Trolls, Bots and Spidered WebsThrough false truth, the Rus reclaims hegemony,
Farming trolls to be enrolled,
'Neath bridges, clowns, see enemies,
Puking riddles on those tolled.
Then the bots deliver the hurl,
Regurgitate into the net,
Till truth is common as a pearl,
Yet what you see is what you get.
Spidered webs entangle yonder,
The language largely modeled,
And artificial minds are left to ponder,
Which words are...

JusticeThey say
Justice is blind
But one person
Who cares only about themself
Gets to decide what justice is?
If justice
Is sending an innocent man
Away
From his family,
His friends,
His life,
No trial,
Because you don’t like his tattoo
Is justice,
I want no part of it.
Can you not see
If it can happen to him
It can happen to anyone.
Because he came here
Illegally
Is he less human?
Does anyone...

American Horror StoryReading. Crying. Screaming.
Begging you to listen
You only believe what makes you feel good
You Laugh, and say "don't you know I'm a Christian?"
The only thing you question is science and empathy
Not lies, not religion, and not your racist parent's beliefs
Unconcerned with how your decisions affect us here and now
because you're so sure god is coming...

Woven in LegacyThey were already awake,
The sky dark as the work ahead,
Hands stiff from la tierra,
Feet bruised from the miles,
Yet they never stopped.
The nights were too short,
The days stretched on,
Sleep was a luxury they couldn’t afford.
Still, they pressed forward,
One step, then another.
La tierra gave little,
But took all they had.
Baskets filled with fruit,
Hands worn from the toil,
Every mark,...

Look on the Bright SideMy wife picked up the phone and called her friend Lucy
Said we'll be in your haunts, we're coming to D.C.
"We found a hotel in Largo, it has a large pool
It will take our dog, and the kids don't have school."
Lucy replied "Largo hotels shelter many an illegal
"I suppose you picked it because it will allow...

Poor People of Our CountriesPoor people of our countries
Poor people everywhere
Poor people of Haiti
People who are poor, disoriented, and crazy
I will no longer say ‘poor Haiti’
Haiti is a country full of wealth
Haiti, a country full of resources
For others
Haiti is a paradise and rich in resources
For others
Haiti is a country full of hypocrisy
Of destitute, miserable and suffering peoples
Haiti is...

Breath of a Forgotten NightI don’t particularly remember it,
Yet when midnight whispers through the air,
—My heart aches.
A sudden hurt, a lonely ache,
As if the past is breathing near,
A moment lost, yet somehow known,
When the air smelled just like this,
And I was breaking too.
It feels like my heart is holding on,
Though my mind can’t trace the past.
Some feelings don’t need...

Just a Thought
Few things are worse than not having enough,
but always having none is worse than bad.
You know that conditions are getting tough,
when you start missing things you’ve not had.

The Story of my LifeUnfortunate are those who die in a foreign land~ by poet
The patch of sky overhead is alien
under my feet is a land unfamiliar
the air here doesn’t smell like home
the water here doesn’t taste as sweet,
Buried I’ll be far from where I belong.

Fear him! - Mar 6The foreign fiend, of feckless faith and folk,
Is feigning fealty to our fair fortress;—
To force his form and fold on finished fact,
He’ll find fit fashion of fetid fetish....

InfiltratedInfiltrated is what I rate it
the taking of our government raided
The voice of the President,
"It's gold plated."
Yet the relief of a nation
Is being impatiently waited
Jannes and Jabrese the officials they sent
Without anyone knowing what they represent
The ceasure of records, control
and the moneys being spent
All the good causes good government would grant
The poor...

Rambling PoetBeing forced to move places,
Because I have no control.
It shows how stuck I am;
How reliant I am;
How not free I am.
I am seventeen, feels like I could be ten.
Holed up in buildings,
Like a doll,
Kept safe from the world.
She may never escape,
Her destiny is and will always be this.
Only thing she did for herself is missing,
The...
