"camps" poems
dead bodies floating in our oceans from the Asian Pacific to the Mediterranean crumpled corpses lying on our beaches thousands drowned unknown overcrowded detention centers not unlike concentration camps behind barbed wires guarded by police and snarling dogs nobody feels responsible not  those who started wars destroyed whole cities made millions homeless and into refugees not those who take advantage of the chaos for their own gain abusing the names of their gods or some ancient figurehead to excuse their atrocities and greed not those who live in comfortable homes and wish the desperate crowds would just stay on the TV screen and not come close nor those who pretend to be the guardians of our great humanitarian heritage but show no backbone against nationalist fanatics it is the shame of the world to sit and talk and watch and not do enough those who turn away the needy and homeless could also quite suddenly lose their homes forced to rely on the kindness of strangers

THE SHAME OF THE WORLD (NOTHING has really changed since I wrote this poem on Sept. 6, 2015!!)
I remember the rains that day, A shower of hate that won’t go away, The day seven of the year ninety four, When pain suddenly opened the door, And nothing was ever going to be the same anymore, With machetes and guns they marched, Aiming for our limbs to detach, Sworn they did that no INYENZI would escape their grasp, They swore that all would experience their wrath, Genocide it was called but the truth not told, The rains struck hard smell of rotting flesh, Cries from a distance heard but ignored, No one would even dare talk or whisper, **** the cockroaches was the message from the speaker, It was the rainy season the beginning of a massacre, Women and children are alienated from their land, Refugees in camps away from their land, The African holocaust had began in Rwanda, It took a while for the world to ponder, The ones who had the power to stop it kept quiet, They gave neither reason nor excuse for their silence, They waited until we all lost our patience, It was the rains in Rwanda the day of mourning, It was the season to prepare for farming, But I can bet the world saw it coming, But none gave a **** from the beginning, And so began the killing, Brothers and sisters turned enemy, Neighbors turned into strangers, **** ****** mutilation humiliation torture, Tribal hatred fueled by the west, When will Africa come to rest? And understand that we are one race, One love one place one earth, Let’s have love and peace, BY ISSAI

On the sewage puddles of Sabra and Shatila there you transferred masses of human beings worthy of respect from the world of the living to the world of the dead. Night after night. First they shot then they hung and finally slaughtered with knives. Terrified women rushed up from over the dust hills: "There they slaughter us in Shatila." A narrow tail of the new moon hung above the camps. Our soldiers illuminated the place with flares like daylight. "Back to the camps, March!" the soldier commanded the screaming women of Sabra and Shatila. He had orders to follow, And the children were already laid in the puddles of waste, their mouths open, at rest. No one will harm them. A baby can't be killed twice. And the tail of the moon filled out until it turned into a loaf of whole gold. Our dear sweet soldiers, asked nothing for themselves— how strong was their hunger to return home in peace. Translated from the original Hebrew by Karen Alkalay-Gut.

Divided Loyalties
*Like the sunlight forcing its way through a cloudy screen, and the thunder breaking all silence and serene, a lotus glowing with its aura in a black swamp, horses that run free on escaping from men's camps, a butterfly struggling to break its cocoon, a lion hunting in the feeble light of the moon, a wounded tigress defending her cubs and enduring all pain, the birds slowly reaching their nests in the treacherous rain, nature shows us the path to follow, how to deal with life when it seems hollow, make a stand for what you believe in, stand up for it, never to cave in, struggle is the beauty of life, seeing someone break the limits of mind and body is a lovely sight, when you can expand boundlessly do you feel free, when you can write a poem without a topic do you feel free...*

What freedom means to me
You made me soft; A Marshmallow drop that melted sweetness, and tasted like nostalgia on your tongue In that place where camps fires smoked and we smouldered, Orange with a glow that crackled envy, I saw forever in those flames. Just a little tiny taste of eternity Reaching for me, as I reached for you. I curled and crisped, Dribbled into that abyss and bubbled up in the heat.

Marshmallow Drop
It wasnt long before the baluster flapped somewhere in the distance and Icarus knew how old he had been on the day of his birth. For whatever reason, the snow capped cappuccinos he had willfully destroyed in a heated debate on fiscal policy had him beginning again. Why was there always a beginning where there was an end? Fur traders used to circumnavigate the Hudson's Bay of his humanity when he was young, sharing drinks and fire water whiskey like it was all an H2O ready for the soul search. Sadly, many ended up in Hitlers concentration camps weeks after the **** invasion of Poland, about a month or so before the fall of the Roman Empire. Beginning with a last breath, Icarus strode off the plank with a new-found confidence unnatural in his niceties of long past. It was as if 1 minute and 35 seconds was enough to dish a clamouring populace onto the dinner table before the fat step-father gleefully orders everyone to 'dig in, everyone!' Cancelling everyone's appointment with Dr. Pardon meant the gaining of a key participatory certificate in El Dorado, and the gold lingering in dusty sun-beams was sifted for the taking. Some got rich, the rest got miserable. The rest used to imagine the gold, staring at ivory towers and lottery tickets, apple cores lording over old public servant applications near the city hall drain pipes as the modern world collapsed into a flash-mob image of Ronald Reagan. Icarus was a sliver of duskish light flittering a top distant windowsills, all cupped in an intentional light because happiness was as possible as sadness. Not that considering either would make you either. Icarus slept as his wings incinerated at the first glimpse of the solar system. He now believed every single proverb the old ***** slumbers had whispered their children as they woke to find themselves adults. In the beginning he found the beginning beginning again. It made him feel however you wish. Both were just as possible. Both were just as much a jazz configuration as a smooth and easy guitar rift. Ahha!

Howls in the night cross the threshold of savagery Coordinated hate of a hundred jackboots stomping faces in the streets Storefronts smashed Crushed glass crunching under the feet of unbridled violence Doors bashed in Swinging sledges smash Women and children dragged kicking and screaming from their homes Beaten unconscious then beaten while unconscious Clothes rended flesh roughly groped ******* mashed by laughing barbarians with teeth made of knives Innocence of a generation ***** in a single evening Ransacking hands strangle the wealth of a culture One thousand synagogues in flames light cast magnified in the carpet of crystals sparkle of hellish brilliance Ninety one lives snuffed they were the lucky ones Avoided the camps where greater horrors were wrought in the forges of torment from the pounding of flesh beneath hatred like hammers

A Poem in 3 Parts by Sara L Russell, 4/6/15; 00:51am I There is a grey area between this world and the next. People can be foolish; they dabble in ouija, in dowsing, in automatic writing; and - wittingly or unwittingly, they may open a portal to the other side. That is how they enter. Beware of inviting them in. Shadow people are there where needle pierces skin; where the ****** sits, glassy-eyed, on the precipice of oblivion; they lurk in unholy places where godless politicians declare themselves to be speaking for God; they haunt the dreams of drunkards, schizophrenics, junkies and the paranoid. But they are not spun out of dreams, they are real. Shadow people were there when the ancient pharaohs of Egypt were interred, with all their gold; they took them to Hades for also burying their wives and servants, alive. They were there in **** concentration camps, sitting on the left shoulders of those who blindly carried out orders of death and torture. They subsist in underworlds of catacombs, they lurk in the spaces between our conscious and unconscious minds; In blackened mirrors they seek out a vortex, My friends, be the light that keeps out the darkness, Do not seek to question the dear and foregone, No matter how much they are missed; for there are others lurking in the shadows. Be not the portal inviting them in. II Did I see you in Bohemian Grove, smiling at the Cremation of the Care? Were you there, and did you have more than one shadow? Did I see you in that Great Hall with chequered floors, where the Eye of Horus watched over a pyramid of gold? Did you lift a cup of the good red wine, did blood brothers drink each other's health, gazing through a glass darkly? Did we toast the Cremation of the Care, and how many others were there? III Sometimes we visit Hell in our dreams, though we may fervently pray before sleep. There is no shame in sleeping with the light on. Wear a cross, if you think that it will help. Sometimes the citizens of Hell visit us, in that stasis between sleep and wakefulnes; they are only ever seen at the outer periphery of our vision. It's never a good idea to look at them directly. Sometimes they venture a little closer than the rules allow. Sometimes the line between their domain and ours is blurred. Occasionally, the breeze seems to whisper your name - only, it's not the breeze. Be vigilant. Always try to see them first.

The Silence Of Ugly
My eyes a pure olive-green color Aren't reflecting love or pleasure Between this black pupil and iris World of strength and mysteries And you'll see that my eyes won't blink From your camera flash and the sound of click Because my strong features reflect my firmness And the pain of the camps and its soreness But deeply you can see a shocked young girl Who ran away from a fierce war to another terrible region So do not ask , show me your smile My silent lips reflect the world silence My eyes fascinate you? , yeah I know Everyone bewitched, but no one ask how do you do? However, the force which glitter in my eyes You will not see it anywhere else I do not know if my picture would be deployed Or you would keep it after this year All I know is the point of my life has changed since 1984 Toka Kentar © all rights received

so sorry
the ghosts around your moist lips clipping the sweet drench of our limp wish.... the spectral harlots of our far lit lamps and the damp parlors of our damaged camps pitched. the pit of our peaches, fussing the cuff of our sap. the honey bonds - of our wayward damp runes...   that we caste  to undo any telling of our demise, to save our precious myth. to keep our ruse amused... my darling... goodnight... though nothing is good and we have only the night.... goodnight. i will trouble you no more but labor to keep your sweet grief mine. to contend with your unending medallions of perfect regret, to pass your palm with silver drek, the likes of which your liking, may learn to kiss with two lips at dead stop. if this is the end tremble and be trembling. our disassembling locks our open door and nothing more than vanishing remains, where our appearance mocks the same. goodnight... though nothing is good, and the light is a darkness, a trump of knives and a far thing, up too close to save a prayer for the plight of fools and just too far to pry our hands from live grenades... to live for. but to die yes.

Okay, the only one has been hiding their racism were whites. Trying to blend into society with others because employers require a get along attitude. Go to a bank and instantly you know the hiring schemes. And this any community. Same, with certain restaurants you attend. It's the blend that point the management comfortability out. White flight, existed because the "fearful" can't adjust to a changing society. History has shown this. And they have created it. Jim Crow's laws weren't created by blacks. Asians placed in America concentration camps wasn't their idea. And these were American citizens. History presently has shown that the new "pick on" group is the Latin communities. They MS13 or this or that. Many white businesses must be enjoying their employment keeping them in business. For in many big cities they building the complexes and hotels, and sidewalks. History has shown when it comes to justice they the first to try to scheme out of their crimes. But quick to holler about locking up criminals until it's them. History has shown when investigating wickedness in government. They lead the pack. Then this is just an opinion. And no way connected to alternative facts.

"Here Made of Gone" for  Isabella Stewart Gardner Lyrics By Randy Vera Music By: Randy Vera and Anthony J. Resta   http://bopnique.com/anthony-j-resta-and-randall-vera-finalists-john-lennon LYRICS : Vermeer, Rembrandt, Manet, Degas, from my three thousand year old Chinese KU, I toast you.  Mrs. Jack, I am your Bronze Eagle. I cut the painting at the frame – thieves by any other name. Mrs. Jack with handcuffs and ***** I overcame your walls. Your collection’s complete. Titian's Europa still hangs. The mirror to my: Piece de la resistance. I’m your creme de la creme. I’m the John with the Procures on the wall in Vermeer’s concert. Here, made of gone.  Mrs Jack, I’m your new William James. Through your kindness, you support me, in Dutch Room empty frames. Like John Singer Sargent, I toil between your walls. I am Vermeer’s "corn flower blue," indescribable.  The metaphysical: Known unknown! St Patrick’s Day 1990, I’m in Boston in the Fenway. For my penance, I’ll go to Saint John’s, drop to my knees, and like you, scrub the tiles clean. Titian's Europa still hangs, the mirror to my: piece de La resistance. I’m your creme de la creme. I’m the John with the Procures on the wall in Vermeer’s concert. Here made of gone.  Where language fails that where art triumphs. The interloper between camps of reason and dreams. I’m an event not cognition. Like any event stored in canvas, paper, pen ,or ink. Oh Mrs Jack I so love your "Head Band." I’m also a Redsox fan. I loved the Champagne and donuts, and thank you for the paintings.

My family eats dinner underwater. We bounce between the seats of our chairs and the bottom of the table, we pass the stuffing as it floats off the plate, and no one seems to blink. My parents just talk about how safe it is, here, below the surface. No gay fiances or athiests or postmodernists or liberal Christians. I am the only one with an oxygen tank. “I have never owned a tent that kept the rain out.” My family camps with gear from the 80s. We cook in bare aluminum and eat with volatile plastics, a crusty dining cloth pinned to the warped picnic bench. My feet and head push through the tent wall and into the rain fly. I always wake up wet. “I have never owned a bed that was long enough.” In house 1 and 2, my feet hang off the end of the bed, circulation halted at the ankles by the wooden frame. In dorm 1 and 2, I lie diagonally on the bed, my shoulder hitting the wall. In dorm 3, My feet are pressed flat against the wardrobe. I fall asleep not knowing who I wake up for. “I have never loved anyone I didn't have to.”

BISHOP CORNELIUS KORIR OF ELDORET IS A HYPOCRITE

Atletico’s progress to this stage has been somewhat sloppy to say the least, following a second leg showing at the Vicente Calderon which allowed minnows CE L’Hospitalet to walk away with an historic 2-2 draw. <a href="http://eventsonnet.in/real-madrid-vs-atletico-madrid-live-streaming-telecast-live-score-lineups-time-date-venue/">Click here to watch now!t</a> Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Live..

Ghost Relics Downtown, where Main intersects Main you'll see the last living tissue of a breathing bazaar. They weighed down her chest with bricks and girders. It's a wonder she breathes at all. - Wander too far in any direction and you're sure to see the husks of once proud and bustling businesses. Abandoned sanctums of mortar and majesty. Scars of the Midwest etched as constants in our mind. Dusty and silent since the cradle. - The theaters are bedeviled with dolled up haunts who just wandered over from Greenwood to catch the matinee. Management still leaves the lights on for kicks after hours to throw off their sleep schedules while they wait for the feature to start. Up all night, sleep all day; they read by neon and slumber under Sol. Here I am, left lounging in The Devil's Chair. Crickets keep quavering. - Underneath the Franklin Street overpass sleeps a family bound by naught. They watch in dawn's light as the few pedestrian that traverse Cerro Gordo advert their eyes as some sort of silent symbol of respect for their situation. It's as if the very stare of a privileged man could drain 'til depleted. They never ask for anything, they just wade it out and listen to the cars overhead, the train-clock's trumpet, and the heartbeats in between. - Leaks are patched, potholes filled, and yet we're still loosing blood; becoming beguiled. So many stray cats in the civilian savanna, aimlessly seeking names and second chances. "This premises is under police video surveillance" - hanging like ornaments from streetlamp poles. - Guarding the gates of a dwindling dominion, as the armies of Union and Grand wait in their camps for the rust to take hold of her iron veins.
