Thanks to those who stood
Refusing to accept things
And speak for justice

Freedom’s Call
Life is resistance
Often reflexively done
Freedom’s cry is loud.
Forbidden
What is forbidden
Is not always wrong, rather
Damages power
Hope is resistance
False power calling
The allure of fear and rage.
Hope always triumphs.
Terror to Power

Terror to power
World Poetry Day
As today is World Poetry Day, I offer up this contribution:
Shall we celebrate power?
Speaking conscience to the brutal.
When nothing else can resist.
Words sharper than swords?
Or those words capturing love?
That exquisite, maddening
Sensation. Delightful, painful,
No greater sorrow, or pleasure.
Poetry, indefinable, glorious
Mystery. Savor this moment
For soon we shall recommence
Our most divine torment.
