Misconceptions of My Color

words of woes warring on the platter of mire
painted on my colour by mouth that burns with unjust fire
injustice, neocolonialism and inequality soaked in lies

Distant Places

Distant places where they live like royalty
Distant places they love to call home
Distant places where they live with cruelty
Distant places they run away from

Fists raised in anger.
Protest against inequality,
inequity, all biases,
poverty and hunger.
Wet and cold forecast.
March cancelled.
Pumpkin spice latte please.

environment pollution
driving animals to extinction

world wars 
nuclear weapons
mass massacres 

hatred
inequality
injustice

but the real threat 
is Coronavirus!

"In the USA, vacant homes by thousands thrive, 
while countless homeless struggle to survive. 
In a land of plenty, such homes stand bare, 
as lost souls grow, wandering in despair."

Premium Member It is all equally nothing

It's all

Equally nothing

The appearances of

Somethings may bring

Stories of inequality..

But the somethings

Are nothing 

It is all

Equally nothing..

A sigh of freedom

May arise...

      ' Trusting In Jesus '

     One must walk
Straight pass the Den
        Of Inequality...
And into the Room of
         Solitude...
Where His Blessing
Are to be bestowed
          Upon us...

Poverty

Boundless poverty,
inseparable symptoms
of capitalism -
Illusions of ascension
deceive the miserable.

Premium Member BLINDED AGAIN

Blindsided Again

Old tired Lady Justice,
Standing there—blinded—
Pleasingly taking the day off;
Giving us another day of injustice:
Her unbalanced scales dangling freely;
We, once again, are chained by inequality:-

Agenda

We reject war
as useless
non-violence 
is our weapon

We reject inequality
as dangerous
justice 
is our dream

We reject illiteracy
as unfair
education
is our right

We reject walls
as vain
solidarity
is our goal.

Premium Member Inequality

A poor man's kacha house,
a shelter simple and alone
amid the concrete houses
of the rich neighbours.

He dreams of a distant place,
the backcountry calls
with its equal embrace
where the status levels,
and pride give grace.

Manipulated Life

Money, has not given, all life quality
Money, has not given, all life peace
Money, has not given, all life inspiration

Money, has given, all life inequality 
Money, has given, all life desperation
Money, has given, all life manipulation

Time's Up

Time’s up,
Inequality,
Violence,
Hate,
Discrimination,
Prejudice.

Time’s up,
Inequality,
Harassment,
Bullying.

Time’s up,
Take a stand.

Time’s up,
We’ll rise up,
To meet these inequalities.

Time’s up,
Rise up,
Make your voice be heard.

If You Want Equality

All life, should not be desperate
All life, should not be manipulated
All life, should not be brainwashed 

If you want, all life, to have quality
If you want, all life, to have peace
If you want, all life, to have equality 

Then all life, has to, get rid of MONEY

Premium Member TO PEACE WINNING OVER WAR

For peace, war can not be the answer;
For war is much more deadly than cancer:-

With divine wisdom and guidance from above,
Let us strive to be instruments of peace and love:-

Let us strive to perpetuate worldly equanimity,
Rather than supporting debilitating worldly inequality

Premium Member Skeptical Society Statement For Sure

Society is not only ignorant. It is generally cowardly. Society and it's foolish cronies generally preach justice, freedom, and equality and yet too often practice injustice, promote slavery, and stubbornly too often insist on inequality.Welcome to hell, but I would prefer heaven, thank you.

Togetherness In Life

Thinking amicably is an ability that a man thinks to help others
time passes away peacefully of all as a man thinks of his affairs wihout bother.
All are equal that all has to think and unfriendliness seldom thought
and we live together with all man and inequality, injustice and inhumanity always fought.

An

elemental

sense of freedom

may appear

as the belief

in inequality

seems to erode~~



250 

years of

democratic struggle

with many glimpses

of deep seated equality~

a weighty story 

perhaps not blemished

with chapters of

chaotic angry and 

soiling corruptions~~

Where The Problem Lies

I should never have loved in inequality.
I should never have allowed 
my heart to take the bait
of loving someone as beautiful as you.

But damn it, love is blind!
I suppose it’s by design
for, had I to do it all over again
I must admit 
I would love you
all over again
knowing…
that you can’t be loved.

Women

Women are mother's 
The bearers of life
Without women 
Men do not exist
They are not equal 
They are bye far and a way superior 
Any form of inequality 
Is perpetrated through insecurity 
Bye sad emasculated individuals 
Who are of little consequence 
If they fail to honor
The fact they are born
To a women mother

The Bath House

Atop a bed of plastic
In a house made of bone
I am helpless to feel Rome’s revival
Men become sheep and wolves
Crusaders line up for war
Careless toward their fellow heretic
Houses burn
Stone pillars rise from foundations
All as the sands of time bury the path forward
Yet even as they do, water still runs in the bath house

The Long Way Out

Death equal in its inequality
Life gasping for life 
individuality stands timid in corners sparse
And being never begins
That end unseen
That step never falls
That air never tasted
Forever unexpelled
Asleep for the wake
Depression unimpressed
Convicted to life
Out of death 
borne to nothing
The long way out
Along the only path

Debtor

I do not believe in the God who created inequality
I do not accept him who do not listen to the people who are in pain.
I don't know anyone who can't be seen
He who only wants service and does not give anything in return is nothing but a beggar.
But the one who has given a mind and a tongue to think these things
I am indebted to him each and every moment.

Premium Member Boredom

Boredom

is an overtone of
the quotidian..the everyday
the mundane..as is said
"same old same old.."
seemingly there is belief
of an inequality
showing up on occasion
and labeled as exciting or
not so exciting..
yet..
the root of our boredom
as with our fears and angst
is the concealed culprit:
an unquestioned belief
in a life lived in separation...
