June 6 2025 Transgender Military Ban

"You may now not serve this country
Though you may be fit and kind
I tell you this quite bluntly
I will suppress your kind

Petitions and the public
Shall never hassle my laws;
Amist a starving republic
They believe me
When I tell them you are the flaws

For I've convince them all the bathrooms
Are threatening where you lurk
I've convinced them all your

No more divide and conquer

ideal of opulence in the flesh called human
harboring a false sense of control and power
listening to voices you claim as your own
cynical laughter with mouths that spew arrogance
no regards for the blood shed to advance hierarchies
tyrannical systems smitten to hinder harm control
disparaging games with malice of life's spectrum
keeping most in a survivor unconsciousness
barrier resources disguise

Suppression

Were suppressed
The kids are depressed
The scary tango till death
We scream till were out of breath
It’s dangerous
We dance beneath the stars
While covered in scars
We march to the dead beat
Till the death tastes sweet

Premium MemberThe Cries of Suppression

The cries of suppression will never cease,
	a selective crowd of bitterness.
	The suffering voices each day increase.
The cries of suppression will never cease.	
        Seeking justice from the claws of the beast.
        Claiming their freedom from the wilderness.
The cries of suppression will never

Premium MemberYearning To Rise

Tiny heart, world inside
Waiting for a hand to guide
I'm a seed, life's whisper
Promise of a thousand branches
Canopy reaching for the sky

ROOTS! Plunging deep
Earth's embrace, sustenance I seek
Mighty trunk, strong and proud
Touch the clouds, defy time's shroud

I YEARN TO RISE!
Reach for the sun!
Stand tall, testify
Life's grace is never undone

But wait-

Cold hand clutches
Potential stifled
Captive to unkind fate
No

Suppression

Suppression ..
cracking open the flesh.

Never suppress the
Feeling of the soul
This inner oppression
Is not just foam
It is a fine thread
You need a needle
To sow close packets of regrets
And mistakes you have buttoned up
Looking through what 
You had to do.
Those hole's ..
Have control over you.

Suppression
Stabs and tears you..
Gash you on the inside..

The hole's suppressed
Stitch and heal them
Ditch

Supremacy

“their freedom of width, yet not of height 
Descends, through the transpiring fright 
Which enraptured them, in a cage of night 
, never once, I would abide 
Preachings on the repugnant walls 
 That seems to repulse the oppugnant  scales
That never pleased the reluctant deals
 Our seats of blank, yet never brown
 Generalize the

Digital Details

…Fidgeting fingers 

Sliding into crevices 
Redefining new dimensions 
As Suspense drifts into evidence 

Ye season is upon us
Uncover what’s  been absent 
Lacking substance
Corroded with trauma of past tense
Acknowledge the struggle 
Or succumb to a future tragic 
Laughing
I’m an abundance 
My thunder
Lives through my laugh
My cries are what makes me humble
I may stumble along my

Premium MemberIn Suppression of Treason What Motive Or Reason

Irony, often, enacts comically fatal roles,
Brings dignitaries down from their highest pedestal poles; 

Sometimes, in a symbolically pragmatic costume,
Of the protagonist, destruction its role does assume;

Julia Gillard, Australian feminist Prime Minister,
Kitten heels!  Fell over public! Earned laughter sinister!

Unprejudiced slip! Humiliated tentatively!
Escorts and envoys, though, waited on her attentively!

Her fall followed her fiery address on

Premium MemberIn Suppression of Treason What Motive Or Reason

A prime minister of Land Down Under -
from her role she had been put asunder.
I've been reading of texts
and jokes made of her sex,
but about her I still have to wonder . . .

I surmise mostly Aussies would know
more exactly why she was let go,
I sure wish I knew
that at "Beyond Blue"
she was doing kids

Premium MemberIn Suppression of Treason

If one chooses to enter the political realm
[To serve his or her country in high office]
Inevitably, they will be accused of misconduct
Of one sort or another during their tenure
Julia Gillard, ex-Prime Minister of Australia,
The first and only female in Australia’s history
Is no exception.

From 2010-2013, she performed her duties, but
Was deposed by her predecessor, who claimed
Rightly

Self Supression

Self-suppression 

Of feasting and drinking beyond the road.
Conflicts and dissonance over the load

Trembling in the face of the tide, of youth age
Thoughts altogether are the sign of the rage

Prisoner of desire in a locked cage.
What if one claims to be a sage?

Fails among the average, but blurry beige
It's the act of dedicating oneself to a

Never Again

Pulled together
by a magnetic avoidance of loneliness,
fueled by an insatiable ardor
to evade a shortage of love.
Mutually splintered souls searching
for a place to embed and
implement a façade which conceals
mutilated minds.

Spurious attempts to disarm 
the timebomb which is his mouth.
Futile efforts to escape
a mental cage
inflicting frightening fingerprints
on a shatter-able soul.

Cautionary writings on the walls
of his guise,
demanding subservient
