"deportation" poems
I just want to ask one question Is the human race obeying the mathematical rule called BODMAS? Just a refresher...   Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction We have created different brackets where we enclose people like casket He's black, she's white, they are rich, those are poor, she's educated, he's religious, he's fat, she's slim... Brackets People are treated differently Based on the class that we've put them in Some are raised to power like exponents Others are trapped in like square roots...Orders The segregation has only intensified our division I don't fit in here, I belong over there My group is stronger, those ones are losers... Division Disunity and absence of love has caused A multiplication of our problems Threats, deportation, persecution We don't like them, we'll bomb them War, insurgency, terrorism, hate speech... Just problems Multiplication Every second, our population is experiencing several additions Our population keeps growing while Our natural resources are being exploited And depleting at a rate faster than our population growth Our resources are experiencing severe subtractions I just want to ask one more time... Aren't we obeying BODMAS?

BODMAS
Permission to speak, I am the ally of the silenced and unheard. I am the noise you can't shake. Two sharp points like the accents I carry on my tongue. I slither and squirm as I observe what they have done to you. It's a tragedy what they think of you and how arrogantly they use you for self proclaimed prophecies. No! I am not that! I yell loudly, but only the echo replies. Incarceration, deportation, degradation, gentrification some of the words that burn as I spit them out. False ideologies are accepted as realities ignoring the facts. I am not illegal and you don't have the right to label or decide. I am not a criminal, never was. Don't obstruct my academic path, I will jump each and every obstacle one by one. I was born free, you labeled and shackled me with lies and hatred but I broke loose. With my forked tongue I battle your double sided knife. I am not content with the destructive pattern that has emerged with your avarice. I will not **** for you and I will not die in vain. My snake like tongue has no mercy and will not cease until I see dignity and peace obtained.

Snake Tongue
Ever had the feeling of being trapped in a glass box with the air slowly running out, with every breath? In sun, rain, snow and storm, the box gets dark or warm but what you can do always remains the same. Have you just simply wanted to walk away or break free? To travel the world taming Lion cubs and petting great white sharks? To wake up to a sunrise in a Dutch farm and watch it set over the Mediterranean sea? To teach children in Thailand or India? To salsa on the streets of Mexico or be blinded by the lights in Dubai? Have you ever wanted to be border-less? To not be punished for being born in a country where the sun is hot and people are poor? Have you ever just wanted to work, get a place, pay taxes, and not ignore the growling of your stomach so your 5 pound takeaway stretches over 3 days postponing the date to buy the next food stock? Have you ever wanted to check your bank account without having your fingers crossed, because even though you know the exact balance you hope by some miracle it will be more? Have you prayed for immigration to back the hell off leaving you to make a living without risking deportation? Have you ever got tired of playing by the rules when the Albanian Mafia and Walmart makes more money per hour than what you'd make in a lifetime, or two? With heart aches and emotional games, and attending Sunday mass becoming more of a cliché, with rejection and doors closed, at the cost of owning a brown passport, with your head spinning and back against the wall, have you wondered what life wants from you at all? To all the women being trafficked for *** and the children slaving away spinning Persian carpets, tonight it's too cold to snow outside my glass box. Inside, it's too sad to cry...

a letter to president Obama
Many years past by to get to this new age Now there are so many new ways What is wrong with the old ways They call it evaluation There needs to be a revolution I am afraid of this new nation People of gratification The new age of ligation summation starvation So much talk of deportation And of emigration No legalization   This is The new age , The new way The new age of the politician The new way of their deception No reputation No consideration All about their affiliation The new age, The new way Of all corporation's All about their accumulation (of money) Their conglomeration Jobs of elimination Exportation The new age, The new way Still so much discrimination No equalization Young life's - unjust- evaporation with no justification The new age, The new way The world without conservation Global warming no talks of  stabilization Over populating The new age , The new way to our own Proliferation !!

(Happy 150th, Canada!) Canada Day -  Just One? With love from an ‘umble Yank But every day is Canada Day! The afternoon plane lands in Halifax When the hatch is popped, cool air rushes in Even the fog is happy in Canada The Muskogee never made landfall here And so we pilgrimage for her, complete Her voyage from ’42 to Canada Wolfville, Grand Pre’, Le Grande Derangement The Deportation Cross and beer cans Well, God forgive the Redcoats anyway Newfoundland Is a bold Anapest The church spires in a line, the light is green The bold young captain shoots the narrows wild Can you find your way to your painted house? To walk again the cobbles of Ferryland And smell the very blue of the Atlantic The sea-blown wind is cold in Canada Blue Puttees and a mourning Caribou Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord Good children sing “We love thee, Newfoundland” Quebec – royal city of New France May Le Bon Dieu bless the Plains of Abraham, And may God bless The signs an English driver cannot read The Coca-Cola streets of Niagara Falls Yanks laugh at made-in-China Mountie mugs And buy them, happy to be in Canada A cup of Toujours Frais from – well, that place But to us in your southern provinces Below Niagara, Tim too is Canada Though Canada goes on, these scribbles must not - Your grateful guest wishes only to say That every happy day is Canada Day!

Canada Day - Just One?
Americans ... Is it just Americans you're talking about here Trump? ... those chosen, those special people, those singular red-blooded people, because I'm a little confused here as you didn't seem to consider Syrian refugees as bleeding the same red blood even when it flowed so freely for them over there in their pitiless homeland, & Hispanic immigrants, they bled red too, or being rapists & murderers was it a tainted red? & black folks? was their blood red? from reading your White Supremacist re-tweets I figured darker skinned Americans had some innate handicaps or un-American tendencies & thus their blood was a might different to us white folks, & Muslims? do they bleed red too? or is it a special breed of red, an Islamic red? a special sort of red that favors deportation as says Brietbart news or that forbids them entry as per your unforgivable attempt at en-masse criminalization. There was no bleeding of the same red blood as you appealed to the lowest denominator in white folk bigotry during your successful rise to top of the heap in Republican vengefulness, bitterness & just plain Supremacist American red blooded horror was there? No, there wasn't.

"We all bleed the same red blood"
She had deep deportation eyes Raven's feather hair Skin as sweet as molasses And of the same color there Her name was never Lita At least no two times the same She wore the same old pair of sandals Learning fast how to play the game She would let you so close But never there within Her body was her refuge A faultless heart so full of sin She never took what was not belonging The world owed her a lot If she broke the piggy bank It was all that she had got In the blackness of the white room Full of pressed rats and warthogs She said it was their damnation A Titanic corting through the fog The winter came early that season She felt the heat of I.C.E. Her skates were best blade thin Not thick enough for her own device She had deep deportation eyes The last time I saw her around I don't see her at all now Thinking that makes me frown

Deportation Eyes
You have your demagogic president-elect, Dreaming in shades of Mussolini And will sit in his downtown skyscraper and laugh that all the populists Were not in on the joke, And thus could not be in on the punchline. The progressives hotboxed the shower the night we handed the country to Trump. Pennsylvania, the center of the cataclysm. The vortex has opened and engulfed all the steel, All of the illegal immigrants have been scooped up and swallowed, Reproductive rights will be voided in a stacked Supreme Court validating the opinions of white male legislators. Tensions twisting to contort and ignore the onset realization That all progress is halted to return the country to the era of segregation, Deportation Gestapo formed with the lone intent to displace the children of those who dared to dream of a brighter life. America, look what you've done and face yourself with your objections. Look dead in your eyes and see all the minorities, tears in the diaries of closeted teenagers, And the judicial dread of the gentleman who only wants to live comfortably with his husband. You've made stepping stones of the counterculture, all crying in dorm rooms or next to their gardens, All together in sorrow. Underground America has been sold out, We're a social experiment for what can happen when sulfuric acid is poured upon the voiceless. The silent majority has shut us up. We've been yelling to change history and now are tracking back. Bigotry is back in style and I'm terrified.

America is a High School campus.

America is a High School campus, a butter sweet taste-corn fed *** and a weekend soundtrack named  PC Pop cultures now into MADNESS = about running the streets into awareness of civil disobedience- CORRUPTS from the inside out through the preachers in the disguise of FREEDOM. America is a High School campus with long hallways nursing stations and dysfunctional movie pricing.  America is a High School campus with a deportation device fetish disorder.

Title to be determined by mass reaction to my minds disposition that contains mine fields
Jose Escobar, 31 Deported: 2 March, from Houston, Texas Jose Escobar, from El Salvador, has a son, Walter, & a wife Rose Marie Ascencio-Escobar, a U.S. citizen, now home alone in South Houston, Jose Escobar moved to the US legally from El Salvador with his mother when he was 15, and both qualified for protected status. His mother erred in filing renewal paperwork when he was still a teenager, his protected status lapsed. Mr Escobar spent years trying to sort out  his status and received a stay of deportation from a judge in 2012. But with Trump   the deportation process started up again & he was detained at his check-in with Ice & flown to San Salvador. His family is devastated. "I'm begging President Donald Trump to look into my case and see if my husband is really destroying America," his wife told reporters.

To impeach or not to impeach: that is the question To bar myself against his merciless beliefs Or to deal with a worse evil by the name of Pence His speeches of deportation and his turning of the laws With his tiny hands and orange face is deplorable, despicable! The destruction by the racist himself to LGBT+’s civil rights Has wrought havoc for the transgendered, has instilled fear into us To impeach or to keep Pence, a sidekick, a partner in crime to the man in question, a worse evil Hatred of us, boiling beneath his republican skin Conversion therapy becoming an option, scarring and scaring the youths Homophobia on the rise after the biggest triumph for us Laws passed in June of 2015 no longer holding meaning This man spreading his opinions to the new generations To keep Mr. Trump would save us from a meaner man But what would save us from the man who helped make America racist again? There’s misogyny, bigotry, and racism filling the office Violence, arrogance and white supremacy filling our country Supported by Russia, the KKK, and racist republicans Trump has taken this land into violence, fear, and hatred of one another He has made public shaming against those with disabilities appropriate And his voters have accepted this America as a great one People are beginning to revert back to their prior nativism views But to us Pence is a worse evil Threats, pain, and fear still running deep within our communities Shootings, violence, and property damage are just to name a few Running rampant in our communities, egged on by this Vice President Though Lord Voldemort may be terrible Behind him is a line of Red Racist Bigots to replace him Due to this, the Evil Man will have to be kept And impeaching cannot take place

Canada Day - Only Once a Year?
By: Cedric McClester He appeared on 60 Minutes But did they get it right When he said the demonstrators Had no reason to have fright When asked about his tweeting In the middle of the night He said he would more or less Be a presence on that sight He appeared on 60 Minutes With his hair in perfect place Answering their questions While trying to make a case For deporting immigrants By the millions he would chase To the deportation centers That had sufficient space He appeared on 60 Minutes And was asked Roe vs Wade Which he said was already law Women need not be afraid But he’d appoint Supreme Court Judges Who would throw some shade On that abortion law That then the states would have to save He appeard on 60 Minutes With his wife and family in tow To inform their TV viewers How far they all would go To support their patriarch Charged with running the show They would have no formal role Which the people had to know Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2016.  All rights reserved.

When hardened hearts ignore the plaintive tears Of those who are invisible yet present, They disregard the strugglers' hopes and fears And make a situation more unpleasant. Many suffer hazardous conditions And work that earns a pittance but still brings A lifestyle that won't **** their true ambitions. How dare we think that they all live like kings! Imagine living daily with the terror Or harsh presentiment--with stress and pain-- Of knowing that despite abuse or error, Your hands are tied, for you cannot complain. Your life becomes a sad catch-22. To keep on going is all that you can do. Imagine fleeing poverty and war And frightful acts of cruel persecution. Your life at least is better than before, But you await a permanent solution. Your kids are now American at heart, But jobs and college cause much consternation. You work two jobs; you try to do your part; Yet there's the constant threat of deportation. When people turn their heads and look away, A blaze of cruel injustice wildly rages. The ones affected most can have no say In how to fix what's NOT worked well for ages. Solutions lacking heart are cold and numbing And demonstrate how ugly we're becoming. - by Bob B (2-23-17)

Sonnets for the Invisible Ones
Don't spell the deportation. Mind seems split- with a maddening feel. Do you see what I see- the invisible lines on my hand, piercing your heart? Do you hear, what I hear- the Hum, which has made you go crazy? Dying to unspeak, you hide between the leaves.The borrowers come like Crab fish, ugly and demanding.River bed was drying up. Black sticks, things not required- get piling up.In wheelchair, you push a crying doll.

What You Won't Say
Power is indeed a corruptive force, Through all of mankind’s history This has always been true. Emperors, Kings, Potentates, Popes, Presidents and Despots too. Gathering near the Throne are the Eager Courtier leeches reaching to touch the anointed one’s robe. Declaring their undying loyalty, In the process selling their souls. Their rewards, a speck of personal power, Castles and more riches of gold. Like their Master, the entitled ones will lie and cheat, while ignoring The principals of right and good. Believing “Decency” is but a poor man’s word, never uttered within the hearing of their Ruler. Truth never a considered artifact of his desired absolute corrupt power. To the Ruler the slaves, serfs, the little common people matter not, but to serve him and his enablers. He and his power elite will start needless wars, or offer up sacrificial lambs, for deportation all to distract the unrest of the little people. They will suppress human rights, free speech and defame, banish or imprison their detractors, ignore our laws and our constitution, tread on our flag and urinate on our history. Their smiles and lies are all merely smoke and mirrors to conceal, their controlling agendas of limitless personal greed. Telling us it's all for our own good and will make our lives and nation great again. From ancient times down to today this egomaniacal cycle and agenda repeats. Kingdoms and Nations have perished From this kind of poisonous corruption. Needless to say, it will happen again. It seems that it already is. Unless this poem is too obtuse, We all must endeavor to change our history to come. Stand up and speak out, march in the streets, if we must, defiantly stand our ground! This is our nations new Ides of March. It seems we now have our own Julius Caesar, may he go the way of the other.

Uncertain loneliness pain dresses and appeared that day. No messages arrive early as every Saturday was. And after work that night, no one expects him. That unmistakable Hello! No longer will return to hear. He comes from away looking work and welfare and, in return found a strange feeling, that changed his life forever. It's  invisible the mark on the passport of an unknown country. The city is same but definitely different as when he arrived. It is impossible to name, perhaps. The wind is still blowing cold and the trees are without leaves-. That day -that city- watched him walk away without a word. Even the sweet kiss that woke up a different morning do not accompany him. The nights and days caressed unknowingly be forgotten and no one will undress him tenderly. And indeed, it is uncertain whether leaves or dies. In the distance, the voice of a judge revokes that forgiveness for deportation. Maybe someday meet again or maybe the oblivion take them by surprise. But in the city, no one knows whether dusk or dawn, but he never sees them again. And the lonely city, remain behind expecting that someday others dare to enter and stay forever.

A new Pope A new hope Farewell to Pope Francis Who did a wonderful job as a great clergy As we know, age believes in no dynasty We come and we go like a kiss New blood is needed from time to time And of course, that’s natural; that’s not a crime Novum papam habemus Novum spem habemus We have a new hope We have a new Pope A new Leader for the Catholic Church The search is over, no more search For a few decades, since no man or woman is eternal The recent Popes have been  friendly, humble and truthful We expect the Pontiff to be better than the previous one (No laughing matter) Who is sitting in Heaven Filing and signing his proper documents Where countless Angels are singing under the divine tents The world is right now deep in a messy situation: Lies, crimes, corruption, deportation and discrimination For crying out loud, this is to say the least However, the entire world wants peace, peace and peace We want all nightmares to end: injustice, wars and poverty Novum spem habemus Novum papam habemus We have a new hope We have a new pope May God bless the new Pontiff, Mother Nature and Humanity!

Novum Papam, Novum Spem
I hear a whisper calling my name... Am I any connection to that of my flesh? I feel a something brush me Am I just a result of a feverish mess? No, I see nothing but field and fireflies no one is here but me the bugs and the stars and I can't help but laugh while you **** your way to deportation I **** the world for freedom and drink the nectar from it's crevasses some are stuck curled in fetal positions til the mission is clear This isnt our perm- state We are the example of change the fire in the distance, the drum beat, the discourse and disarray the smile growing on a pouty face Grabbing life by its antlers I scream "Thank you universe, thank you for I am finally let lose from my cage!"

Deportation: It is something to be cautious about Deportation is like someone taking a body part away from you It can take away the people you love and care about We should share the connections we have like when you do connect the dots it can lead you to something bigger which is you We may be different but we are all humans People fear that they will never see their families ever again Immigrant who live in the USA see their families from your home country til they have permission to go to there countries and that could take years Some even seek revenge like they try to see each other like escaping, but others try to have faith hoping to see their families again Robert F. Kennedy once said, “...Neither race nor place of birth should affect their chances.” Take the concept of the wall and destroy it all Immigrant from other places may be different but we are the same and equal like an equation The USA is a part of the world and Mexico is a country and you add them it will a whole I should know My parents came from El Salvador to the USA and they had me and my sis, But my uncle got deported and she cries every day but he will come back soon I know this because we have faith Soon the rest of my family will come and never leave Every day I pray So that my parents won’t leave Because there I would have no one to stay with Deportation: Something that can break us down but we will get back up
