We Made It Through

lord
my soul
still
tide to
them
trees
where
every lynching
that
would be
and
blue daffodils 
as
far as the eyes
could see
but
up yonder
lord
we 
made it through
both
you and me

Undue Love of Money

undue love of power


undue "religion of matter"


usury unchecked


***


murder, subterfuge:


foul powers that be


---  cabal-loving and lynching-loving ---


divide and conquer

Noose

Crushes of old
Hop into my 
Libido as if it were
Yesterday.

Digression is 
Emersion into
Nostalgic consequence.

Ladled with 
Subtleties preparing 
For a lynching.

Premium Member A Lynching For Santa

Santa went out last night dressed as the Grinch. 
Partied too much got into a tight pinch. 
Woke with aching hangover.
Mrs. Santa, boil-over, 
Bells ringing, threaten with deer's reins to lynch.

Fight For Right

We have to fight 
Stand for the right 
Speak with the mind 
Moving towards the height

Lynching gets easy 
It's harder to get a better sight 
The place has forgotten humanity 
Trying further to abate 

First we are human 
Then anyone else
Skirmish in the name of religion 
The constitution is facing threats

Premium Member Vitriol

Vendetta formed in words and a hot paste
Intends to subject a foe to a baste
Teeth-tearing, throwing the pieces to waste
Read for someone to have a broken waste
Incredible lynching on the banned caste
Or verbal attacks, flying without haste
Letter of hatred giving a sour taste

Pubic Hair Makes Theft Unfair

You know that they are many
And you’re asking ‘if any?’
Those who could kill for Penny
For it search Nook and Cranny

You know that they are heady
And for lynching The Ready, 
For every touched property
And The Thief of Puberty
And just there - Pubic Hair
Making The Theft Quite Unfair …

A Poverty of Ideas
By Man who Poverty fears!

Wheelchair Armistice

Self-crippled arrayed in abundance
Too poisonous to move, to dance
Striking a medicare deal
Reeling in unemployment checks
Our disabled bodies left to hang

From crippling blows
The pressure of expectation
Lynching sanity
Propping self-delusion on stilts

Searching for rights
The reason to exist
In a muddled play by play

Blessed are those in spirit
Accepting power over their destiny
Accepting free will
And the test of time

Blood On the Leaves

We saw blood on the leaves
Yeah! Blood filling the roots
Our ancestors hanging from trees
Their blood flowing out to the slave seas

Chained crews taken
To the cane fields
Haiti toppled from the outside, see reels
Shaken down to it’s knees

What they set out to achieve 
Ain't no lie, ain't no dream
The enslaved Screamed
Our Blood on the leaves

A Poets Dozen India

What is happening
nationalists killing
my free India

Hindus lynching minorities for a cow
Is the prime minister happy now?

Why is a cow more precious than a woman?
Why the hypocrisy when Hindus eat Beef to

All religions should live in peace & harmony
Jai Hind is our national call of unity
we all sing the same anthem symphony
we live together share the same identity
only the devil causes nationalistic supremacy
