There is a quiet beauty
in those souls society has deemed 'not enough'.

A beauty that glows in the eyes,
pooled with the depth of pain—
a soul that was wounded,
but never broken.

The world sees only their quiet treading.
But I see—
a warrior in rest.

Where can you go
when your mind is the battleground?
Not of ideas,
but of your very existence—

when the judge,
the jury,
and the executioner
all live within.

Does society not see?
No flesh could ever contain
such a fearless warrior,
hiding in themselves
from
themselves
just to walk among us,
mere mortals.
This poem is for the quiet fighters, the ones who have made a home in the battleground of their own mind. You are seen🫂
He lumbers forth, an obscene myth,
Truth gagged beneath his gluttoned pith.
A plodding gait, a sneering stare
The crowd exalts his vacant air.

He speaks in slogans, not in sense,
Each lie a brick in ignorance.
The sheep applaud, their minds on lease,
Their souls exchanged for false release.

The sky turns static, facts decay,
The clocks strike thirteen every day.
He sneers decree, they call it law,
While reason gnaws its bleeding jaw.

The Ministry of Truth rewrites
The past in glowing orange lights.
The Ogre grins, the masses cheer
Their thoughts erased, doubts unclear.

He points, they pounce. He sneers, they kneel.
Their hearts adorned with black appeal.
They wear his name like sacred thread,
While truth lies bleeding, left for dead.

Yet somewhere deep beneath the din,
A whisper stirs, a rebel grin.
A pen is raised, a voice is born
To mock the crown, to scream the scorn.

For in the shadows, rebels write,
With ink that glows with fury's might.
Through whispered truths the world forgot,
Where lies obscenity, it shall not!

A blatant Call to Arms @ Charlie Kirk's memorial framed a chilling tableau : where grief and martyrdom was used through mass media to amplify loyalty and suppress dissent, potentially laying the groundwork for future public crackdowns on the political opposition?
Some of God's saints have it the worst!
Though they're truly blessed,
It seems like they're cursed!

Cathy woke up... a chair for her bed,
She couldn't walk,  she slept sitting instead.
She walked as long as she thought she ought
She walked along until she COULD NOT.

Josh got a call from a doctor who said
All the man's body was a ledger in red.
Without a procedure he'd live life in dread,
Without a procedure he'd likely be dead.

Cathy went out,  nursing home bound,
Where friends and family would not be around.
For Josh death WAS the end of his story!
But that end would bring
God the most glory!

Sometimes our pain shows how we endure
Life is not blessing when there is no cure!
God doesn't heal the way we think He ought,
Sometimes we sleep, the fight of faith fought.

So let's undergird the saints who despair
Be the friends and family that they don't have there!
When a saint has received
A bad report!
Please do not shun him!
Don't be that sort!

No! Jesus still loves them more than you know
Yes! Jesus still loves them...

THE WORD TELLS US SO!!!

If John the Baptist
were alive today
he would be wearing
second hand clothes
with holes in them .
He would be living
on the streets
with cardboard
for shelter

He would be
eating out of garbage cans
but he would never
need to beg

He would be
on every street corner
telling us we must
repent and to prepare
for one coming
that would be greater
than him

And no one
would be listening
to a homeless
man on the street
They have children,  
they have homes,  
they have money,  
they have jobs,  
they have cars...
and there are so many other things they wish to have.  

We, poets,
have paper and pen.  
That's enough.
For free, but hardly costless,
for you big lollipop suckers,
c a u s e,
every time I breathe in some atmosphere,
outcome these up chucked integers and alphabets to poll-
-ute the remaining "good air," which isn't i know very fait fair,
but would you rather this thin poesy lighter-than-whipped cream and
jello shaking handshaking easy eating than all that other stuff I obsess
about in no particular order, like life and death, counting my re-main-
lining breaths, love 'n like, awesome vs. trite, hot love and cold po-
-tatoe mustardy salad, punch and paunch, my endless declination into febrile old age and the wasting away processes most unfortunate,
that fuels a trillion dollar healthcare IN-dustry (midwest pro-nun-she-ate-sean), vitamins and supplements, manufactured in contaminated
factories in the farout east, that are not usda grade A, unless mixed with good **** and to hell with this graffiti wordley *****, even i'm
fed up from writing all this serious stuff, and Brother Leonard,
who is always very ******, says
fkinA, halle-lou-y'all
the end is near
Love doesn't discriminate
it breaks all barriers
touches every heart.

Love has no limit
no boundaries
it flows endlessly like time.
Walking through the fabled night
of ancient skies and gray sidewalks
Stepping into the world
of hot humid June

When metals towered over the sky,
Like match sticks lined up above stones
the luminescent streets blazed
into the night

Those glasses that shimmered
bright lights and yellow fireworks,
Falling with gravity,
relishing in sweet air and downfall

The wind from a distant land
that caressed the trees,
their shadows dancing
on the streets

I saw you there in broad shadows
when I marched amidst silence
I have lost my path
to the night that has fallen

But in your eternal flames, I stood
knowing that I’m still here
Today you have
the power to hurt.

Tomorrow you will be hurt.
Time will turn the tide.

Nothing always remains the same.
The high and mighty have fallen too.

History keeps reminding
again and again.
