clinging to existence …

For some of us this may be the future. For all of us death is the future.
Do not fear the end for it is the great equalizer. Rather, make use of every minute you are given in this life. To accomplish, not defile.

he
was
curled
into
a ball
lying
at
the feet
of
death
crying out
for
a god
he
didn’t believe in
nor
had considered
until
his lungs
would not fill
with air
and
a drowning feeling
firmly grasped
his body
submerged
in despair
he recalled
when breathing
was
so
simple
no thinking
required
but now
each
breath
struggled
to
lift
the weight
of
death
from
his chest
no
moments
of
life passing
before
his eyes
just
a pounding heart
sweat
without
sweating
the anxiety
of
death
and
empty promises
of
tomorrow
then
suddenly
it
was
over

televised crimes against humanity…

This poet communicates observations needed to be expressed.

steel clad boots
on
city streets
black batons
strike
the faces
of
freedom
faces
shrouded
in
clouds of teargas
and
flash grenades
young warriors
against
trump’s schutzstaffel
mercenaries
masquerading
as
law-abiding agents
of
justice
but
merely
soldiers of fortune
contracted
to
carry out
a fascist
oppression
of
the rights
of
american citizens
all
this
to appease
one
man’s lust
for
power
and
the need
to play
the game
and
to win
the game
at
any cost

coronapocalypse…

There is truth in this.

Read Between the Minds

no face mask
required
presidential funeral wake
for
those citizens
taking part
in
genocide
campaign donations
required
leave your coughs
at
door
and
always drink
with
two hands
stumbling on ramps
shows
your solidarity
with
mindless obedience
to
bathroom scriptures
offering
you
salvation
when
you’re
dead and gone
as
consequence
of
listening
to
fool
on
capital hill

an honest mistake…

He’ll never learn the value of human life, and not profit.

You are wrong. History is watching.

truth always survives
is what i believed but found
that was just a myth
a story for the hopeless

article 92…

This poet never fails to reveal the truth in his words.

Read Between the Minds

we the people
of
these united states
do
hereby
charge
donald j trump
under
article 92
of
the uniform code
of
military justice
for
dereliction of duty
and hereby
call for
his immediate arrest
and
confinement
until
such time
as
a trial
can be convened
to delineate
the duration
of
his imprisonment
let the record show
that
innocent non-combatants
and
his own troops
have been killed
as a result
of
his performance
in
the office
of
the president
quote

lynchings…

God, will anything change?

Read Between the Minds

with eyes
that’s
seen too much pain
the old man
said
i’ve seen
these things
before
the strange fruit
that
hangs
from
the poplar tree
most times
its
skin is charred
or
covered with
tar
but always
some kind
of
whore’s around
smearing
red lies
on
the lips
of
others
these days
the whore’s
in
the white house
helping
to lynch
the press
and
everyone
who
seeks
to be
free

reopening america’s schools…

We now know how well opening up California and Florida went.

Read Between the Minds

small
and
insignificant child
you
will be
canonized
some day
as
you
and
your peers
those
unwitting martyrs
to
the cause
of
the global economy
go back
to
school
so
your
parents
can
go back
to work
your deaths
will be
for
the greater good
of
the profit margin
and
the president’s
re-election campaign
as well as

bolstering
his
ego

those above the law…

Read Between the Minds

you’re vinegar drops
on the crucifix of time
our blood warmed your feet
but shed blood turns to lava
and so our fate will be yours

500 brigades to their death…

I will be soon posting thoughts about the tearing down of statues. I am not a racist but feel history is history. It cannot be erased, but knowledge of it’s existence must be acknowledged. What comes next, the burning of books telling the truth. We are not perfect and our children should know this.

Read Between the Minds

it was
to my understanding
hand-to-hand combat
though
there were
supporting efforts
the fights
were
on an individual basis
as such
no memorial has been planned
yet
these
hundred thousand souls
should not be
forgotten
for
when a soul
battles for life
the battle
is for all life
all those
that soul touched
or
would have touched
have
also suffered
death
some will know
to mourn
others
will only feel a sense
of
emptiness
not knowing

why
nor
could it be explained
if they knew
it was
the death
of
a soul not met
that created this void
in their life
for how does one explain
the death
of
so many
to satisfy
the insane aspirations
of
one man
