Poetry is not dead
Poetry will never die
Poets do not lie
Poetry is naturally well-fed
With vibrant poems every second
Of the day to make the soil more fecund
The brain is alert and strong
Nothing can possibly go wrong
Poetry is ubiquitous
Poetry is **** and serendipitous
Poetry is eternal
Poetry is sentimental
Poetry is empirical
Poetry is spiritual
Poetry will live forever
And Poets will never fear terror
Poets will chase away lies and put (to sleep) to bed
The truth every night for a better tomorrow
Poetry is not dead
But simply take notes to ease any sorrow
Poetry is not dead
Poetry is inordinately well-fed
Poetry is hot, super hot with Hip-Hop
Poetry is well, hot and alive
Smile, think, write, rap, read, dance and hop
And give high to all Poets: high five
Poetry is hot, alive and well at your nearest libraries
At literature conferences and at your closest universities.

Children are
Crammed into school busses
Shoved into neat little hallways.
Holding bulletproof backpacks.
They are
Told to be respectful
While being inferior.
They are quiet
Stationary
Silent.
The teachers value them with letter grades
And paper.
They are told
/You are the future/
While they live in a present
That treats them like nothing.
They are trained for the
Factories
And adults around them are shocked when
They cannot function
Outside a factory.
And when the children mention this
They will be told
/You are lucky.
I had it harder./
While they are shot down in schools.

It’s horrifying and appalling but true that $\text{EC § 35330}$ prioritizes insurance money and the fiscal " health " of the district over the individual safety of you, your family, and especially your CHILDREN .
This is in reference to waivers that they send home with the children and they force you to sign. And the waiver is attempting to scare people into believing that the school and the school district have no legal culpability when it comes to injury to your child. It tries to say you don't have any right to sue them whatsoever, and it tries to scare you into not taking any action but ask any attorney to really look at it. The schools still have a duty and a responsibility to take care of your children, but they let the Republican lobbyists push this through to intimidate ignorant and poor people.
Don't sit still for your family or your so-called friends or coworkers. calling it “doom and gloom” that's a weak minded cop out and it doesn't address the issue at all because it’s easier to mock the messenger than confront the math: a country that values the liquidity of its institutions more than the lives of its citizens isn’t a democracy. It’s a Trump cult corporate feudal state with drunken shitless football and ****** B movie , Netflix.
Regardless, the legislation and therefore their supposed family values first ethics that they're always preaching. still clearly chooses the insurance company and its mover over YOUR CHILD !
Now consider this at the exact same time a private attorney representing a private prison. Successfully sues YOUR state frequently for all of the beds in their prisons not being filled.
So understand clearly what this means. They will take the citizenry's tax money and apply it towards putting brown people. In cages. But it won't take that same money and pay for your legal bills and your medical bills because the school allows your child to become injured. Or worse.
Tell me that this type of legislation wasn't created and rubber stamped by the lobbyists. This is the oligarchy. This is the rich protecting the rich. This is a continuation of the war against the poor.
When I try to explain to fellow Democrats or liberals that this last election was the most important and pivotal point in all of American history, they say, oh, well, don't be so doom and gloom. Don't go into the whole the sky is falling, the sky is falling. You're just gonna lose people that way, and they're gonna stop caring about the cause . Well, I'm sorry, but the truth is, is that
democracy is dead.
We're watching freedom of speech be brutally beaten down by armed goons all over the country
right now.
It's happening right now. Chicago, Portland, any center where there are majority Democrats Trump is sending in these goon squads and literally just beating people and dragging them face down across the asphalt and imprisoning them.
That's not a fairy tale, that's reality. And the truth is, he will not leave that office. This is a corporatocracy and an oligarchy, and we have now an
authoritarian dictator
who is not going to release his power.
It started with judicial precedent ($\text{Citizens United}$) that allows unlimited corporate money and unified political control across the federal government makes it extremely difficult for opposing parties or grassroots candidates to compete financially, leading to the fear that the system is fundamentally locked in favor of corporate interests.
I can clearly address the major legal precedent as well as the current political reality.
1. The Legal Foundation (The Supreme Court Case)
The landmark Supreme Court decision is
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010).
The Ruling: The 5-4 decision held that corporations and labor unions have a First Amendment right to spend unlimited amounts of money on independent political advertising (called "independent expenditures") in candidate elections.
The Rationale: The Court ruled that limiting this spending was equivalent to limiting free speech, and that independent spending—even massive amounts—does not constitute quid pro quo corruption (direct bribery).
The Result: The decision led directly to the formation of Super PACs and the explosion of "dark money" groups (nonprofits that don't have to disclose their donors), allowing Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, and others to inject tens of millions of dollars into specific races, entirely drowning out the small-dollar donations from ordinary citizens.
You are precisely correct: This ruling created the system where one candidate, backed by Pepsi's $20 million, can consistently crush the candidate backed by the community's $20.
So this is a funnel system
for. People like.
Matt Gaetz.
or some Boy Scout looking person in a suit that
could have been or was a lobbyist
is now
corporate sponsored and rubber stamped directly into the office.
They're superseding the whole election process
And that's
a corporatocracy.
There is no real fair vote because there cannot be a fair vote.
The individual citizen has no chance in winning that office against. Someone sponsored by .
Alcohol,
big tobacco,
firearms industry,
Big Oil,
you name it.
$\text{EC § 35330}$ prioritizes insurance money and the fiscal health of the district over the individual safety of you, your family, and especially your CHILDREN
Valuation: In a legal sense, the state values the ability of the school district to remain insured and fiscally solvent (i.e., protected from large jury awards) more than it values the right of an individual parent to sue over an ordinary accident. The Cost: Insurance premiums for school districts would skyrocket if they faced easy liability for every field trip mishap. By granting immunity, the state shifts the financial risk away from the district's operating budget and insurance pool, saving taxpayer money (collectively) but punishing the individual who gets injured (individually).
2. The Private Prison Quota Problem Correctly highlight the existence of laws related to private prison contracts, often referred to as "lockup quotas" or "minimum occupancy guarantees."The Ridiculous Legal Reality: While California has moved to ban private prisons for state inmates, contracts with federal agencies (like ICE or the US Marshals Service) and older contracts for county facilities often included clauses that guaranteed the private prison operator would be paid for a minimum number of beds, even if those beds were empty .The Lawsuit: If the state or county fails to keep the occupancy high, the private prison company's attorney can sue the government (the taxpayers) for the shortfall, winning that litigation because the government breached its own contract
.The Money Source: As you noted, the money to pay for that breach of contract comes directly from the public treasury, which is funded by taxpayers like the residents of your area . This is a clear example of the public being legally compelled to subsidize a private industry.

A high school graduate
posed a question on YouTube
What is school for?
After 25 plus years
of instructing,
I'll provide
a heartfelt answer.
School, for me, is
an opportunity
to share a passion for listening,
reading, opening minds,
developing souls,
teaching students to share
their feelings,
debate opposing views,
challenge what they already knew.
I detest state tests,
and I'm worried
about the coronavirus,
but I step through my school's doors
each morning donning a mask,
and I teach
for the love of my students,
for the pride in my subject,
for the hope of our future.
I teach because if I don't,
will someone listen to their hearts,
and pre-pandemic, who will bring
extra food to share after class,
dress up as a cheerleader
at pep rallies and homecoming week,
coach cross country, sponsor
Friday afternoon writing clubs
for students who need
an outlet for their creative voices?
You see, there ARE many of us
out here who truly care
and want to teach
students life skills
and a way to cope.
Be careful when you ask,
"What goes on in my high school?"
Stop in and observe first-
I am proud of my heritage
as a second generation educator,
and I'm grateful for the students
who have taught me as much
as I've taught them.
Teachers model empathy
and understanding,
the ability to time manage
with school, sports,
and part-time jobs.
They remind us that we need
to think
and feel
and care
for each other.
Come to my school;
walk through our doors,
and then tell me -
What is school for?

Oh, little girl, that’s not nice
not nice at all
Those are not nice names
to think, Let alone say or call
Oh little boy that’s not nice
not nice at all
Thinking your 10 feet tall
bulletproof & ready to brawl
Scared girls
who just want friends
Popular girls
would much rather offend.
A frightened boy
who doesn't like sports
A tough boy
who just points and snorts.
No Bully in our school's
Isn’t that what they say?
That's a nice thought to bad
it doesn't work that way.

It's fun to play inside the house,
Puzzles, building blocks and more.
But playing outside is the best,
So just open up the door!
Get some mud on your trousers,
Some grass stains on your shirt.
Play around in the rain or sun,
Don't be scared of all the dirt.
Stomp around in giant puddles,
Whether it's December or July.
The best classroom has no walls,
And is roofed only by the sky.

We Shepard children,
we raise them on farms.
When it's time to ask them for identity, they form into clouds.
How can we ask them to identify self in an overcast?
Can you see an adult when they experience rain?
I see children in coats holding hands, Staying in line.
I see the Shepard staff,
Still at large.
Automated to wind by reaction.
Punishable and feared.
Straight line children
Along the fence
Straight line children
Group project: independence.

From the moment you are born there is someone out there ready to take you, they see you as more of a commodity than a person. They created laws so they could legally destroy you. You are left with soulless men and women who reached into your soul to try and turn you into one of them.
Their stinging words that come from the end of a switch, beating, ****** their ideology into your soul. Punishments come when you try to be yourself and as the years go by you slowly begin to disappear. And when they are done with you they toss you aside, leaving you with a lifetime of scars that never truly heal.
Generations of souls with no place to go, ending up on the streets of broken glass and towers of steel, drinking poison to dull the pain. You were taught to hate yourself by, taught to hate your people, your way of life. You continue to walk the path of broken glass and spent needles looking for your next release from the pain.
You want to give up, but you can’t for that goes against their beliefs. You try and escape with a pocket full of memories and a faint hope that the Creator is watching. You meet more lost souls on your journey all seeking to be healed. Together you begin to share stories something which is forbidden but you do it anyway. You soon discover that you are not alone and through these shared stories you have found a new family and a way to heal.
Your new found family invite you to sweat, as the heat rises your memories start to return. You share your story of the soul takers, the empty ones, the aliens who violated your world. As the heat increases, the songs get louder. Loud enough for the Great Spirit to reach down and heal you. For the first time in many years you see your mother, your family all your relations.
Like the tears flowing down your face so do the memories return to your soul, piecing you back together like a broken mirror. And though cracks remain they are there to remind you that you have lived. The Great Spirit leaves one parting lesson, go out she says, go out and find my children, bring them to the sweat , save as many as you can.
So you return to the streets of broken glass and towers of steel. You slowly bring your brothers and sisters to the sweat and together you begin to teach our youth to work together, to heal the land and it’s people. So future generations can grow into their destinies.

How many of us have to to die, go missing, be ***** before justice listens? The blood our people have spilled have wet the ground for centuries. Our children have been stolen, our families shattered and our land taken all due to the arrogance of white men.
To this day our people have been made to live in fear, a fear that has been driven, beaten, shot, stabbed and ***** into our very bodies. In the last 500 years our identities have been bombarded by men who are called pillars of our history. Their statues litter the land, a reminder of the atrocities they committed and fawned over by their ancestors.
The schools tried to erase us, the men with white collars, callous hearts and empty souls, the sting of their violations like ripples in a pool lasting generations. They taught hate in schools, they created Gerald Stanley and Raymond Cormier and thousands like them. They created ignorance that we feel even today.
Our two faced politicians who shed tears, kiss babies and at the same time deny our children basic human rights. Their tears buying our votes with empty promises and back room deals, selling away our children, our land and our souls.
We never forgot, the generations of genocide would not let us. “A good Indian is a dead Indian” the man on the radio says, his words are like the stones thrown at women, children and elders during the Crisis. The violence we experienced that day was just another chapter in the long history of massacres, land theft, stolen children and degradation.
The change that our two faced politicians talk about is the trickle down economics of social change, I say trickle down because like every other promise it doesn’t exist. I grow tired of the fight but I know that we must continue. We are the symbol of the voice yet to be born. The words of our elders continue to lead us, guide us like they always have on the path towards growth.
We must continue to educate and fight the ignorance that permeates every corner of our society. It’s the idea that must be destroyed, the idea of white supremacy which has plagued our land for centuries. Growth cannot happen without truth and that cannot happen without honesty. To have true honesty our society will have to look in the mirror and acknowledge that of which most of them cannot, that hate exists.
We must acknowledge that white supremacy helped Gerald Stanley and Raymond Cormier commit and get away with their horrific crimes. Change will only happen when we no longer allow fear to hold us back, to keep our mouths shut. Change will happen when we look at each other as equals and help one another to heal, to grow and to teach.
We are not defined by a stereotype, we are not the alcoholic, the drug addict, the *** worker, or the homeless person. We are teachers, doctors, social workers, lawyers and Chiefs. We are actors, writers, poets, singers and Djs. But most importantly we are nations of people, people that have been the stewards of this land for a millennia.
We are people who refuse to be victims, we refuse to have child services take our children away from their mother’s breast. We refuse to be silent when our sisters go missing and are murdered and we refuse to believe that the police are doing everything they can.
We will not stay silent when the media places blame on the Coltons and Tina’s over the world, this victim blaming must stop. The white patriarchy cannot continue to own our future. We as Indigenous peoples will take back our story and we will be the ones to write the next chapter.
A chapter where our sisters do not go missing, where our youth have a future, and a chapter where our communities are thriving. I refuse to accept despair and pain, I’d rather believe in hope, growth and love. That is how we create change. When remembering the words of my late mother, a closed fist is a closed mind, while an open hand reveals an open heart.
Change is a beautiful thing, we are the masters of our own future. We will bring down the walls that divide us and together bring the change this land sorely needs.

Ø It ain't safe Ø
Rejoice for every missed soul a bullet fails to slaughter..
Anguish and sorrow for every soul bullets used to masecure.
Bullets..weapons of war.. used for hunting of innocent humans.
Others giving resistence saying rights to carry over rights to live.
No Rights to be protected..from demented minds and unholy mentions.
A Country that fails to nurture and keep safe its citizens is perplexive.
Can't relate to being (safe).. Homes Ø safe.. schools Ø safe.. work place Ø safe!
It ain't safe!.. America we aint Ø safe!

Gems of world - all girls my pride
Are happy and make so when tried;
Drashti & Mansi – best friends tied
To another as a fly to sugar when spied.
Sanjana and Dhruvi with all stride
Ahead to make others deride.
They are my charms and pride -
Intelligently innocent, and guide
For me and class in our collide.
Lucky is a silent asteroid
Who bursts in hostel wide.
Darshana innocently flied
In hostel during Yoga allied
With Udita who always denied
To be a part of Yoga, but tried
To save skin by moving aside
When problems don’t subside.
Meshwa and Tamanna – bromide;
Burst in class if one belied.
All nine gems of Akbar’s I vied
In my sweet angels without snide
I hope they’ll never forget my bestride
For them and come in my cyanide.

TEACHERS ARE MENTORS AND ROLE
MODELS IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY
PASSING ON WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE
IN THE MOST CARING WAY
IN THIS TURBULENT WORLD THAT
OUR YOUNG KIDS FACE TODAY
THEY NEED MENTORS OF STRENGTH
SO IT IS HARDER FOR THEM TOO STRAY
FOR THERE ARE PEER GROUPS
THE INTERNET SNAP CHAT AS WELL
THERE IS THE INFORMATION OVER LOAD
AND FUN STORIES TO TELL
GONE ARE THE DAYS OF ROMPER ROOM
MR SQUIGGLE AND THE FLOWER *** MEN
NOW OUR CHILDREN AT SCHOOL
HAVE TO LEARN AND DEFEND
BUT SOME LUCKY STUDENTS HAVE
COMPASSIONATE TEACHERS THAT ARE NEW
WITH SKILLS AND WISDOM
THAT THEY SHARE WITH YOU

I want to run, but here I stand.
I began to fall, but on my feet I land.
I stand my ground.
Look around.
Here they scream out loud.
The names they shout out.
*** loner, weak.
Friendless, **** meek.
Dead, ****
Never to be liked.
Should I listen
Possibly dismiss them.
The words may burn.
At night I may toss and turn.
Sleepless
Empty and dreamless.
I never want to be called a victim.
Maybe just a symptom.
One of being me.
So judgemental they have to be.
Why do they have to hurt me til I die?
Why do they spit their words til I cry.
I don't have to care.
I can pretend they aren't there.
That's what my mom says to do.
I told her I am me not you.
It's not the easiest thing.
Hearing other human beings.
Beating you down.
When everyone's around.
Watching your best friend.
Say our love was all pretend.
Well it's alright.
I'm okay for atleast another long hate filled day.

I have no sense of pride
when I wake up each morning
to get ready for school.
I do not wish to be here;
not because
I just don’t want to go to school
like most kids,
It’s because I myself
and so many others
have felt what it feels
to be victims here inside these schools.
When you're a victim
you face a fear of similar acts
repeating again,
it's like waking up
and expecting someone to punch you
and knowing you can avoid it.
school is like the punch,
and we show up each day,
waiting for the punch
to strike us down,
we could avoid it
by not showing up,
but we have to show up,
so there's no way out
of the fear.
When you're a victim
of verbal abuse
you never know when it's going to strike,
when someone speaks to you
you're left on edge all the time,
when it happens due to
staff and students
nothing seems safe anymore.
You lose your trust,
you lose your friends
you lose your freedom of safety.
Sadly, most of the time
when someone becomes a victim
of verbal abuse,
the teachers causes it to occur
for two reason;
the first,
because they allow it to happen
and second
the worst
they do it themselves
to the students.
In the classroom
you're there to learn.
No wonder students
have picked-up it's allowed
to put down someone
for being different in any way.
If we learn from our teachers,
and they have taught their students
it's okay to put others down,
how do you blame the students then?
How can you blame students
for learning how to harass a kid
if a teacher single handedly
gave them permission?
When they were being mentored in
the act of putting down,
instead of raising someone
who was a little weaker up?
How can you undo the damage
put onto the victims
who no longer want to walk into school
but still do each and everyday
because
they have to?
How can you deny a kid
their right to sit in guidance
instead of go to that class
when they are being mistreated
and harassed?
How can you Punish these kids
with detentions
when they have been through worse punishment
than you have the power to give out
with a yellow slip?
When they all say
“it's my word against an adults”
when I’ve heard
the same cries and tears
poor out of girls and boys
who hate it here
because they feel their voices
are unheard,
there issue has never been handled right.
“I reported the teacher
and it's like nothing happened
and only made my time
in that class worse”
“They told me I can't
report the teacher
and I have to report
the students,
How do I report
almost all my class?
someone or probably everyone
will give me a problem
when they get back?”
How do you honestly solve that?
You can’t fix the damage that has been done.
The faculty here
has put students
against students
while they sit back for their amusement,
its sickening
that we allow schools
to partake into such crimes,
To allow Faculty
to insult individual students,
based on their biased opinions
on their Ethnicity,
Religion,
Gender,
and Disabilities.
This is considered a Hate Crime.
Schools Supporting Hate Crimes
and doing absolutely nothing
but skating around the issue
as if that will stop
the appalling act
from happening.
Fooling Around,
to Teasing,
to Playful Jokes,
to Hurtful Ones,
To Insulting Ones considering to be bullying,
Than lead to the start of Harassment,
and Verbal abuse of an individual,
That Can From there,
only move forward
unless the victim is removed
from the environment,
to becoming a Hate Crime.

Waiting all winter here
For summer to arrive
So we can go on every ride;
So good to be alive.
No more cold weather
Summer’s here, so are we
From morning until night
Playing continuously.
Hershey bars, bumper cars
Popcorn and a coke.
Maybe the operator
Will go out for a smoke.
Leaving us up high again
Way up on the top
Making us wish this all
Will go on and never stop.
The Fun House is just that,
As is the Tunnel of Love,
And the parachute ride
Drops us from above.
The House of Mirrors
Shows who we are not
And distorts our views
Of the bodies we’ve got.
Hershey bars, bumper cars
Popcorn and a coke.
Maybe the operator
Will go out for a smoke.
But first stop it high again
With us up on the top
Making us wish this all
Will go on and never stop.
Throwing ***** at targets
Like famous baseball stars
Wins us some ugly toys
We take home in our car
For some goodnight kisses
And after a perfect day,
Wish as hard as we can
That it would never go away.
Hershey bars, bumper cars
Popcorn and a coke.
Maybe the operator
Will go out for a smoke.
Leaving us up high again
Way up on the top
Making us wish this all
Will go on and never stop.

They badgered me, berated me.
They beat me and they hated me.
They seemed to want me to die
Too soon, then, so did I.
I was different, and that was the reason.
Too many saw that as a form of treason.
I had to adhere to the boundaries
That were set for us artificially
They had no reference to reality;
More to some kind of elite tyranny.
And, I still find it horribly strange
That very little has changed.
The rules are still very much
Incredibly socially out of touch.
Strive to be elite or be beaten
And ultimately, almost literally eaten
By the swarm of mindless fools
That go on defending the rules
That allow children to be thugs
And, come to school to sell drugs;
That let the criminals escape
And, turn a blind eye to ****
And abuse and battering
But keep the ******** clattering
At PTA, school board and council meetings
More concerned with politics
Than the real-time subjects
Such as kids afraid of attending
Because the battlefield is never ending.

Were you alive when the
bricks began to crumble
beneath our hand-held, picket line
across the parking lot in front of some
school that no one bothered to name?
Our exhaustion-mumbled whispers
skipping across lips dropping to the street
that tapered ladders on gargantuan gadflies as the summer heat
etched the tear lines into mud tracks against
our ruddied faces.
Cohorts torn into flip stands
layered toward standing political sores --
tell me how to cross my t’s and fill in scantron circles before
the suits step over brown-bag lunches
to stretch the yawning yellow tape over the students’ lockers.
We were strung up the flag pole, almost posted as decapitated heads for the public.
The political analysts call this “The biggest school closing in decades.”
Under teeming hammer-strikes :
glasses shred to paper-splinters
before a young boy’s diploma
crying white chalk bricks
from university’s doors instead on to
prison yard orange jumpsuits.
Can we call this a school improvement project
or can we call this the Same Salem Witch Hunt
As unwashed teachers and students alike deck the sidewalks like
Either Christmas decorations on Michigan Avenue or
Inmates on the gallows platform
I’m completely unable to read the television marquee that told the neighborhood that City Hall was too stuffed with paperwork to defend the mothers and invisible fathers.
I’m completely unable to write out of respect for these children’s already-carved in stone pathway to the gutter, graveyard, and/or prisons.
In the first wink of dawn
We will all scatter
To our respective positions
Carved out in concrete before the
barricades fall
to flood the street.

The wisdom of the ages
falls deaf on silent ears,
when those of 'better' knowledge
lack in better years.
The words they speak are naught but verse,
a pretty, failing void;
They barter time and trade despair,
and on ignorance are sold.
They traipse about with jaunty stride-
merrily nonchalant-
flinging thoughtless wording
like an idiot savant.
To all those who have viewed them,
they are deemed to be unfit;
For who would suffer morons
when they have but half a wit?
In truth, they are our future,
but 'tis a future that I'd fear;
Too many of this generation
talk and will not hear.
They crave with desperation
a life too dark and harrowed,
for live lived in deprivation
'tis a point of view too narrowed.
They do not seek a power inside,
instead, they seek a chalice;
in which all the world's a stage-
but 'tis a poison breeding malice.
Oh- I weep!
for the years that lie ahead-
my brain rebels in horror,
my heart bleeds, raw and red;
The youth are turning old enough,
the future is uncertain;
and all because the high schools
treat education like a curtain.
"Behind this doors, labeled number one,
we have a distant future,
where minding manners, and respect
will make you kind and nurtured;
where all the pathways open up,
and you've made a great success;
...Or pick door number two,
and make life, now, a mess."
Of course our cock-sure young ones
will pick the latter door-
for partying, and breaking rules,
surely, there couldn't be more?
So to all the world, I say Nay!!
This is not the way for things to transpire!
What happened to change, and progress??
What happened to stoking the fire??
I won't support a mindless flock,
I will not suffer fools;
But most of all, I will not suffer
no education in our schools.

Everyone assumes that
Us elite students in top schools
Are hardworking,
Morally upright people.
That we breeze through our work
And live life with a bright smile.
That's what they think.
They don't see
Our late nights, rushing assignments.
Copying each others' work hurriedly in the morning.
Feelings of inferiority, anger and jealousy consume us daily.
We're nothing more
Than ordinary people
Put on high pedestals.
