More goes on behind closed doors Than you shall ever know. Yes, corruption and malfeasance But that is not what I mean. Behind closed doors, An abused partner cries. Behind closed doors A child’s dream is denied, Because Mommy got fired. Behind closed doors A young man cleans up his Grandmother’s urine Just like sheContinue reading “Behind Closed Doors, A Poem”

Why I Do Not Go to Indivisible Protests
A protest without confrontation is not a protest, and a protest that gets permits to march in the streets is a parade.
LIES Warren, A poem for Liz, the fraud and traitor, Warren
Liar Liar Pants on Fire Caught Red Handed. She stabbed Bernie in the back With a political attack That was totally ungrounded. Political ambition Blinded her from the mission Of speaking for the wounded. The gal with the plan Had no plan And so her chances now have ended.

Iran, a poem 🇮🇷

The Constitution is my guide in this process and that’s why I urge my colleagues to vote to #ImpeachTrump. – Tweet from Rep Slvia GarciaContinue reading “F**K You Sylvia Garcia”

Hundreds of lives a year
Hundreds of lives a year, No rest for the wicked they say. But what is so wicked about selling something to feed a baby? When you have nothing to sell but flesh or a high, Is that really your fault? Hundreds of lives a year, Thousands rotting in the cold Or drowning in the rain.Continue reading “Hundreds of lives a year”
