anti-critical race theory…

mind contrived stories
but no correlated facts
just mere conjecture
humans seem to do that well
confusing their myths as truths

 

 

with some political aid…

demons get their wings
every time there’s a murder
could be a bomb
or just a mass school shooting 
doesn’t matter as long as
they are innocent young souls

 

 

 

we’re still good…right…

i can’t verify it
but
someone said
that the two who
tore up the elks club
were twin brothers
like two nations 
fighting
a
proxy war
leaving the place
in
shambles
and
both of them
bloodied
and here’s the kicker
after all that
someone
at
the health clinic
heard one
of
them ask
we’re still good
right

 

 

anti-abortionist…

poor
little
homeless waif
you were promised
so much
but
in the end
all you’ve been given
are
worthless words
words
impossible
to digest
and
further
give off no warmth
when
winter comes
nor
cooling shade
from
summer’s heat
oh
but rest
assured
you
were
useful
in
getting
them
elected
but
you can’t take
that
to the bank

 

 

to those fearing woke…

my soul will not bleed
you may tear away my flesh
torture these old bones
scream obscenities
but i have learned of the truth
and understand my self-worth
so your words and deeds
cannot penetrate my soul
centuries of lies
used as societal chains
no longer bound my future
to your perspective of life
without breath or pulse
i would rather be than forced
to live as a slave to your will

 

 

polluted air…

breathing’s difficult
futilely gasping for air
not defiled with lies

 

 

 

but you close your eyes…

everybody knows
there ain’t no equal justice
those with money
use the law for protection
those without serious cash
are who they’re protected from
the law is mostly
a contract with the wealthy
to protect and serve
their personal needs and wants
while offering to the poor
a convoluted promise
like the biblical ones
where heaven’s a real reward
so too is justice
set forth as attainable
though neither one of the two
has ever been proven true

just a hunch…

was just suspected
although no clear evidence
but thought that freedom 
was never attainable
even with the chains removed
since shackles of laws were formed

 

 

let the record show…

buried beneath
the rubble of political rhetoric
children
dying
in
the cancerous womb
of
ambition
and
greed
let the record show
as the children
cried out for help
and their bodies
were ripped apart
by assault weapons
only
self-serving words
were heard
from
washington’s marble halls
let the record show
those
who have sworn
to
serve
the nation’s people
selflessly
no longer wear
the nation’s flag
upon their lapel
but
weapons
used to kill
our children
proclaiming
the nation is second
to their quest for power
let the record show
their desire for power
is so strong
they are
willing
to devour
the entrails
of
children
born and unborn
let the record show

 

 

test preparation…

the brown bag prophet
was busy writing
at a park bench
when i was
on my way home
when i inquired
as to
what he was writing
the prophet
said
i’m preparing
some questions
to replace
those removed
by
the college board
about
real
american history
regarding blacks
what do you
think about
this one
what does
the name
desantis
have in common
with the following words
racist
homophobic
fascist
apartheid
maybe this one
should also
be
included
how is
mussolini
to
hitler
as
desantis
is to
trump
oh hell
maybe we should
do away
with the whole
college board
since
it seems
just to be
another
political entity
and
god knows
we don’t need
another
one
of
those
