goddess cry
I am not pleased by
the repulsive, delirious show
of mean, bitter men in suits
driven by lust as they
heave death and crush the
dreams of girls aching
to be mothers…NO…
my blood boils red hot

Nevermore – NaPoWriMo 2017 #29
Nevermore…
Should the stomachs of poor children groan
for each deserves love and a comfortable home;
the freedom to be without cruel sticks and stones.
Nevermore…
Should the drumbeats of conflict and war
send our young, future’s promise, to settle the score
of cowardly men who want more and more.
Nevermore…
Should the outcast and poor refugee
be loathed and abused, for they deserve to be
welcomed, embraced in community.
Nevermore…
Should the old, forgotten, infirmed,
be denied the respect that they’ve rightfully earned.
They’ve lessons to teach if we’ll listen and learn.
Nevermore…
Should women be ignored or dismissed
as the weaker of sexes, for I’ll tell you this…
there is no stronger force than an empowered “miss”.
Nevermore…
Should we idolize power and spew
our poisonous plans for a cold selfish few
while the rest of us scrape along just to make do.
Nevermore…Nevermore…Nevermore.
Now you may think I am being naive
to think things might change if we’d all just believe.
Well I can imagine, that’s what dreamers do.
I know that eventually dreams do come true.
So I hope for a day when our troubles are few;
when the word nevermore is a word never used.

The Resistance – NaPoWriMo 2017 #28
one hundred
days of vile
gaslit haze, of
us versus
them, insane power
plays; let us
never forget who
we are, not just
yet…the resistance is
legion, we’re on
to their treasonous
detours from
reason, the rape
of our resources,
drumbeats of
war by cowardly
twits who build
walls and slam
doors, with disdain
for the outcast the
sick and the
poor…oh let it be
known that we’re
on to their
schtick and
we
will
survive
what these tyrants
contrive, just as others
before us, we’ll settle
the score; let justice
prevail, let the truth
be restored; it’s time
to get tough and
demand to be
heard…
enough is
enough is
enough

an uncivil civilization – NaPoWriMo 2017 #26
an uncivil civilization
civilizations
are ultimately undone
that are not civil

NaPoWriMo 2017 #26 – the challenge today was to explore what future archeologists or aliens might think of us. I had started to write an epic historic poem based on what I imagine might happen if we don’t come to our senses…but I decided less is more. So I wrote a simple Haiku based on a digital collage I pieced together using snippets of several photos from Pixabay. I do hope this turns out to be a cautionary tale. Peace. ☮️
