Stand Up
This universe holds a legacy
Bearing your unwritten name
Stand up with passion and dignity
And courageously stake your claim
Stand up to claim your birthright
For it is greatness
Stand up to claim your heritage
For it is outstanding
Stand up to claim your entitlement
For it is exceptional
Stand up to claim your destiny
For it is commanding
This galaxy whispers your future
But your own

STAND UP TO YOUR HATE
For years now I have tried to understand your hate…
to find the cause…the reasons…
the source from where your anger originates.
I’ve tried to understand how much pain and suffering on others
you are willing to impart and to ignore.
I’ve wondered when and how you began to hate
everything that I sand for.
I’ve often wonder how you sleep at

Woman Stand Up
Wildflowers in her hair
Onyx power in her stare
Mahogany message on her lips
And generations birthed by her hips
Neon sign of times she lives
Sewing love despite discourse
Teal love voice like turquoise
Another fight for her rights
Needing choice in her life
Doing right despite wrongs denied
Uniquely feminine in all her ways
Powerful and poignant all her days
...

I stand up
I stand up
I walk to the door
no one is here
I'm on my own
I know this place
I've been here before
just a few steps
and the fear will be gone...
I stand up
I cannot cry
no one will come
to give me a ride
I have to be brave
I have to reconcile
with the loneliness
I felt in old times...
I stand up
I'm a woman

How you as a part-time fiery walked some hot
Walk. In 2018 when you helped
And that’s all good..' Where so many did lose their lives
And Homes possessions as the blazes

Hard to Stand up for What's Right
Hard to stand up for what’s right
when POTUS gives up on the fight
Right away he abandoned Afghanistan
forsaking our own soldiers to the Taliban
For two years he’s supplied arms to Ukraine
but never sent

Time To Stand Up For Human Rights
It's time,
For you to stand in line,
And take a stand this time,
While there is still time,
For human rights to define.
It is all to easy to define,
The rights of those who think they deserve to shine,
Brighter than those others who are in a different line,
For all time.
But I say that makes us all less fine,

Let Us Stand Up
An outright defeat in Ukraine
May spell doom for Russian reign
It means more than political gain
We refuse to let hatred sustain
Fear the indifferent, for they allow
The worst atrocities to happen right now
We cannot turn a blind eye
To the suffering of those who cry
Let us stand up for what we believe
And do our part to ensure that

Stand Up To Cheers
Don’t just raise your glass, stand up to cheers
Until each and every one gets audibly clinked
Repeating Ike-ism’s stretching memories years
Keeps the good ones up front and spirits linked
Not so subtly cheat (just a little) in a crokinole game
Enough to get caught to see who’s watching most
Laugh when he’s busted, “Who me?” He’d exclaim
Get the

Stand Up For Ukraine
the real monsters,
are not living in your mind,
but out there,
in the real world,
killing the civilians,
innocent children's and elders,
terrible minds,
with terrible weapons,
threatening world peace.
