☮ ☮ ☮ **Society needs more Social Justice. Humanity needs peaceworkers.** Peace and Social Justice must be promoted aggressively. There are inequities that must be addressed. Power is not equally distributed. Neither are resources or wealth. Neither are poetic gifts or vision equitably distributed. Unearned privilege is rampant. Poetry must confront this global crisis of capitalist exploitation and manipulation. Poetry must speak to the masses. Poetry must radicalize and inform consciousness to new levels of social change. Marginalized citizens must be empowered. All ****** gender-based, racial, religious, age-based, homophobic, xenophobic, and gynophobic bigots must be brought to see in a new way through our poetry. Community building and local empowerment are of the order. Our poetry must be global in scope – yet rooted and grounded in local community empowerment. Selfless acts of service to promote and increase Social Justice are needed. Lives selflessly devoted to establishing social justice are called for. Our poetic lives must be laid on the altar of the dis-enfranchised and unrepresented. We, as consciously aware poets, must advocate and speak out for those who have no voice. We, as poets, must, through stirring words of Social Justice, embody through our radical verses the burning hope of a just and sustainable future. This future must become increasingly collective as formerly marginalized consumers become empowered community-builders  –  through our poetry. As poets of the sustainable future we will empower and inform. Our poetry must collectivize, entitle and enslave. We must speak with ONE VOICE: the voice of change and social justice. Our words will rise with healing in their wings and lift whole communities from despair to radicalized self-awareness in communities filled with strident, intolerant and maniacal practitioners of PEACE & SOCIAL JUSTICE. All poets who do not lay their entire creative and lyrical selves on the altar of struggle to bring CHANGE and SOCIAL JUSTICE will be LIQUIDATED by our own EMPOWERED POETRY.

A hymn to paired planethood: Venus hits Pluto as death, in cold orbit, collides with biology smashing to fragments: demonic astrology (more a black hole than a love-star, it’s true though). Cynical cure for Eve’s womanly grievance Concupiscent consequence: lust’s bitter fruit – ah the thought… changing Sin into mere inconvenience. Margaret sang her seductive refrain about weeding the garden and progress and light. Her sisters should view her with scornful disdain but instead have adopted her murderous rite. With sang-froid she promoted her racist eugenics (as if she had never herself been a fetus), condemning her heirs to postmodern polemics while nurturing ardent desires to defeat us. Suppressing the lives that she flushed down the drain she would liberate Death – and resistance was vain. As a midwife to modern life (though on the “anti” side) Old Matron Margie racked up quite a legacy singing the praises of sanctioned infanticide calling the shots for the coming sick century. Planning, quite calmly, to “cleanse” certain races her zeal was empowered by murderous graces. She labored to bring us such pearls of subduction: “dilation and curettage”, “women’s autonomy” “viable fetus”, “procedure”, a “suction” Hippocrates retches to hear the taxonomy; words that turn Life into mere reproduction. She enters the realms of the ****** and the motherless roundly condemned by her feminine otherness. Man’s first protection: the God-given womb which no infant should have to regard as their tomb. Dismembered dark cherubs, assembling, greet her as demons (in scrubs) holding baby-parts meet her. Long may she burn with the medical cynics this mother of Moloch, this founder of clinics. Convenience is king when abortion’s the Queen and the profits swell big with each nubile teen… yet the fruit of such carnage remains to be seen. I send her this song as a funeral wreath and a card inked in blood. You may read what is there: “To the Matrix Supreme of our culture of death from the souls of the infants you slew on the earth. May your torment increase with the children you bear.”

Margaret Sanger’s Entry Into Hell

The kite gets  high, stays aloft- quite some time displaying enviable dexterity, for fun do spectacular  somersaults as much times as it could, climbs up in air with a loud swoosh then look! how the wind gets ***** with her, if she has something of  a skirt, it goes up, up to an indecent height, she doesn't have that balance a player at such heights should have kept always. Its absurd, all these acrobatics silly kite displays before the world at high altitudes with a unholy interest to show herself more accomplished than what she really is, could you pardon that frivolity, because she has many more colors than clouds. He admits abashedly that he too was once in love with her frivolous attractiveness, but he never could understand a kite; in spite of the lightness, that makes it easier to travel heights, has kite a significance? After all what is a kite? her merit? a strange arrangement that defies common sense, all it can do is aimless flying. Isn't it a charge serious enough? even a dry leaf, or a falling feather can do these acrobatics for a while. What is the meaning of a kite, kindly someone notify , if it has any, meaningless flying is not for anything of substance, what kind of play is it,   if it is perceived as one, by any one why the folly of someone take us for a ride all these years, without a second thought, he wonders who might have promoted it,  had some ulterior motive, some point to prove; wind, mightiest of forces is made to look weak in everyday life .

Any kite display a greed to go up and stay there, till the time it is possible to float don't want to be back, when wind is on her side unless force is applied, what does it signify? Kite has a hunger to touch wonder with its fingers he knows, and he can't but appreciate it and when the occasion arises she fly up to the cloud, play with him as if he is her secret lover, that hurts could such a liaisons are to be  be tolerated she knows how a cloud tastes at different times Yes, sky certainly intoxicates her, she want to move closer, doesn't it spell danger?

He was never my classmate, Neither was he my schoolmate, As we have met on OkCupid, Which is where we got suited. He soon became my tablemate, Then got promoted to bedmate, Ranging from late-night nosh To some naughty oh-my-gosh. He was my almost-roommate, Now, a hopeful housemate, Since he would visit me daily And keep me company gaily. He was frequently my seatmate, As well as invaluable playmate, For we traveled places together And cloyingly wrestled each other. He has always been my helpmate, And is presently my best teammate, As he has cheered me up from afar, As we chat as if there is no au revoir. He will one day become my inmate, Plus my hard-working workmate, Since we will both have mini-me’s Forcing us to slog away on our knees. He is undoubtedly my soulmate, One who is to become my lifemate, For he is a romantic yet **** geek, A keeper with charms all too unique.

He Is My “Mate”
Can we call it freedom if it divides? Is it correct to ridicule revered name? Was that in defence of freedom? Or was that for easy money and fame? They went on with their provocations; And justified it with arguments lame. Numerous hearts were agonised. But few turned wild, difficult to tame. Extreme provocations and insults. In the name of ' Freedom of speech' Extreme response and harshest reply. To avenge the insult and to teach. When one's ' Freedom of Expression '; Gives one the ' Freedom to insult '. Hatred and dissension are promoted; And can lead to horrifying result.

We all serve someone in our capacity of life. We just must be willing. We all gather some type of benefits in life. We jut must be willing to admit it. I work for God Incorporated. In other words. I'm employee of God. And this his service. I have been insured in mutiple ways. Don't have to admit how? Don't even have to say. In spreading his product. Whether it's the word. Or his love. I have promoted his goal. As God's employee. He accepts request. And He supplies many needs. And I personally can testify. He don't get offended being called a charity. Altho' He does get heated at things he see. Still, I rather stay employed in his company. No strikes is allowed. Too many rewards connected to his foundation. He's always hiring. While also advising and training others in life. A good employer gets good remarks. After all. Why criticize the creator of us all?

God's Employee
We are told that Nothing trumps Trump's Misogyny but truth will out When his sexist shtick is a Gift that keeps giving for His Republican rivals, Whose Lips are sealed, but by Their deeds their hands are unclean. We know that Bush did not beat about the bush When he said of women on welfare that “They should Be able to get their life Together and find a husband" We know that Walker repealed Wisconsin's only Equal pay law and supported anti-choice Invasive intrusion of a woman's right To choose. We know that Mike H Has mused that he thinks women Who cannot control their “Libido" Should not “curse” and Jay Z is really A **** seems to be exploiting Beyoncé. We know that Rubio opposed re-authorizing the Violence against Women Act, even though he knew What it meant when he opposed the Paycheck Fairness Act. We know Rand P was rightly Republican in similarly Voting against the Paycheck Act, and in his college secret Society promoted Anita B's views that oral *** was a sin. Perhaps they all need to look in the mirror and adhere to The Biblical adage that "He who is without sin should Cast the first stone" But what is sin anyway?

Sexist Shtick
My nights consist of falling apart On a daily basis That’s according to my thesis On my own self evaluations Keep getting caught in bad situations This is an invitation To not feel okay Sometimes you just need to cry Let it all out In a form of sentences Trying to express your emotion What’s holding you down promoted To this cause I am devoted Left vulnerable and open

Bleeding & Broken
A caveman discovering fire, he can now stay warm in the cold and see light in the dark, It feeds him and protects him, and he does likewise. Electricity suddenly figured out, the harnessing of lightening used to capture the suns impressive illumination, Dark corners seen where shadows once resided. Neil Armstrong's foot touching the surface of the moon, as stars swirl around him, and the Earth looks innocent, safe, and beautiful. The first successful flight of an airplane, finally feeling free like the birds, and touching the once elusive clouds. A heart surgeon looking at a sensitive beating ***** knowing that rhythmic pulsing is necessary to sustain the body, and caution must be taken not to hurt it. Like a free-falling with a parachute. Like a delicious appetizer, entree, and dessert all at once. Like puppy kisses, or kitten purrs. Like looking down from the top of a mountain. Like every single sunrise and sunset you've ever seen, combined. Like tearing up when you see people reunite. Like meeting up with an old friend. Like laughing until your stomach hurts. Like that refreshingly calm breath after crying real hard. Like holding a *** for too long but then finding a bathroom. Like your first cup of coffee in the morning. Like snow, a fireplace, hot cocoa, and a blanket. Like a flower blooming. Like the sound of the ocean. Like a cool breeze on a sweltering day. Like a good, long embrace. Like a shot of hard liquor that warms your insides. Like getting promoted. Like finishing a creative endeavor. Like your favorite sports team winning. Like a baby smiling at you. Like finding a good book or a good series. Like fixing something properly all by yourself. Like finding blue or purple sea glass. Like mail with your name on it that isn't bills. It's probably not like any of these things, *it's probably a whole lot ******* better.*

His kalenjin tribesmen planned for tribal wars to cleanse kikuyus and luhyias From the their lands, planned out of tribal sadism, He was fully aware, as he understood the kalenjin coded language of war And preparation for war, war of the years 2007 and 2008, He did not give any holy bishopric **** to save his non indigenous folks The people to be killed and tribally cleansed were the members Of his catholic church in the dioceses of Eldoret, The ones to **** were his kalenjin tribesmen, But bishop korir could not counsel nor forewarn, He did not give out any peace focused advice That a catholic should not **** a catholic Because of politics or worldliness, Instead he gave respect to his tribal sentimentality He behaved as a kalenjin first then a catholic later, A spiritual paradox of the century, Only equated in the Biafra tribal sentimentality between igbos and yorubas Redolent of European ****** or the American ku Klux **** But after all the non kalenjin Catholics from his dioceses Had been killed, burned up in the church, ***** up Homoerotically perhaps in the madness of tribal scorn, That they now became refugees in their own country; Kenya And then solemnly condemned to the refugee camps, Is when Bishop korir Cornelius came out of his tribal kernel With vices of a kipskiss sadist , holy rosary in his hand, Singing an out dated poem of Hail Mary the ****** Mother of Jesus Christ to them, the IDPS, He then promoted a priest from his tribe, The one kimengich up the hegemonic altar to become The bishop of Lodwar from where they loot The illiterate turkana catholic peasants their relief foods, And even jobs, and clothes, only to give to those who are not needy, To the kalenjin who are not even catholic nor marginalized, some even Moslem, All these happens in the sweetness of tribal syndrome, A social disease which the holy sacrament of the catholic faith Have not and never will heal Bishop Cornelius korir.

Don't be enticed by the attraction of a crowd. It's more important to walk alone, than to show-off, be rude and loud. Don't allow your peers, to constantly pressure you, because they say you're not their friend. Watch the amount of trouble they cause, especially, in the end. Life is given, to gain much knowledge, in this very large world. Not to mess around, and be funny, impressing every boy and girl. Don't get left behind, watching your so called "Friends" get promoted. They will be the ones to laugh at you, while you are being demoted.

I'm ******* done, With this world that I shouldn't be in. Once found this maze so amazing When I was small, But not anymore. Growing up singing church songs Of what I was not. How did I belong to what promoted What I could never be? There you go: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Because families were made to be perfect! So plan all your babies, But society will still **** them all up in cages. Not much waiting involved It won't take very long. I am not what the mormon church says. I was a mistake. I don't live with two parents. I see but don't live with one. So I'm blaming my mother, Because in theses times that I cry Is when I realise That it's all her fault. I couldn't help but be created, So for those who hate me for being born I'm sorry but sorry won't make it right. To those who being a demon makes you high I guess I'll have to just stand and watch. Yes I've grown taller And height has made me see, How much that I was not meant to be. I have friends But one day everyone Will get torn away. Then there will just be nothing. Nothing of me Or for me, at least. And it's almost like I only have Maladaptive daydreams to be happy about, But I can't because they're depressing as hell. The fact that I exist to be able to have them is déprimant Yet I am not depressed But maybe I should be, Because God knows I shouldn't be here And dear God I'm sorry I am Because I messed up your perfect plan. And well if my birth really was hectic Then why couldn't I have died then? Because my stupid, pathetic and unwanted life Wouldn't have lasted this long. What's a mistake is unwanted What's unplanned is unwanted What I am is unwanted What I will be to those around me One day will be An unwanted memory.

Mixed the fresh salad, some noodles and shrimps Nervously rolled it one by one, though... All eyes are on her.. All ears are on her She and her famous Rice paper ...the subject of attention.. ... the rolls she promoted.. A traditional cuisine, a local pride She dipped the rolls in some kind of fish sauce Shyly she offered the delicacies to us.. We .. the so called “International people” were amused this tantalizing Vietnamese cuisine.. Specially made in Vietnam.. only in Vietnam..

Rice Paper - Only in Vietnam
He who doubts me shall one day admire. He he scorns me shall later revere. He who accompanies will rise with my fire while he who rejects dies grimly in fear. He who will listen to here what I know Is invited to stand-up and argue, if sharper. He who accepts may play on my team, Though, he who respects gets promoted to partner. He who helps others when all else has failed has secured my blessing in fighting the demon. So, friend, face the storm and boldly set sail. I share with you poise, self confident ****** Believe in yourself. Don't ever lose hope. A dope of a man gives up on a whim. But if I should fall, and call for a rope... I thank you your throw. Together we'll win. Save tomorrow for memories and smiles with no pain, as today we face all of yesteryear's hurt. Though, if I should slip and call out your name. I thank you for being there, true man of his word.

Faith, My Only Friend
I open the blinds and see the world - in return, what does the world see? It sees me, and all my splendid, split personalities, living these amazing times, of amazing pleasures, in which we tweet tweets, and post posts re ego-trips and copyrighted links, videos and things; and, as stray dogs, we ramble randomly, and all the time,   living in our infinite worlds, of infinite lanes, till infinity; yet we suffer so much pain. Our Shih Tzus take us on extended walks, firmly leashed to our Koss plugs, as we drone cool tunes on multihued iPods, iPhones buzzing ringtones of tittering babies, stolid kings and hyperactive frogs, which would all make my eighty-six year old dad want to gag; we fly ultralight megaplanes at the sonic sound of speed, through virtual and real space, connecting dots at low- cost prices, while we belt-up, gear-up, gulp Gaga and gorge heat-inducted meals of deer, horse and over- promoted crap; and then, wow surprisingly, we are all so unsatisfied. We consciously all move-in together, and **** on end, like statistical sheep, pre-married, unloving, and broken up, and justify it all, to ourselves, with our fully stretched spandex morality, over low-carb brunches @Starbucks, two 14” screens of separation; we paint pornographic images of virgins, all called Mary, in the name of art, and, white-clad, **** babes and alter-boys, and penetrate each other, first with our fingers, deeply, then superficially, without even wondering, for a zeptosecond, why we can’t stand one another any longer. We crank-up dependencies, like high street mainliners, shamming and slaughtering for neurotoxic fixes of smileys and Crystal on billion-dollar Kogo yachts, while we all just pedal on, dispassionately, down and over interior canals, to the core of our hocked, abbrev lives, chronically connected and severely distracted, in aromatic polymer bubbles, heedlessly cruising through comic-strip farms of mock vegetables, surely to nowhere and towards no one; and quite frankly, the world laughs at all this, and sobs, and so do I.

Baal was a phony god that was worshipped by many, including King Ahab and Jezebel. Jehovah put it upon Elijah to prove to the people that he was the true God of Israel. Satan created Baal to turn people away from Jehovah God. It took Elijah to prove to the people that Baal was a fraud. Elijah knew that he could show the people the truth and make Baal falter. He told them to slaughter a bull and use it for a sacrifice on an altar. Elijah told them that Baal would be the true God if he could burn the bull but no fire came. But then Jehovah God sent down fire and burned the sacrifice and that put Baal to shame. Even though Elijah had the wood and bull covered with water, both still burned. The people saw that Jehovah is the true God, that was the lesson that they learned. King Ahab and Queen Jezebel promoted Baal worship and it was something they came to regret. Both of them ended up dead and God was pleased with Elijah who was the boldest of his prophets.

COOKING *** I looked around me everything was dark as if my own eyes where completely shut, that the would had come to an end, my eyelids where very heavy like I had a sleeping spell on me, I was seeing things that were given me very bad dreams; the stars are all on dim while they skip around the sky, upon the sea, I seen the reflections of he standing over me; the colored moon beamed upon the land upon everything my eyes could see; I tried so hard to open my eyes But I couldn’t it was as if I was dead, I dreamed many dreams in my head I see things of an ancient time, I felt I have been bond to my bed; As if I was quite insane of true madness, In my mind, I seen different set of eye Looking back at me from another time, I see slaves dancing around me, Crying out to a king that stands before me, The sky was dark; the fair is hot; I could see a big cooking *** Words of their time wasn’t of mine, you could feel the evil all around; While the anger browed in the *** Words of truth wasn’t in their mouths, Lies and so much hate with not faith, Witches are casting out their evil spells, Giving a queen a life of a living hell, Their face turned to me as I started to scream, I seen many things that come to me like something of darken dreams, they were very old holding no youth, I forget your name they would say In a cloud of smoke; Frogs are being tossed in the old cooking *** a chicken tongue, black bird eyes, bugs of the desert land, the thunder in the ancient sky roared while the storm moved on by; I see holly ones being persecuted; The words of accurate knowledge Was told to never be promoted on the land Where the old witches stand on blood, stained sand, that was a command, words of truth are forbidden; enemies casting names of thee into the *** of hell while some where rings a bell; bodyguards taken the prison ones out of the cage; those who has lost their way, ravens are flying around to eat up on the dead the ones who has lost their heads, words of temptations of the flash dancing around the cooking *** my body started feeling cold I didn’t have no more control While lies where being told, My eyelids where heavy as they could be While I was cast into a deep sleep.

we all remember where we were watching the towers burn and fall knowing that things would never be the same at all disbelief at first, or had an action movie slipped into the news no, it was real and then twenty years of vengeful repercussion of military posturing of suffering for many we watched the baddies being painted good and evil being redefined virtue confused impotence and power conflated lies and spin consecrated truth alternated idiot rich guys promoted tax for the poor promulgated democracy desecrated climate destruction accelerated by denialist complacency inequality more concentrated goodness and morality infiltrated by posturing political pus weasels venal vultures of self interest grasping for short term dominance and then .. complacency pervaded as absurdity was accepted as our new state of normal and the height of compassion was owning a dog and tut tutting as refugees marched across our news screens and now we bemoan being isolated from being contaminated we are mostly relegated to stay in our mansions while dinner is contemplated have you been vaccinated?

when the world changed ...
She was the epitome of simplicity, A key to elegance. It was her style, Her signature on what she wore. Her own style she picked from fashion, Cause fashion fades quickly, Style remains forever, It represents quality. The colours she wore were those that looked good on her. She dressed not to be noticed, But, she dressed to be remembered. It gave her confidence, Boosted  her personality. Promoted modesty, beauty, And above all elegance.

Elegance
I held up that grand quilt in my tiny hands, thoughts rushing past my mind. That denim piece splattered with red paint, ah, remember when you wore that for the first time as you picked carrots with Dad? That cotton piece filled with a vibrant orange, how could you forget? That was the dress you wore to your first ever play recital. That baby pink rayon piece, you wore that on the first day of high school, you could not forget. That grey wool piece, that was your Christmas present, and you wore it near the fire. You spilled hot coco on it. That rare purple leather, that is too important to forget. Remember, it was the jacket you wore on you first date. That blue flannel piece, you loved that one. You wore it all the time, ever since the first time you wore it when you won “best speaker” at a school competition. That brown cupro piece, you wore that to your mother's birthday, the one where she got promoted to L.A. That green polyester piece, never can forget, could you? That was the shirt you wore when Dad and Mom divorced.   That white lyocell piece, you wore it at your graduation party, and your whole family was there. That barkcloth piece, it was a day to remember, you united with you brother once again in that dress. That calico piece, you wore that to the hospital when Granddad got a heart attack. That black and white damask piece, that was so beautiful, so you kept it for your dinner. Which you hadn't realized was your engagement dinner with your boyfriend. That red gingham piece, wow, that was the time you met your dad's girlfriend. And Mom had not moved on. That black lace piece, a day never to forget. It was the funeral of your Granddad’s, and that was the dress you wore. That grey gauze piece, it was the shawl you wore when you visited your grandma, and found out she was ill of depression. That amazing white gazar piece, a memorable day. It was the dress you wore to you wedding. That turquoise silk piece, *too soon after your wedding. It was the part of the purse you took to your Grandma's funeral. * That white and blue jacquard fabric, that was the fabric you had for your curtains, when you moved into your own house. That leopard print intarsia piece, it was an amazing day. Your mother visited you the first time in your new home. The both of you cried with the rain pouring outside. Nothing could have ruined that beautiful moment together, united. That satin cobalt blue piece, that dress you wore to the dinner with your parents and husband. Only to later realize that you brother had met with an accident. That exotic lantana piece, you remember, don't you? You wore that dress when you met your brother days later, severely hurt. That red lace piece, you went to London with your husband wearing that. You were so excited. That madras piece, it came from that cushion out of the four your husband bought you. That cream organdy piece, your mother had found it in her closet, a dress from her mother's, and wanted to give it to you. That deep purple paisley piece, you wore that on the day your mother died. And like that, all the thoughts came back to me. All the pieces of my past, fit in together. But it never made sense – that was how my life worked. And there were more pieces, more parts, to fit together, until my life was spread out in front of me. Like a patched quilt.
