.

Work inches forward
until the sun bleeds
into the sky

when night conversations
friendships are sought
in each other
as we ponder 
our time and place
and a light in the parking lot
shines like the moon.

Rebuilding

When rebuilding a home
You-
Repaint the walls
Replace broken doors
Revisit all points of weakness
Trusting the process 
Of the new masterpiece being built
So it is with the soul
Rebuilding that home
To the home of strength

Rebuilding and Rebuilding

He understood what I now know
But did not at first
For I had not seen broken children before

Now that I have I understand
They can be tainted and tortured
into submission before they reach school

“It is easier to build strong children
than to repair broken men”
words penned by Frederick Douglass

Wisdom personified
Once broken it is like rebuilding
and rebuilding and rebuilding

After a child has lost hope
lost trust, lost believing in himself
he filters out the good, hearing only the bad

If we do not reach them 
before the good has been
crucified and whipped out of them 

We may never reach them at all
The key is to reach the parents
And teach them how to love their children

The belt is never the answer
Once you have had the belt
You are always broken

Take it from one who knows
From
Experience…..

Rebuilding

Rebuilding all, is what we do
We did it after World War Two
Rebuilt Japan and Germany
And they had been our enemy

All their basics mostly done
Brought them back, it wasn't fun
It cost a lot of cash to do
To bring them back, their lives renew.

Now we find ourselves today
Hurricanes have come our way
Our islands now, we must restore
Nature did it, not a war.

Situation dire, and yet we fret
What about their present debt?
It's about the peeps, not politics
We're acting like a bunch of pricks

Puerto Rico, ruined, there you see
They are our own, not enemy
Must bring them back, again as new
That's the least that we should do

It's the people, not the government
The hurricane has come and went
If they had elected you, 
There's nothing that you wouldn't do

If the media is telling lies
About withdrawing, I despise
all them, and their hate for you 
You can't do that, if it is true

We must rebuild our island lands
Slammed by the eye and outer bands
Now's not the time to think of debt
Congress could pay, with graft, I'll bet

Rebuilding From Within

Since the beggining of my journey people always been pushing ignorant views on me,
The evidence is always lacking but still insisting its the way it has to be,
Spend my time escaping to build a mind palace, 
Whilst stumbling through this crazy world like Alice,
Everything I learn is like a new brick,
but piecing them together is the real trick as the evils of the world begin to stick,
Meditating on my throne channeling peace and serenity,
Attempting to make some sense of the black, white and grey with clarity,
but my inner sanctuary from the outside becomes corrupted,
Finally time this place was deconstructed,
As you cannot build a structure on broken foundations,
I take my best bricks and work amalgamations,
In my new palace there be holes where once was black,
This time I'll keep it clean and make sure they never come back,
I need to gather better bricks to rebuild my mind,
with new adventures and new experiences is the only way I will find
The only way to start again is to sift through all of the rubble,
If I fail in this then again there will be trouble,
And when the negatives of my mind attempt to seep in,
I'll be meditating in my palace protected from sin.

Rebuilding

Lets rebuild this thing
This love that use to be
Company: once was us
Now just you, and me
 
Together can be a lonely place
Time and life has caused it true
I need your help with this, My Dear
Lets get back to me and you
 
I know I need you once again
Don't you long for that place?
Where love flew round about us
A warm and gental kind of space

Rebuilding Noah's Ark

hammers are swinging
saws are buzzing
the carpenter ants
shall gather
the nails while
volunteering their time
in rebuilding Noah's Ark

Rebuilding What Was Torn Down

Rebuilding what was torn down
might take endless effort,
and it can be definitely done
without recalling the hurt.


To visualize it again,
it's putting together the ideas 
that started it in adolescence...
will it be the same dream as then?


Some achievers build it
as a bricklayer does: brick by brick...
until it is clearly conceived,
to amaze themselves who strongly believed. 


Rebuilding what was torn down
by malevolent forces takes firm belief,
and with my defiant courage it will have life again:
breathing as I breath with much sought relief.

Rebuilding a Bridge

Rebuilding a bridge that was blown asunder,
Should we start from above or way down under?
Is it really too late to try once again?
For the two of us to call each other friend?

A heated discussion, words said in anger,
Is how our friendship got into danger.
If we had only taken time to think before we spoke,
Maybe our friendship would not have broke.

We can not retract what we did in the past,
We can only start over and make it last.
I miss your smile - the warmth or your heart,
May we try once again or do we just stay apart?
