Accolade and Review of my poem,  Free Speech

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Free Speech

Black cap and gown covering her
Blue eyes and Golden spun hair,
While the inspirational Statue of Liberty
Dares to hold its hand, plainly

Trying to obstruct her from
Speaking her mind, daring to come
Forward with the truth to resound
In media’s intifada while bound

In their thirst for FREE Speech
As they’re jailed for taking things out of reach
Of politicians suppressing truth
As the people dying aren’t white, but are couth

In their protests, while the police
Take away over two thousand in a thrice
To reduce the Roar for justice
That can never be returned to those advocating for peace.

Your time in office is running out
Ye of powerful friends in high places, scurry in a bout
Of flurried activities,  hidden from sight,
To better attain your objective: Money and Flight!

Featured on ILA Magazine visual art/ poetry feature, poem: Zippered Blood Red Lips

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Zippered Blood Red Lips

Free Speech, what a peach,
Red on one side, filled with blood,
Orange is getting ready to spill it on the beach,
Yellow glows to an attractive bond

Luring you in to speak and spill
Your life’s golden opinions
Only to be torn apart and grill
Your blue blood on a spit of confirmations

That your ideologies conform
Without opposition to ICE¹,
Or politically connected storm
Of people who can turn, in a thrice,

The ability to protest against
An imposed narrative that demands
People’s acceptance of it being a test
Of vindicating themselves for atrocities

Done in the name of ‘Being
GOD’S chosen people’ while
Everyone else’s opinion, crossing
Theirs is automatically treated vile

As a treacherous snake attacking
From any hidden point to use
Suprise as a ruse to killing
More and more babes, women, whose

Children, brothers, sisters, sires,
Have been decimated in honor
Of keeping Free Speech as peaches
That have red lips zipped in golden color.

‘A cage, no matter how beautiful,
Is still a cage’, and red lipped lips
Shiny in blood red rouge is blissful
In the knowledge that Free Speech becomes corpses.

Free Speech

Black cap and gown covering her
Blue eyes and Golden spun hair,
While the Statue of Liberty
Dares to hold its hand, plainly

Trying to obstruct her from
Speaking her mind, daring to come
Forward with the truth to resound
In media’s intifada while bound …

Breathe Through The Blood

I’m drowning in blood,
Blood of families blown asunder,
Asunder. Limbs and heads loll,
Loll, broken, decapitated, bloody,
Bloody from arteries leaking,
Leaking from wounds, impossible,
Impossible to tend, as hospitals,
Hospitals have lost the ability to heal,
Heal thousands of extreme wounds, …
