What Crosses My Mind

  • Being Alone

    I suppose it’s a state of mind, My world crumbling around me. Little sound bytes of tyranny Veiled by loyal mouthpieces. We sometimes feel isolated By surges of the unthinkable. We wonder out loud some times, Believing the mystery awaiting. Even then the facade is stronger, Our words are tied in knots. When a wish…

  • Supremacy Court

    Decisions seem beyond the concept of reality, or perhaps we speak of truth, our society, the world we seem to trust and find faith, is simply lost inside a hypocrisy. We are a country with mixed messages, mixed races, mixed emotions, all drawn together by the masses, those that seemingly decide our future based upon…

  • Her Eyes

    She sits with cold reasoning trying to believe knowing everyone around her disagrees decides to illicit a remark cements her current posture. If I look across the room I can see she is different, her burqa wraps her fears inside eyes with tears imagine fear. Yet this is all we have, the only part of…

  • Donald Trump & Everyone Else ( a rant )

    Here’s the thing. I wrote a poem based completely upon the persona that Donald Trump showed America in an interview shortly before he gave a campaign speech in Iowa. What is really frightening is that people will actually take the time to listen to him. The man is a fraud of himself and he doesn’t…

  • Racism, Hate, Evil, Bigot … Reality

    I want to wrap my head around the pain, because that is where we belong, we cannot forget the horrific loss, the tragedy of humanity at its finest, buried within the wild constraints of evil. Where does it lie, just waiting? I know myself when I walk into a room, a certain baggage wrapped underneath…

  • Which Newspaper Will You Read Tonight

    I used to get newsprint on my fingertips, after a few hours of reading the news, today, its different, I haven’t the trust in the words anymore. ~ I plan to continue to know about life as it applies to daily needs and wants. Peace and tranquility would be a lovely story to read today.…

  • Election Night Blues

    I voted for the other guy, because his wardrobe looked sleek. She is so damn hot I couldn’t imagine another candidate to tweak. For that is what lies ahead a tweak of a word with a signature. When a person decides the wish to lead our country’s adventure. Have you any idea the scrutiny any…

  • Political Society

    The neighbor lady down the street from her speaks well around election time for sure. She won’t question her on another day but the news rather steered her views that way. Seems the economics of the times call for unity, with time, before we all fall inside the cavern; unraveling hope, the scourge limit our President’s true…

  • Maya’s Lasting Impression

    I have tears this evening Pools, welling in my eyes Imagining a spirit soaring Streaking across our skies. Hers, a delightful voice Allowing us our choice To recognize the human condition To celebrate her marvelous vision. ~ We were hearing your words Welcoming a stately event All of us gave pause afterwards This new sound…

  • War in Humanity

    I listened to your crying in the other room One silly non-descript summer afternoon I remember wondering now why the tears Always sure to separate my own quiet fears At my age couldn’t really be sure what is meant By daily activities causing feelings that resent The world’s energy around us playing out ludicrous Compassionate…
