Rights Poems

A white Santa showed a child the skin tone of the top brass
A white doll to an innocent black girl contrasts ugliness

A white wedding was beauty redefined as a cloak on a lass
A white Jesus, before we repented, repainted righteousness

In pieces


The debris of my shattered soul,
Is all that remains of the old me I used to know.
I, the ghost, who haunts my life of cold,
Just sits here shivering…lost without a hope.


Broken by love a thousand times.
Crippled permanently by all...Read More

Head down


I'm still walking.  I'm still talking.
I'm still trying to find a way for this life to mean something.
I got no direction…just using self-reflection.
Trying to find a way to see me under closer inspection.


I wanna be in love, but...Read More

A matter of life and death


Life; the infinite circle of dreams written in the stars.
Death; is on the back of a turtle waiting for the far.
The time stretching sand, dripping destiny into jars.
Life is a destination; what will be your...Read More

Reality driven.


Hand on heart I love you.
From the start my love has been true.
So beautiful, as soon as we met.
You caught me looking and I was trapped in your net.


Stuck to you through thick and thin.
You are on my mind...Read More

Razorblade


Shot a rebel through the heart.
Cancer kills but life is art.
You tried to put a stop to all that we are,
But we are too hot to handle; you can’t grab hold of a star.


Fire your guns; I’m invincible.
Speak your words;...Read More

A complex God


I can’t always be your salvation.
One day I will rip you apart.
I won’t always be a helping hand,
Because one day I will reach inside and tear out your heart.


If you allow me to love you, utterly and truly,
Then...Read More

Patent No.1


Give me directions to find my car.
Arrows on the key fob, point near or far.
North by North West; is this the right way?  Yes.
There is my car, under the star.
This invention is the best.
Trackar, twenty yards away, easy...Read More

Lonely


Here we stand, alone and in pain.
We are all you never wanted to be.
Somewhat damaged in this broken brain.
Let’s all welcome the lonely.


Come join us in this loneliness;
Make sure you walk alone.
With all friends gone,
Without a sun,
Pretend you have never...Read More

I will not be quitting you


I’m not ready to be quitting you;
I still need your love.
You may be ready, but I will never be,
Ready to give up.

THE DYSLEXIC NIGHT

Back in the first millennium,
Putting the world to rights,
There lived a king called Arthur
With a band of gallant knights.

They did things democratically,
Seated round a table.
Although the lines are slightly blurred
Between true fact and fable.

The knights were known for...Read More

His weapon is not a sword
but pen and ink and the spoken word.
He needs no guns or knives.
His weapon of choice is hidden behind a thin disguise.
to spew hate and fear upon our lives
as he shuts down democracy in a...Read More

Fight for your future.
Nothing is sure.
Stand up and tell them
you want water that’s pure.

Fight for your future.
You need to be seen.
Stand up and tell them 
you want air that’s clean.

Fight for your future.
Sometimes you have to be rude.
Stand up and...Read More

Unfinished Business


Feel like giving up.
Think I have had enough.
Impossible to finish a book.
Keep on getting stuck.


All begins with good intentions.
It all ends with procrastination.
Thought it time for me to mention,
I never reach the end…


Keep it real or never said.
We are...Read More

Weep


I want my next connection to be my last,
And I want it to be a connection that I know will truly last.
If the connection is lost due to ill-communication breakdown, 
I hope in the universe there can be heard its...Read More

Here


I will be with you through blood sweat and tears.
I will stick to you like note paper for years and years.
When you need someone to listen to, I will be all ears.
When the end comes and I fade away,
I will...Read More

Disillusioned


I'm feeling disillusioned, all because of you.
I'm lacking all my desire for love, because of your truth.


You sit there on your throne of thorns, 
Not caring about the lives that you have torn.
The lives that you simply ignore.
Your world is...Read More

Unfinished


I’ve been catching sunbeams in a little glass jar.
I’ve got nothing to lose now, apart from my self-control.
I want to set free the world and release my soul afar.
I’ve lost control of growing old.


Head still thinking sideways, but now I...Read More

Oh, blessed Spring I have been waiting for you it seems forever,
Let me throw off this winter coat and put on my raincoat and galoshes;
I love your blue skies and even rain showers that clean the earth,
Delightful spring flowers are...Read More

I can still smell the scent of pickling spice drifting through the house-

a pickle is just a cucumber, whether it is a cuke, spear, or coin
in a brine of white vinegar, water, spices and pickling salt
and left to ferment for...Read More

 
A feather lost, gliding and drifting, it soars, 
in the mighty wind, it twirls and swirls, as if dancing;
once, the People owned all the wilderness,
they called it home, now they watch it be destroyed. 

There, high upon a sheer...Read More

I came across an old cemetery today while exploring,
     full of broken, toppled headstones and tangled weeds;
there was a deep hush, a whisper and a sigh, I felt tears,
