There once was a man
Who lived a long long time ago
He went by the name of Jesus
Sadly He committed horrendous crimes
He healed the sick
Caused the blind to see
Walked on the water
And dispelled any form of iniquity
And for ALL the above He received the death penalty
Today there are those who steal, ****** and ****
Their sentence ...
You shall go to a place we call prison and reside there for free
There you shall receive three meals a day ... On time
You shall have a roof over your head and a warm bed to sleep in
You shall stay there for a period of time
While you're there you can watch TV and have full use of the gym
Once your stay has expired
You shall be released back into society
Where you most-likely will commit the same offence
But not to worry
You will always have a place to call home
Where the cycle shall repeat itself
And as for the rest of society
Who cares about the people who were affected by your heinous crimes
As long as you weren't injured while committing them
Sleep peacefully

Imagine a woman
Who walks with pride
Head held high
With secrets in her ears
And words in her mouth
She speaks with confidence
As if nothing was by her side
Who could hinder her thoughts
Or feelings

Imagine a woman
Who isn’t blinded by
What others think or feel
Shining brighter than those
Petty feelings

Imagine a woman
Who doesn’t chatter about the clutter
But creates compromises
Helping others
Being selfless

Imagine a woman
Shapeless and divine
Who doesn’t need others
To grow into a diverse human being

Imagine a woman
Who communicates with words
Using them like magic
To manipulate others
To bring chaos to her world
Subconsciously
Yet with purpose

Imagine a woman
Who holds so many secrets
If she was cut open
They would spill out
They would stare at you
Embarrassing

Imagine a woman
Who doesn’t understand death
And tries to defeat it
Using words

Imagine a woman
So powerful
She dances with death
Into existence
Through words

Imagine a woman
Who is so angry
She destroys death

Imagine a woman
Who is so sad
She buries death
With her

When people judge you harshly
Never judge them back
For the degree and measurement they have used to judge you by
Shall be the degree and measurement
Which shall be used when their judgement time arrives
Therefore don't worry about what people think or say
Why tire yourself about something you have no control over
Their words are likened to leaves blowing in the wind
Such people shall be trapped by their own words
And they have determined their own fate
The more stones such people throw
The more stones they shall reap
A harvest of stones
You reap what you throw

No sacred book,
Or talisman,
No prayer,
Or synagogue
Or mosque,
Can ever change this truth,
Ancient and antiquated:
When two are in love,
No matter the gender,
Culture,
Or identity,
The earth moves in wonder;
The mountains bow down in awe.

It’s raining heavily
And the water
Fills out a
Red, blue, yellow, and white
Wheelbarrow
It overflows.
The water is the teardrops
Of my people.  
Wanting to be treated like a human
And to be free.

Right to live they said, but are we living?
Right to equality they said, ever heard of the haves and haves not?
Right to freedom they said, then why do we hear the cries of protesters?
Right to worship they said, is it to worship them or God?
If hell is filled with fire, then is this hell?

Money value is higher than life,
Voices of the powerless are tunes to dance to,
Innocent cries are added lyrics to that tune,
Flowers of earth have stopped to bloom and shine,
Who cares! Let’s keep dancing with the same rhythm.

We are enslaved by those we chose to serve us,
We are trapped in our own minds,
We are robbed of our voices,
We are all cuffed in the guilty system,
Whoever stands for right is an enemy, but where is the innocence until proven guilty?

Religion is now a tool to create enmity,
Racism has become an open institution,
Politics is the main dish served for breakfast,
Hate is now a subject to home school our children,
Yet, we still wonder why humanity took a long holiday vacation.

Did you know that some nations are worth praying for?
Did you know that other nations are watched while they perish?
Did you know that it’s easier to hold a gun than buying a pen?
Are we entitled to question the calamities upon us?
Or should we change hearts to reach our destination safely?

As sunset to moon rise, we still have the strength,
For diversity, for equality, for peace and unity,
The bright future tomorrow is shaped by the beautiful today,
With togetherness comes love, kindness and tranquility,
Let’s not question but hope we should all be there.

These Rights, Those Rights
Big Rights, Small Rights
Natural or Divine Rights
Relative or Absolute Rights
Positive Rights, Negative Rights
Civil or Cultural Rights
Economic and Social Rights
His, Her or It Rights

I don't need collective Rights
I don't want individual Rights

Take back you all Rights
Give me just my one Right
Right to be left alone...
