To those who are transphobic

You who throw stones
Held so tightly in your hand
Like it is your all
Your pride

Your hands are bloody
Because you are a sinner
You are a sinner, and you throw the first stones 

Stones that come in words and pain
Whether you were the ones who shouted total trans death
Or the ones who wish pain
Or the ones who support a militia divided 

You thereby mind me as level with the pigs 
And it is sad
I pray for you
For my God said love thy neighbor 

To you who hate so many minorities 
A sad message I unfold 
For those who wish to make decisions for my very own body
And those who are so bold
Racists or prejudice, those guilty of misogyny

You yourselves
Are the faulty minority

Rain, Sun, Maybe None

I’ve seen sun
And I’ve seen rain
The symbol of fun
And the symbol of pain

Mighty, but lightly,
It shines on those below
A symbol of a new chance
Perhaps I’d love it so

Gloomy clouds then loom around
Restless in the sky
And then with a booming sound
The clouds begin to cry

The sun, a great light!
Teases others down below
It shines off just to spite
Those who do not glow

The water dissolves all harm
For those who dance in it
From every mother’s arm
A child's spark is lit

‘There can be no sun
If there is no rain’

…But why not? They’re nature, not emotions
I can see them just the same

Supernova

I have to say I've been here before
My life has changed but not these shores

Of this salty ocean sea I still drink

I thought I'd escaped it so long ago
When I caressed the ball which skims it low

Yet even then, I knew someday I'd sink

I found so much in its blinding light!
An old man knelt down and attempted to write--

But their deaf ears could not withstand 
The Supernova!

Since then my years have ran so fast
But memories still stain my mast

And on these desolate waves, I still stand

And since then I have fallen in love
I've spoken to priests and our God above

Yet here I still lie on quick sand

I've felt these waves fall-- Burn and crash!
The salt stains my hair! And it burns to ash!

As waves burst in the sea I can feel
A Supernova!

Well, maybe one day I'll be free of this place
Across these horrible shores I will finally embrace

This poisoner who I know as me

I may touch the stars-- But I never burn!
So to truly touch I long and yearn!

To truly forget about this sea

To cleanse in water of somewhere else!
The golden sprays that will fill and melt!

This heart of stone and emit
A Supernova!

To the Kids

It's an important lesson to children, but epically now, a lot of adults might need the bigger picture.

Trucks and dolls are both toys
So it doesn’t matter with which you game
But we all have our preferences
And in that way we are the same

So some will play with trucks
And some will play with dolls
Some will play with both
And some will play with none at all

But if I have learned anything
When ninety-nine is crossed by one
The ninety-nine are just as different-
As those who think like them are none

The Creature Never Tamed -James 3:8-

This poem was inspired by James 3:8, enjoy!

Two wise men
Decide to gather round
A fire in a kin
When one's mouth makes a hissing sound

He bragged about his fame
In the land where he was from
For every creature is tamed
Wherever he shall come

"I have tamed a fish before;
When I went out to sea
Now I can change the ocean floor
So it now belongs to me

I have tamed a diving hawk
Who, like my mind, is of great speed
I have made the parrot talk
Now the air belongs to me

And I have tamed the beastly lion
Who conquers all around
Every creature shall be spied on
Now that I'm the king of ground"

"Your feats do take away my breath--
But I know a creature that controls more
It can cause both life and death
It can rock the universe's core

But only I know it's name;
It's of neither north nor south

I'm afraid you'll never tame
What's called the demon in your mouth"

The Burning of Alexandria

Matches lit the floor
The library set ablaze
Words melted like ice

She Was Free

She stood upon her weary raft
Oar in her hand dipped in dark bath

With every row she rippled suds
Within the shadows deep as bloods

Traversing dead lilies and stenching muds
Oar scraping roots and sounding thuds

On muddy fronds on fallen logs
Hardly seen through misty fogs

The moon was new, completely hidden
Concealed with leaves, the stars forbidden

And the air was nothing, a blackened ink
It smelled of death, a sulfur stink

When she grew tired, deprived of might
She sat down and decided to write

Out from under her pitch black sleeve
She pulled a pen that lit the sea

She penned a page with gentle flicks
The page burned up like candle wicks

The mud dissolved with dead mangroves
The sea became a land of troves

Endless pages couldn’t describe
What her twinkling eyes imbibed

How curious, though…
She held up her pen,
Another wick burned
And darkness again!

She dipped her feet in the liquid void
Placed back in her sleeves, the bright styloid

She noticed spiders in their webs
Little tadpoles in their mossy beds

Maybe most would be displeased
Find this place to be diseased

But she realized it only had one wrong
It was her–she needs to get along!

“I shouldn’t force it to suit me”
She said and commenced her journey

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She wanted sleep and slowed her pace
Laid down on quiet remnants of space

Resting her head upon a tree
Finally lost, she was free~

A Gamblers Game

Love is a gambler’s game
Either way it goes,
You’ll never be the same

I gambled half my pot
And sent out my greatest ship
But unlike what I thought,
Cards of hearts were never flipped

Soon I’m down to metal
But I'll win it just you wait!
I'll get a fortune settle
Maybe she’s just late…

I gambled with nothing left
But gave up my addiction
I found my heart in debt
Afar from my prediction

What a hunch!
‘Love can double money’

Now I’ve loved too much…?
Now isn’t that just funny!

No One Stops the Storm

There’s a storm and it is raging.

It crackles deadly light.

There’s a hurricane-a-waging

A war we can not fight


There’s a powerful wind-a-roaring

Gusting money as quick as can be

There’s wondrous drops-a-pouring

Tastes of power, sweet and beastly.


No soul escapes the gales–

Many victims wound up dead

Their cold blood freezes into hail

And give succor to its spread


Most knew the storm must stop

So they gathered on a shore

On the waves one stood atop

And the storm began its war


The Commander screamed ‘attack!’

And some fought, but still had lost

The storm let out a wild crack!

And there lied The Commander on the cross


They didn’t die in vain

As cloud poured of chloroform

The rest cried out in pain

“Shall we never halt the storm?”

Blackened Soul

I've seen a man
Who lied in bed
His soul was deepest black

I've seen a girl
He wanted dead
She never did come back

Maybe she did die away
Like the man, to a heart attack

Maybe she’s alive today
Like the man, still lifts her back

I’ve seen a man
Who died in bed
His soul was not of black

His soul was white
For he had no might
To take all the colors stacked

But a man who lied in bed
Can live on instead
When no color is lacked

One day his soul
Will go on to pour
Every color, all in tact

And when he sees his precious rainbow
He never will turn back
