filthy goats grabbing
they know just how
to work a room
complete in their absorption
hungry symbols
enslaved but not ashamed
Freedom!
Glorious freedom
The cry of the enslaved
To break the bonds of oppression
Freedom!
Inside the ice cave
Drops of fear and regret form
Looming icicles,
Enslaved by apprehension
Let your fiery heart break free
They have enslaved us from birth.
They rule the entire earth.
But, a day will come my friend,
When their dead kingdom will end.
you are Salome
I am your love-enslaved
need you ask my dear?
nay! ask thee not for my head
I give you my heart instead
Form:
Indentured as servants,
and not as our masters
Words are conscripted
—their meanings enslaved
(Dreamsleep: October, 2020)
I freed a few slaves but could have freed much more,
if only they had known that they are slaves, and what they are enslaved for.
embrace this soulless
body, kiss me fearlessly
let your warmth guide me
skin upon skin, enslaved by
desires, countless memories
Chains shackled slaves of the past until their death.
Todays slaves are enslaved until their grave, not with chains, but with debt.
To be enslaved is a choice
For one fully endowed to think
But courage to confront is a must
If the vicious cycle must be broken
lost eyes
of native girls enslaved
by traffickers
beaten and forced into sex
and I grew up complaining
of harvesting beans and corn
Am neither here or there,
Caught in a Parallel World in My head,
Make a choice, don’t make a choice,
I am trapped, I am enslaved by Me.
Form:
Cursed by geography
By Latitude
And Longitude
Enslaved by History
Ground drenched with blood
Corrupted by ghosts
Toxic down to the bedrock
Unchained from the structure,
enslaved by the words
My voice to the wind,
—freeing silence unheard
(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)

We went to Tegia to capture slaves
And we took some fetters with us.
But in the end, we Spartans were enslaved,
And they fixed our fetters on us.
Gunpowder
was to ‘Little Boy’
as a whisper
to a shout
Forever changed
the world remains
enslaved
— unto its rout
(The New Room: February, 2025)
Saint Pat was a man to admire
Can't say he just preached to the choir
Enslaved by the Pirate
Made do, without riot
He stayed, and lit all hearts afire!
While captive, enslaved,
doors marked with Blood of The Lamb,
death’s Angel did pass
You're cruel
diligently slapping in silence
tearing promises
and forcing the stars to shine
I'm sorry; I'm enslaved by longing.
Atambua, March 12, 2026
Contintment enslaved,
by the muse of an angel,
developing in my eye,
Snowing flakes of gold,
falling, falling,
falling delicatly inside,
where I keep my tears.
Form:
If some is good
more is better
Less is threatened
all enslaved
If more is reasoned
less is questioned
Good intentions
—hell repaved
(Dreamsleep: January, 2023)
Toxicity for Two
Was it Me
Is it You
Games
Blame
Shame
Pain
Two Changed
Never the Same
Love
Hate
Rage
Center Stage
Emotions Caged
Enslaved
Price Paid

Recife in huge city turned
by the dutch prince Nassau transformed
high culture but people enslaved
now though so that much time has passed
by the people he is still loved
A poet played a game of sound in a charade
the words before him kept marching on parade
but in his wanton haste
he lost the foolish chase
and the poem within was then enslaved.
