Native displacement
Genocidal history
Written in blood
Seeds of love scattered
Blown by winds of emotion
Clouds of teargas
All we have
Is a few short minutes
To be sons and daughters
Fathers and mothers
Friends and lovers
There is no color
No race
No nation
Only humanity
Let us help each other
To live our best lives
In peace and compassion
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #235: Rant!
I can’t breath
The presence of mind
To set the world on fire
Nothing left to lose
White
House afire
Hot with hate
Washed in vainglorious jactitation
Privilege
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #234: Presence
We are living in a time
When personal choices
Can impact so many others
As a matter of life or death,
Disparity never so clear
Selfishness disguised as freedom,
Choosing economy over humanity
Is the real tragedy
Because if we let go of man made doctrines,
Reject the fear of scarcity
And instead embrace abundance,
If we focus on taking care of one another
Everything will be all right
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #229: Choices
Where there was once a parking lot
An environmental education building
Now stands surrounded by a mass of water
As an ironic reminder
That everything is connected
and both actions and non-actions have consequences
Denial doesn’t change facts
Drowning in ignorance and greed
Climate change
Sea level rising
The naturalist shack
Returns to nature
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenges #221: Mass and #222: Connections
You may be feeling very small and insignificant right now, powerless even
You matter and you have a voice
Don’t give up hope
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up…
Tiny golden jewels
Sparkle in cold winter light
Wild beach rose
Your time to blossom will come
Spring thaw around the corner
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #218: Tiny
Feeling like a tourist in my own country
Stoned by words of hostility and division
Having to check my patience while struggling
To keep my sense of retribution in check
Because if I allow the malignant cancer of hate
To take hold of my soul
Then I become the problem
And not the solution
