Divisiveness.
Anger. Fear.
Trump-induced terrorism
threatening all that we hold dear.
Proceedings continue.
Congress pulls through
with compassion, candor, morality,
restoring hope in our humanity.

Protect the Count
Count the Vote
Protect the Vote
Protect the Count of Votes
No Steal to Stop
Admit your flop
Democracy stays afloat
Let-Me-Spell-It-Out
Open up your pig-pink eyes
Stop acting so damned surprised.
Filled your campaign with mail-in lies
Told your team to vote one day, one size
While others cast ballots at home, saved lives.
Their votes are counted, pro-blue votes rise.
Trump Timeline
Churches open by Easter
Vaccine by end of October
Victory by Friday
Stop the Count?
Stop the threats.
Stop the lies.
Stop claiming states like they’re your prize.
Stop the whining.
Stop the boasts.
Stop the all caps Twitter posts.
Stop the tricks.
Stop the deceit.
Stop spurring violence when you’re the cheat.
Rules of Trump’s Regime
Small government (of one)
Guns to fight tyrants (back into office)
Rights to the states (who don’t vote us out)
A Prayer
Red and white
Black and blue
Lady Liberty
Broken, bruised
Let’s work as one
Start our land anew
Build a system
that isn’t skewed.
There’s work to do,
and only then,
can we feel proud
to be American again.

Sorry, Not Sorry
I’m sorry if my poems offend you.
I’m not sorry for sharing my thoughts.
I’m sorry that I’m not perfect.
Today, this is the best I’ve got.
I’m sorry for my ignorance.
I learn more every day.
And I’m sorry if you somehow think
you’re above the same.
Black Lives Matter.
Peaceful protests,
somber, mourning.
Raucous riots,
burning, growing.
How many headlines
must we see?
Innocent deaths,
desperate pleas,
rightful anger,
killers set free,
before we achieve
equality?
Humpty Dumpty for President
Extremist groups
on both sides.
Politics widening
the divide.
Everyone’s right.
We know nothing at all.
Our country teeters atop a wall.
This may be the season
that
we
fall.

Future / Fear
All Men…
Are created
by women.
So show
some damn
respect.
Think twice
before you cross us
or slide your hand
below our neck.
All men
are created
equal,
but we’re
ripe to take the lead.
Too stupid to believe it?
The world
f
a
l
l
s
for your conceit.
Selective
“You justify killing embryos.”
“You excuse those who cage kids.”
“We believe in the Father Almighty.”
“But you treat His earth like shit.”
“You’re socialists.”
“You’re fascists.”
“He’s senile.”
“Such an ass.”
Which one of us is without sin?
And which stone will you cast?
Social (Media) Circus
We’re blind to what we need to see.
Our ears have been made deaf.
Too damned self-righteous
to admit our problems, right and left.
We claim to be united,
yet we compartmentalize.
It’s easy to see what we want
when feeds dictate our lives.
We excuse our views,
watch our side’s news,
so we can sleep at night
We refuse to budge,
but when you’re judged
will you still think you’re right?
Everyone’s Afraid
Afraid of differences.
Afraid of pretending.
Afraid to listen.
Afraid of offending.
Afraid of dying.
Afraid to live their lives.
Afraid of independent thought.
Afraid of the mindless hive.
How can I so much as whisper
when I’m afraid of those who shout?
How can I spark lasting change
when I’m scared I’ll be shut out?
In a world where everyone’s afraid,
let’s come together,
let’s find small ways,
to show empathy,
to see different’s okay.
The root of our dreams,
at the end of the day,
life, liberty, happiness –
they’re all the same.
Let’s come together.
It’s the only way.
Let’s come together
and be
brave.
