L G B ???

Unsplash Alexander Grey

Why is it that some who are bullied and broken,

Rejected, yet used by the right as a token,

Do the same thing that was once done to them.

They lose all perspective of where they have been.

They now drink the water drawn from the mainstream.

Are poisoned like them thinking they’re now supreme.

Why don’t they support the rights of TQ

To express who they are to their own selves be true.

Some groups even say now they’re just L G B.

They drove the bus over Q plus and the T.

Now just like MAGAs they kick family out,

Always just one vote away from their clout.

With MAGA in power they’ll be forced to feel

When hypocrites learn that Karma is real.

Safe golden years

Unsplash Andrea Popa

I felt safe in my country for 59 years.

For the last seven, I am anxious with fear.

Democracy’s fate is deeply in danger.

Fascists are taking our rights with such anger.

They want to go backwards and live in the past.

Don’t want to cast votes, want stones to be cast.

We can’t accept loss of inalienable rights

By a court, that unjustly, was stacked to rewrite

The laws we thought settled a long time ago.

Pretending our progress was only a show.

We only have hope if we save our Democracy.

Our founders were clear we are not a theocracy.

We must reinstate, church and state, separation,

Let laws progress and address reparation

Of rights to all people so none should have fear.

So, at present, and future, all have safe golden years.

Diversity Tokens

Why would black and brown people and women support Him?

When Trump, he does nothing, but loathe and abhor them

Why grovel to white men for crumbs off their table?

Why join the sick party that wants them disabled?

Can’t beat them then join them! Be winners and choosers!

But choosing Trump’s cult made them beggars and losers

For they were just used to keep Trump in his tower

As fools they pumped fists to keep him in power

Saying ” Hey look at me, this man’s not a racist”

“I’m part of his party and I’m on his A list”

“I’m a good MAGA woman and I treat my man good”

“Trump rules like my man does, like a MAGA man should”

And until they wake up from this bad MAGA dream

And do inner healing to get self esteem

They will keep being Tokens and keep being used

To mask their Cult leader who loves to abuse

ALL women and people of color who hurt

When a racist misogynist lies and diverts

To mask true agendas and hide MAGA schemes

With Diversity Tokens that keep white men supreme

The Firm

Unsplash

For hundreds of years to keep their blood “pure” they married their cousins so they could ensure a blue blooded line would be their succession. Above all the rest, they’d be best without question.

But then they seemed changed when William met Kate. “Look we’re evolving and changing our fate”! We opened our doors! Let a commoner in. In just a few years we’ll forgive her, her sin. She’ll be one of us, white, stoic, and silent. She’ll birth us an heir, and some spares, be reliant. But, when came their best chance for the most evolution, they proved that their change was just an illusion.

Buried deep down in the Firm’s inner core were roots of racism they’d learned to ignore. You can’t build an empire if all humans have rights. “We’re just raising the lowly with all of our might”. Yet now all they say to this day “We’re not racists”. Their racism won’t go away til they face this.

Admit that their blue blooded tales were just wrong. Come down from their thrones, where all people belong. Denounce what they’ve done in the past as The Firm. Start true evolution and show they can learn. And then in the future if they’ve proven their change. Harry and Meghan might then re-engage.

Narcissist Vectors

Unsplash CDC photo

To get the vaccine or wear a damn mask, to prevent us from dying, is not a huge ask.

Yet selfish abusers, just do as they please, don’t care if they’re spreading a deadly disease.

Their choice might infect an elder or child who have rights but no choice if their body’s defiled

By a virus they spread through “liberty rights” when they choose to be vectors emboldened by spite.

So we have to make rules to protect all the rest who above their own freedom they choose what is best.

To take the vaccine yet must still wear a mask because narcissist vectors won’t help with the task

Of doing what’s right to protect many others; instead invite death that affects many others.

So “My body My choice” no longer applies when their body and breath could become weaponized!

I will not forget!

Unsplash

My daughter’s whole family just had to move

From red state to blue state, they had to choose.

With fascists in power their dread would alarm them.

So they chose to leave so their state couldn’t harm them.

They chose to have freedoms, a vote with a voice.

Autonomous bodies with freedom of choice.

And for all of you assholes who voted for fascists,

Or for a third party to burn us to ashes.

I might forgive you, in time, but I’m done.

You’re out of my life, you lost, but I won.

I know who you are now, you don’t give a shit,

About rights for all people that you have now hit

In the face with white power that puts all in danger.

And you don’t give a damn that you hurt us in anger.

Your choice that hurts all, you will live to regret!

What you’ve put us through, I will not forget!

We the People!

Unsplash

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life , liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

All of these rights were proclaimed at our founding.

So many still fight for these rights, it’s astounding.

Women, black people, and LGBTQ

Inalienable rights we still have to pursue.

For we still aren’t equal to wealthy white men.

Especially now, we’re regressing again.

Why must we march, begging for rights?

Innate and intrinsic, we should not have to fight!

Make OUR freedoms legal along with free will!

Who we love, our own bodies, and our vote be instilled,

As rights for posterity, we must finally be Equal.

Inalienable rights for all “We the people”!

“I’m not a racist”!

Unsplash

How many believe, “I’m not a racist”?

If you question their hate they always say this.

When they don’t believe in systemic racism.

They don’t believe in a white privileged system.

They don’t want a person of color above them.

Don’t want races mixing, might like, but not love them.

If a person of color has their status upgraded,

They’d better be grateful enough or they’re hated.

If you can’t deny all of these things you’re a racist.

Unconscious or conscious these two are the basis

Of racism’s hold on our lives and our systems.

If we don’t call it out we can never resist them.

And heal from within, then from inside to out.

To change people then systems and bring this about

The ones who are healing racism must say this

You are racist until you become Anti-Racist.

Make America great again??

Unsplash

Make America great again?? Was America great when we first began?

Were all people equal with inalienable rights? No, just the wealthiest men who were white.

Were we great when we conquered and wiped out the natives? When we marched who was left to their forced reservations?

When we kidnapped black people by force and enslaved them? Then “freed” them with promises, we never gave them?

When we didn’t help Jews fleeing from Nazis? Our country is guilty, we did these atrocities.

America has never been great, is the truth. Our foundation was built using force and abuse.

With disdain for the other, we denied their humanity. To believe we have ever been great is insanity.

So now it is time to rebuild our foundation. Open the heart and the soul of our nation.

Atone for our sins of the past that were lethal. Create a new country where we’re all truly equal.

Then on the 4th of July, celebrate, we have healed from our past and can finally be Great! ❤️

Comfort Zone

Unsplash

Born into my world with discomfort and strife.

I didn’t have boundaries most of my life.

Told, where to go, what to do, everyday.

I was so anxious, I rarely would play.

I spent my adulthood working on healing.

Getting in touch with my unconscious feeling.

I uncovered the truth, I’m a sensitive soul.

That needs peace and comfort to keep myself whole.

Now I have boundaries, I learned to say no!

I find peace when I stay in my own Comfort Zone.

The Snake, you didn’t see

Unsplash

Everyday around the clock a time bomb ticks away.

Trump and Musk refuse to stop, ignoring judges stays.

As they destroy democracy there’s no one left to stop them.

SCOTUS said autocracy is fine as Trump now mocks them.

They gave him full immunity to take our revenue,

To shoot oppressed communities, on his fifth avenue.

This felon has been proven right, he knew that he could do this.

He felt the venom of the right and knew that he could use this.

But what the hateful right can’t see is he will shoot them too.

Or kill them with his hateful bite Trump is the Snake, it’s true!

He tried to warn you in his poem that you should let him freeze.

But, when you’re left to die, you’ll know him. The Snake, you didn’t see!

Ruby Bridges

Historic archives

Her heart and soul would change the world. A bold, courageous, little girl walked with Marshals into school, as racist mobs would ridicule, this six year old with racist slurs. And still her heart was not deterred.

Miss Henry taught her all alone. Empathy was rarely shown by students as she faced the fear of hatred spewed at her for years.

All this to get an education?? She learned we are a racist nation! Yet never missed a day of school. Though every day was hard and cruel.

Her heart was strong, her soul was old so she could walk the hardest road. She walked a road of deep divisions, but not to wide for Ruby Bridges.❤️

Rhyme and Reason

Unsplash James Lee

Is there rhyme and reason, for where we are today?

Can these days of crime and treason, be thought or prayed away?

Will we survive these darkest days and find some resolution

to madness oligarchs display, crashing institutions?

Why would many vote for this? Why don’t the MAGAs care?

They don’t want others to exist that cause them to compare,

ancient laws, restrictive ways controlling them with shame,

to open minds, predictive ways, accepting truth, the aim.

So the reason for apocalypse with all this crime and treason

is to make most choose to stop all this, become a time and season.

A time for pain and reckoning and getting consequences.

A season of awakening and coming to our senses.

So, one day we will all look back to see our MAGA season

united us through Trump’s attacks, to find our rhyme and reason.

Mark of their Beast

Unsplash

Ye without sin, cast the first stone. They immediately stopped and left her alone.

Would this even happen, if it happened today?

Would the MAGA cult listen to what He would say?

Welcome the refugee into their home.

Take care of the hungry, those sick and alone.

Treat others the way they want to be treated.

Sell all their possessions and then follow Jesus.

Could one MAGA “Christian” check one off this list?

No, they’ve all become white nationalists.

They are so full of hate their hearts are all numb

As they anxiously wait Armageddon to come.

Yet if it could happen the way they believe

they’re too numb to realize they’ve been deceived.

Most of them gladly lined up to receive

their red MAGA hats, the mark of their beast.

As they march to the battle, Christ consciousness wins.

When the MAGA beast’s cult finally comes to it’s end.

Who they’re meant to be

Unsplash

Why do some cling to patriarchal systems? Some men want return to old ways to assist them in getting a keeping a wife that can’t leave. Tied into a system they’re taught to believe was created by god to procreate children. That being a wife and a mom should fulfill them. But what this creates is two lives without growth. This imbalance of power will stifle them both.

Men have to learn that coercion of women will not get them love, because love’s freely given. Love can’t be forced or kept in a cage. We must move forward into a new age. A man must respect and show love to attract a woman who stays for true love not an act. And together support the dreams of each other. If that’s a career or a father and mother. They can grow and expand because they are free. All can become who they’re meant to be.

Uphold equal rights.

Unsplash

Patriarchal roots feed most toxic systems.

Most see the problems, most choose to dismiss them.

Misogyny, homophobia, systemic racism,

xenophobia, transphobia, extensive classism.

Groups daring protest that don’t want to yield

Are shut down and out by the power men wield.

Toxic men do not want an equal position.

They blame the oppressed who protest their tradition.

So women, black people, and LGBTQ

who work ten times harder to make upward moves,

are blamed for the downfall of men who once worked

in the top jobs held mostly by men with huge perks.

Now they can’t handle the truth that some face.

The ones given chances, worked hard, now replace

these men who in privilege who sailed to the top

we’re just average joes who now want to stop

all those thought below them,”inferior people”.

The ones who know well innate rights make us equal.

Who stand on their own and are rightfully prized

for hard work that they’ve done to uphold equal rights.

MAGA “Christians”

Unsplash

MAGA “Christians“ cannot see

Their own overt hypocrisy.

Spending lives evading truth.

Indoctrinated in their youth.

Shamed about their normal feelings.

Learned denial, and lie concealing.

Spawned monsters in their dark unconscious

Which will emerge, depraved and noxious.

Acting out repressed desire

On innocents they breathe their fire.

Then to hide their awful acts

Project their deeds in vile attacks.

On others seen as enemies

All innocent of acts like these.

We cannot change these hypocrites

Only Karma changes this.

In time the house of cards they built,

Will crash, exposing all their guilt.

The MAGA movement cannot last,

Because they’re moving towards the past.

What they have sown, they now must reap.

As we move on in quantum leaps!

Overseers

British library Unsplash

Their skin is dark but they take part oppressing their own people.

To oversee won’t make them free, will never make them equal.

They’ll play their role and sell their soul to get a sense of power.

Walk on backs from brown to black to clean up ivory towers.

In hopes to share the wealth in there; one day they might arrive.

But there’s no way white men can stay supreme and let them thrive.

So now it’s time to stop the crime of hating who they are.

They must embrace, themselves, their race, quit jumping white men’s bars.

The only test they need to best is overcoming fears.

Til they arrive where freedom thrives, no place for overseers.

Free speech

Getty, Unsplash

Is Elon Musk a free speech absolutist?

He bought Twitter, then X’ed it, and then chose to use it

to X out free speech of the ones who would question

a billionaire’s drug addled dream and obsession.

He wants the whole world to do what he wills.

To wreak worldwide havoc and send us the bill.

And now he has bought from Don Trump, his crime boss,

Get Out of Jail Free Cards, at a minimal cost.

But their towers built high, from which all fascists fall,

will in time tumble down, as these fools lose it all.

Then we will regain authentic free speech.

Speak truth from the heart, and from this we will teach,

free speech is precious and no one should abuse it.

We’ll be, abuse free, true speech, absolutists.❤️

Holiday season

Aron Burden Unsplash

I really don’t like the holiday season.

I just like the days that don’t have a reason.

No reason to clean or to cook for two days,

no reason to small talk a whole day away.

I don’t like the stress of high expectations.

Putting up, taking down, the fake decorations.

I’m sure that most people would call me a Grench,

who likes spoiling fun with my big monkey wrench.

I guess this began when I had to do

most of the work to prepare and get through.

It becomes overwhelming the older you get.

All the emotional energy spent.

Trying to please the family and friends,

that’s why I can’t wait til all of it ends.

That’s why after New Years I feel like a weight

is off of my shoulders so then I celebrate

the days I have left that don’t have a reason.

Until once again it is holiday season.

The Oligarch storm

Unsplash

I couldn’t imagine, in my much younger days, that Orwell’s dystopian world was delayed

to forty years later, 2024, when we’d bear the brunt of the Oligarch storm.

We’re in the same cycle where Autocrats fall, with their Oligarch masters who paid for it all.

A cycle where people are done being hurt in culture wars made by elites to divert

the masses they rob to fill up their coffers. Stoke hate of the other, with no good to offer,

just suffering, pain, and mental distress. They don’t give a shit about us or what’s best.

So after we’ve suffered enough by their hands. We’ll all get together and make new demands.

Rights for all people with fair and just laws. Healthcare, housing, and food for us all.

Our inalienable rights will be the new norm, after we’ve weathered the Oligarch storm.

Civil disobedience

Once again, we are called to Civil disobedience.

When a rouge Supreme Court is not freeing, it’s impeding us.

When fascistic Justices rule against human rights,

we shouldn’t obey unfair laws made in spite

of our Founders’ intent, to improve and progress.

They wanted our future evolved, not regressed.

The constitution was meant to expand.

Originalists want to go back and to ban

inalienable rights, that they now ignore.

For fifty years settled, now settled, no more.

Body autonomy again must be won.

Without it, freedom can never be done.

Freedom to marry whoever you love.

Freedom to vote for your choice or for none.

Freedom to travel where you want to go.

Freedom to learn what you want to know.

Dr. King taught what we shouldn’t accept.

Laws that infringe on our rights won’t be kept!

“Color Blind”🌈

Unsplash

A poem I read, said people of color, who protest and stand up for their race,

create more racism which carries it further, so should stop standing up and embrace

what the “color blind” say: “Skin colors don’t matter, we only see what’s deep inside.”

“If people of color would all get together and simply choose to decide

that racism’s over and everyone’s equal; stop saying their rights are denied,

then those stops by the cops that sometimes turn lethal would end when they start to comply.”

Why can’t they feel how demeaning it is to say racial abuse is their fault?

Do they really not see how obscene this shit is, if denied, it all comes to a halt?

Unconscious denial keeps racism going, and repesses white privileged shame.

They prefer “color blindness” and denial of not knowing they’re giving survivors the blame.

When we finally atone for enslaving black people and heal racist systems we’ll find,

without shame we’ll embrace diversity’s colors, celebrate we are not color blind.🌈

Where Phoenix’s rise!

Unsplash

“Your body my choice!”, screams the deranged.

We’re hoarse, with no voice, screaming for change.

We’ve always been prey, still hunted for sport.

Made legal today by a rogue Supreme Court.

Women were wronged, Roe wasn’t forever.

For years the Court longed to kill it together

with marriage rights given to LGBTQ.

And the Civil rights fight we thought won, they’ll kill too.

So now we must grieve our world of delusion.

Our whole ninth amendment they ruled was illusion.

We must face this dark night and fully surrender

to know we have intrinsic rights, and remember,

they can’t give or take inalienable rights.

The Court we thought gave them then took back in spite,

must now face our Phoenix’s fire transformation,

burn nadir to zenith to forge new foundations.

So people whose rights are denied by false laws

can embody the truth, innate rights transcend all.

Create whole new worlds on the ashes of lies,

innately true worlds, where Phoenix’s rise!

Finally awake

Unsplash

I am finally awake and fully aware.

Half of this country has proved they don’t care,

about human rights or the freedom of others.

They don’t give a shit about daughters and mothers,

or black and brown people, or LGBTQ.

Not feeling our pain? You’ll feel it soon.

When a country guts freedom and half lose their rights,

the wound will be fatal. No rights will survive.

They prayed for Armageddon

My mind was numb with hopium. I wanted to believe,

that we’d keep moving forward, the next day we’d be relieved.

But as I stood in line to vote my gut began to know,

that once again we’d have to watch another fascist show.

We know the players very well, we’ve seen them all for years.

The Antichrist, Apprentices, the cult, brainwashed with fear.

Just like their bible told them, they would feast upon his lies.

As they project their evil, it’s themselves they all despise.

So I’ve given up my hopium, I’m choosing now to see.

For now, I’ve done all I can do to stop the evil Beast.

They prayed for Armageddon to destroy their devil’s spawn.

So I’ll sit back and watch them fight themselves until they’re gone.

Neurodivergent

Unsplash

If you feel overwhelmed when tasks become urgent,

You might just be, neurodivergent.

If you like to keep things or you’re constantly purging.

You might just be, neurodivergent.

You replay what you say and rehearse other versions,

You might just be, neurodivergent.

If you don’t like demands and they must be averted,

You might just be, neurodivergent.

If you’d rather be home and alone, introverted,

You might just be, neurodivergent.

If attention takes flight when your sight is diverted,

You might just be, Neurodivergent.

Classist systems and justice you know aren’t convergent

You might just be, Neurodivergent.

If you fight for all rights like a warrior insurgent.

You might just be, Neurodivergent.

We came to this world to transform, be emergent,

To change our direction to a new road divergent.

Caws and effects

Unsplash

For years I have worked, almost everyday,

To clear my unconscious I once hid away.

Deep fear and sadness, anger and shame,

That made me project and unconsciously blame.

Like clock work the cycles would come back around

Delusions created with feelings unbound.

But I would get signs to help me to wake.

From crows constant cawing to dreams of earthquakes.

These unconscious cues of things yet to come

I needed to feel to stop being numb

Awaken to heal so I wouldn’t project

Delusions on others and stop to reflect.

So many times now, I have been saved

From hurting my loved ones, myself, and my fate.

So I’ve learned how to stop recreating mistakes,

From the caws of the crows and effects of earthquakes.

Natives

Should our Natives, farther south,

be begging for asylum

in lands they held ten thousand years

before we could deny them?

When the white man, as invaders,

by mere presence, claimed command,

enslaving sovereign people,

and stealing native land?

Is this why their descendants

turn their backs on native souls?

Don’t want long lost survivors

reclaiming what they stole.

Until we open up our hearts,

share wealth with native people,

help all of the Americas

be prosperous and equal,

our karma for the trail of tears

will keep us building walls,

to keep out native people

who in truth should have it all.

Liberty Bell

Forever flawed, and silent bell,

A metaphor that fits us well.

Fits our Declaration’s flaw

Still, liberty is not for all.

Pursuits of happiness in life,

For many still, it’s mostly strife.

Until we all have equal rights,

The parts within our whole will fight.

Til cracks are seen in silent bells

As metaphor, and breaks the spell

Of lies that we have ever been

Free for more than just white men.

Til reparations pave the way

To live what Declaration’s say.

Self evident when all are equal,

Inalienable, all rights, all people.

Words and bells don’t make it real

True liberty, we all must feel!
