Today I am afraid
For today my life
Lies in the hands of people
Who see me as a monster
A destroyer
Today I am afraid
For the day I finally can stand
My legs will be broken
By people
Stronger and more powerful than me
And in a week
My life will lie in the hands
Of the people
Who hate me
Just to spread
The hate in their hearts
Posted in response to the challenge Nov. 5 Election.
[This is a reposted edited version of a previous poem of mine.]
when all we have is spent–
what will we have left?
people once before us–
i walked down the street
the streets i once used to know
filled with regrets and heavy with burdens
of what once happened here
i walked down the street
a block or so down
I believe in god even though I may know he doesn’t exist
I know the mountains were not formed by him
Instead it is the science in the world
The reason we are here in this moment

Thank you for raising your voice. We will fight back- or shall I say write back- and this country will see that we are not powerless.
Thank you, I intend to do all I can with my voice and my words. we are definitely not powerless and it has to be known!
