What was that? What did she say?
Watch your words, erase them and
only write what is being viewed as
excepted for today.
Hold your thoughts and your feelings
bury. You may influence or insult some
body if your feelings you unquietly carry.
Open not your heart and truth give way
for what we feel as a society changes
from day to day, maybe because of the
way we are swayed.
Leaders use threats, violence and retaliation
today; When things they want are not going
their way. Forget we are one nation under God
for the real world doesn't want us to unite
here or abroad.
Speak from the heart I was told and never let
anyone tell you, you are to bold. If not a nation who
is strong in bond; Then what is there to be said
when our freedoms and future is gone.

You were starving the words
to commit the waves of hunger.
What I wanted was a patch of shade
under an olive grove.
No intrusion. It was a miscarriage
of justice. We were searching the –
missing links between the years
of misunderstandings.
We sell our gods and move on
unquietly to understand the-
lament of middle of the road, when
sun was nestling in the clouds.
It was Fall. Fall of vanity, fall of
integrity. Fall, fall-
my pride, my tears. The season
was changing.
