Winning or loosing certain in contests
Testing only who is winning is unjust
Loosing protests...

like ice evaporates 
on a hot day, my protests
disappear, every time...
your lips unearth mine...

screams
 running
 from commons
 protests turn red
 scared
 fear
 colors 
 oozing from
 Vietnam's hushed
 cries...

I’m trying to write like a bard
She asked me to go dig the yard
Though protests were made
I picked up a spade
I grinned when the ground was too hard...

There is no debate,
what we celebrate.
Formation of the state,
never racial hate.

Former colony,
freed from monarchy.
Honoring liberty,
not inhumanity....

         Pony-up, you owe the money
           Your protests, not even funny

         When you win, we pay up fast
           The about-face ~ What a contrast

The wind asks,
rainfalls,
mouth shuts,
leg walks,
sole prints,
age perishes,
the skin remain asides,
destiny fight protests,
life has no whys,
but remain with who's....

Am Confused and Confessed

Are confused and things must be confessed;
Trump had refused to do what we did request;
Dissension in ranks;
Uncertain in banks;
End result was a long period of many protests.

It is ridiculous to think that being peaceful implies weakness.

If you want your peace, you must be willing to fight for it.

As in protests.

If you want to lead a war, you must be a pacifist.

As in manipulation....

pink,pink
persistent
protests proclaim
pussy purrs content with
his game-
on his
veranda
with much disdain-
I'll siesta here 'til
it rains

Note: We are vacation-sitting our daughter's cat this past fortnight or so...

'Peaceful Protests Intensified' --

  So the morrow's headlines certified
  But how'd reporters turn blind eyes
  To fire-bombings that terrorized
  a downtown stunned and traumatized
  Why was ugly violence euphemized
    ~ as 'Peaceful Protests Intensified'...

Jerry and friends, whose humor never failed,
Ended nine years on air by being jailed.
Left viewers feeling blue
Without "No soup for you!"
Most fans were angry. Their protests emailed.

   Hamas and Jill Stein
   perpetrate great crimes
     co-promote genocide, these two
     against all Christians and Jews...  

   Jill Stein protests: She’s Jewish!
   Yet she is a Jew so stupid and foolish
     to let herself by Jew-hating terrorists be used

Tweedle the teensy bee was being hauled along with a bunch of stuff.
He thought he was an afterthought, and said to everyone “sure enough”.
Mama had her grip on bags of junk, and he was the end of the line.
She rolled her eyes at his protests, a bee who knew how to whine....

Their flags are waving
Ancient thoughts, preserved 
By a tradition 
Of exciting men.
The tales of hate
Are being worn proudly
On the hip, of words
Come protests. Defined
By weapons to boast,
With trinkets and masks
They search for a ghost.
They buy his butter
As he steals their toast....

Passive protests 
any reason to protest
protesting democracy 
unable to accept

Protest save democracy 
previous reject
protest passive
remain no respect 

No respect for themselves 
no respect for democracy 
And ultimately as well 
no respect for our country 

This is bad losing
sour 
Sad acts...

the wind turns my apple tree
into a victim, a lover banging
on a closed door of gnarled wood,

a dance makes this ringing evening
singular, the leaves agree to fall
and turn in the moving faith of air;

they tell us about birth and departure,
about leaving together, stories of
ending as the sun arcs and protests...

Watching the protests grow larger and stronger
     burying hope in the stench of a dumpster

   Hearing speakers extol baby-burners
     they themselves as unhinged as murderers

   What has America come to when human butchery is praised
     with social media as their church, on such values our youth is now raised...

Let’s put that in the parking lot.
It means Mr. Money will postpone a decision.
We drones look at each other.
Anything the boss wants is imperative.

Any suggestion from the minions is delayed.
Put off, shelved, indefinitely suspended.
One of the new employees protests. She is fired.
The rest of us keep quiet, wanting our pay....

Home, they say, does quicken beating hearts,
yet mine protests as I prepare to go.
Chambered rooms, stretched endless miles apart,
strain the pump and cause the blood to slow.
Precious thoughts of her upon my chest
stoke the fires and help the embers burn;
Vivian, may thy sweet days be blessed
Till in a month I’m able to return....
