Influencers in the Wild, poem
Gimmicks and affectations are no replacements for personality and struggle. Bullies will still graduate and get jobs they don’t deserve. Your hero is a fraud, and their heroes were the villians. So what does that make you? You are more than what you say and type, but you are only what you do.

Hope and Closure
Hope is byline politicians use to get votes, and closure is only in Spielburg films. Hope is not something you can buy or sell even though they always try. There is no closure in real life. That is not the hot take of a typical jaded cynic. It is the call of a freedom fighter,Continue reading “Hope and Closure”
Safe Space, a poem
There once was a young boy, a sweet, but different kid, who was taunted and bullied and he didn’t always handle it well.

Soldiers marching, Here my call. Workers marching, Will never fall. In these times, We must never lie down. ForContinue reading “A Roof and A Doctor”
A Villanelle For Capital
Get up, eat. Drink some speed. Get on the rat race’s beat. Out the door, you proceed, just another person in the street. Not an inch of power to concede. Show up, sign the sheet, like the faceless hog decreed, and with pay, you can’t compete. Day in and out, at a painful speed, destroyContinue reading “A Villanelle For Capital”
