There were some more hate crimes the other day.
Eight unfortunate victims had their lives blown away.
The murders happened at spas around Atlanta.
This is the largest city in the southeastern state of Georgia.
It seems Asian-Americans all over our nation
have been targeted with crimes and racial discrimination.
This has culminated into an unfortunate growing trend.
It seems racially-motivated hatred will never see an end.

DANCE, OH MY HOME
Dance, oh my home!
With heads bowed in prayers
Heart filled with love, open arms for all
Till the rising wave stills.
Dance, oh my home!
To laws and orders
And cling to peace
Till they are gored with pity
Dance, oh my home!
In one voice to win
With acceptance and unison of thoughts
Till their plans are torn.
Dance, oh my home!
At the Heaven's gate with faith
Through patience, knock for help
Till your bleeding heart is healed.
Dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives during the ill-fated military drill tagged Operation Python Dance II in the southeastern region of Nigeria.

Many people are sprucing up the Quaker City.
Everything must appear clean and pretty.
They anticipate the last weekend in September.
That will be one all of Philadelphia will remember.
Countless visitors will be Philly bound.
Not one vacant hotel room in the city will be found.
There may be some difficulty for commuters to get around.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority
will be selling train passes to a select few by lottery.
Restaurants and stores are expecting a boom in business.
What do you think will be the cause of all of this?
Philadelphia will be visited by Pope Francis.

Santa hasn’t drunk cocoa tonight,
and he’s not dressed in red trimmed with white.
In blue denim so cool,
he is toasting the Yule
with a drink surely not mixed with Sprite!
Santa’s drink was a little too red,
and I think we have something to dread,
for he’s now in the sky
and he’s flying “too high”
as his sleigh widely veers overhead.

A moment in time, just a few moments
There is a glorious sunrise bright red
On the southeastern horizon omens_
Is bad weather ahead; weather for sled?
Above in the sky a small crescent moon
Sunrise and moon share the space, for me joy
Now just a few moments with God commune
Duty calls but those moments can't destroy
"Red sunrise in the morning
Sailors take warning
Red sunset at night
Sailors' delight"
Don't know the author's name
My work sprang from a sunrise Sunday Morning...
We are solid cloudy today...

She is bronze colored in complexion...
She is not too tall nor too small..
She is found along high rise buildings to sidewalks..
She dresses according to the 90's, to the latest moda...
She has her own unique style...
She has of brilliance undefined..
She has the hands soft to caress and rough to grip..
She has of eloquence: smile that soothes...
She is from the southeastern seas..
She belongs to islands of myriads history..
She comes from the land of the tropics..
She stands out among the crowd..
Empowered through high quality education..
Unbreakable by dozens of life experiences..
Molded flexible enough by Her culture
Zest enough to face the whole world..
Wether in the most sophisticated way..
To the simplest servant you can see at home...
What makes her so captivated...
Her full blown nationality of being a Filipina...

Alligators bellowing chorous dance.
Eerie freshwater gator holes.
Intense jaws, killer lizard-like.
Marshes nest offspring, population quickly rebounds.

Underwater vegitation. Wetlands xylem.

The clouds shook
A thick, black, very wet blanket out
In the Southeastern quadrant
Of the New Mexico firmament,
Complete with lightning
And growling, crackling,
Massive basso-profundo sound effects,
Inviting the sun to rest,
Take a load off,
Reeellaaaxxx!
Abrasively radiant,
Helios glared a brilliant, heated, passionate,
Steamy smile
Into the arid monsoon skies
And refused Storm’s invitation
To lie down and go to bed
