FAÇADE REVEALED
NOTHING has changed—
I can still hear
Soulful groans, mothers’ cries,
As their children, ripped away from them,
Are taken for a “lil ride.”
Lynchings continue…
Disguised and revolutionized under a guise
Of justice, but look into Their eyes

THUS SPAKE THE MED OAK
You are loveshine,
Lifelight,
Heavenly warmth
I photosynthesize.
Without you
We couldn't breathe,

RESISTANCE
Chemical-agents and
smoke from trash-fires
sit and stare,
hanging in the air--
a smoggy-spectator;
while my skin does the cheering,
'cause there has to be an audience in my skin
raging
burning
churning
my anger into rage.
"BURST-2!"
--CLING--

I'M JUST SAYIN' THOUGH
The other day,
A comrade asked me,
“do you need anything?”
I said, “a hug.”
Yet, it’s beyond that.
Though I’m a realist,
understanding the ramifications
of my confinement,
I can’t take the coward’s way.
I must say,
I need affection,
