Is it possible my perspective is so wrong?
That this is an absurd movement for civil rights?
Because some All Lives Matter folks are saying so
going so far as to say saying Black Lives Matter is racist
which is some seriously fucked up Alabaster patrol logic
I am challenged by their conviction, less…
The sliver of the waxing crescent tonight
brought me more than just a sliver of hope
that we might rise up together for justice
and just like the moon’s growing illumination
may we fill the darkness and bring back the light
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We’ve slipped into summer
right along with a solar eclipse
and an uprising in full swing
Meanwhile a rally in Tulsa
for a racist n’ sexist president
was a grand flop of an occasion
as K-Pop n’ tens of thousands
of tik-tokin teens went ahead and
showed up in a clever way to help…
Tonight Solstice is here
Tonight the Solar eclipse comes
Today Juneteenth celebrations continue
Today the sun shines on my face and I say thank you
June 20, 2020 gives us plenty to place hope upon
the path is still perilous yet there is reasons to stay positive
persist through the tyranny, the…
Juneteenth is here
in the midst of an uprising
in the midst of a global pandemic
a moment that one day all of humanity
will hopefully look back on and celebrate
for civil and human rights are being demanded
if the movement persists, justice and peace will be had
May…
Sometimes the best thing we can do is listen
Listen to the voices who’ve been shut down
Listen to the voices who’ve been brutalized
Listen to the voices who’ve been marginalized
Listen to the voices who’ve been resilient through it all
We all have pain, suffering, and sadness in our…
Calling upon patience
are you there for me?
I’m facing some frustration
and could use some help
Beyond the simplicity
of practicing acceptance
what is one to do, really?
Oh, it really is that simple?
Just accept the circumstances
take a few deep breaths and perhaps
laugh at the absurdity of it…
Slippery slope
slide down,
down,
down
We get soaked
so we’ll need
to dry on up
But let us not
forget or rather
let us remember
that we have a hand
in our fate but maybe
not so much in our destiny

Black Trans Lives Matter
the demonstration chant rings clear
among the many call and responses
this one has moved me more than most
Yelling this out, along with thousands of folks
marching in the streets sends a palpable energy
that has carried winds of change straight towards justice
as the Supreme Court took…
A revolution is being televised although
not through your regular media broadcasting
it’s more of a social network spread event
which also brings, facial recognition software
that is being weaponized to target those rising up
Once again presenting a paradox to this process
pitting a desire to share the progress from…
