And also,  "Civil Rights Activist" 
For her, luckily 
Though she was hung, it was only in effigy!

from Caribbean
queenie harlems queen of crime
ran the neighborhood

dressing to the nines
a civil rights activist
financial wizard

she taunted gangsters
to steal her territory
in newspaper ads

a gang war ensued
forty people were left dead
killer queen escaped...

Botticelli-the pot-bellied artist
For the Medici family was a great activist.
His paintings rose him high.
For his Venus you know why.
He's been claimed such a great artist!

Marching into the wind
Find the issues within

Pop outta your bubble
Get into good trouble

If you feel you are right
Never fear a fair fight

Blessed be this brave land
In truth we will all stand

"Don't look down on anyone unless you are helping them up"
 Quote by civil rights activist Jesse Jackson.

Kindness is Free.
Shine a light to show them the way.
Kindness is Free.
Showing that you care is the key.
Fill lonely hearts with joy today.
Spend time if they want you to stay.
Kindness is free....

Yes, you can!
You can be the change
the spark and the light
someone’s sun on dark days.

Sometimes, it doesn't take much
a smile
a nod
a simple thank you can lead the way.

So be that change.
Be the reason someone smiles
offer a hand when they stumble
a shoulder when they break.

Be the voice that speaks the truth
the first to rise
the one who dares
change begins when you do....

Jesse Duarte
Muslim South African
Dead just before age 68
Best known as antiracism fighter
Along with Mandela
That generation is dead, it's over
Self-serving "ANC activists & comrades" remain
To steal and blame (minorities)

II
Jesse was eloquent; loyal leader & 'spokesman'
"Diminutive woman;" Dedicated warrior
Never about herself
She died today
Will be buried today
Now, her religion shows...

we
the defeated being
in the slogan of conqueror

we
the dependent lame child
in the independent constitution

we
the blind activist voter
in the eye witness breast of sun

we
the wounded survivor
on the cured smiling of mass-leader

we
the rumor of political price hike
in the barren womb of onion

we
the loyal kick dog
of republic royal govt.

Anyone who associates with,
this Animal Rights (semi retired) active Activist,
does so very dangerously at your own risk,
because I am on my government's Holocaust List,
so if you associate with me,
to however small or great degree,
you're in danger of being placed on that list also, right along side with me,
and right now my government knows that you are giving this a read.
You Have Been Warned Everybody....

Some time ago my nutritionist,
a true health freak and activist,
recommended I eat green veggies –
(for antioxidants against diseases):
kale, cabbage, chard, broccoli, arugala
all cruciferous greens and other genera.
The benefits were just as predicted 
but the side-effects were not expected – 
I now have the longest ears in town,
walk less, but do more hopping around,
and, to my wife’s distress, my need for sex
would exhaust the need of any rabbit.
