POEM FOR MAGA PEOPLE The red hat full of lies he's said,Is somehow glued upon your head. I can never change your mind Because you're choosing to be blind. You don't want to see the facts,You just excuse the way he acts. He spews out lies just lik
I used to follow the crowd,
Together, they speak up loud.
The media started a fire,
The crowd despises Trump for being a liar.
I analyzed the truth,
Realizing most of this is fake news.
I open my eyes this morning
To cry so many tears
Then deal with so many fears.
I open my eyes and
I came to realize that
The whole world is in fear.
I open my eyes at the TV
The inspiration I have gathered and grasped
from the ashes of this exhausted relief
fuels a fire untouchable to man
Rising up as the fire burns inside
The Wealthy Man
made a blunder
Did it again
No need to thunder
for he'll soon be
six feet under.
To whom it may concern
I think that any
Bigotry,
Ignorance,
Or prejudice
You harbor deep inside should burn.
Is it a lynching?
Is your body hanging like low, strange fruit
Is your family strange fruit with you too
On that tree, is there fallen leaves?
Can you breathe?
Demigods
Demagogues
Shamelessly
Proudly
Praying or preying,
Crowds high on disdain
But,
Did they know?
The clock,
Is no one’s friend.
When they come for you,
Shed the skin of the colonizer
As if it is not also mine
As if the blood coursing through me did not also
pool along the legs of Malintze
The world watches as numbers trickle in.
Each state lights up in hues of red or blue.
Hope for a female president grows thin.
The man governed by hate now governs you.
Dear Mr. Trump,
Do you hear the words you say?
Does is sound like a roar when you speak?
The hate will rot your teeth.
The racism will weaken your muscles.
The homophobia will wrinkle your skin.
Dear God
Why do you let me down?
I pray and pray, yet I still frown.
Is it something wrong with me?
Are my morals blinding me?
Is everything that I live by binding me to its rules?
Dear Donald Drumpf,
I don’t quite see the appeal
Of a walrus wearing a toupee
Shouting out obscenities while I stand here in dismay
The country is in shambles
Controversial talks aren’t always what they seem
Getting to talk about Donald Trump?
Oh, what a joy!
What a dream.
But somehow I’ve began to wonder,
I’ve seen the tables turn,
A mother,
looking down at her child,
giving kisses to his forehead, and holding him close.
A teenager, acting foolishly and disrespectfully
towards his crush, who seems to be uncomfortable.
Politics & Religion
Were never meant for polite society
My parents taught me.
But polite society doesn't exist
At least in this day and age.
Now and again vulgarities show
Marring perfect plans
There once was an Emperor with a very short temper who focused his attention on clothes. As his closet did grow, it seemed as though he cared not of the council he imposed.
Sniffing, snorting, sneezing,
Sick people wheezing,
The children whisper,
They don’t know the rules,
Don’t listen,
Blurt out answers,
I bake carrot cake
I bake carrot cake for the birthdays and beyond
Even though I hate carrot cake I bake the damn thing and
my hands are orange!
I do it all for you goddamn
i do
Dedicated to the 2016 Presidential Election
People still wonder how could this happen.
How could the Apprentice leave a job of acting.
The most unqualified president ever?
Maybe we should understand the game better.
The thought of someone out there
Believing they do not matter,
Because their president says so.
The satisfied looks on the faces of people
Who have never valued those different than themselves.
Donald Trump plans on putting "America First."
It seems like that could succeed.
Depending first, on what "America First" means
and exactly what is guaranteed.
"America First" would mean supplying our people
I pledge allegiance to the Racism of the United States of America,
and to the Rich, White, and Wealthy for which it stands,
one Nation under a Christian God,
divisible,
I will protest againt this insanity
Speak up without enmity
Even when they set their dogs loose
Because I won't tolerate this abuse
And we're not backing down
I refuse to be led by a clown
We the people
We the people divided
We the people alienated
We the varied
We the broken.
We who break each other down
and hide behind the pieces.
We who have bled,
Have a glass with me, sweetheart
We'll forget the execution
If you don't move a muscle
You'll take pride in revolution
Raise your hand to your heart
Let inhibitions run loose
That's the way to cope
Why are we turning back?
Was the scar from the trail of tears not deep enough?
To plunge another knife, in our tarnished history?
We are the epitome of irony,
and all our immigrant ancestors would agree.
The land of brave
The land of the free
The land to be.
We stand here in awww as if we didn't vote for this change
As if we didn't cast ballets agreeeing to the terms of this contract.
Oh say can you see, the wall being built? The country we once knew now thrown on a tilt.The Dawns early light is from nuclear bombs.People praying in church reading a psalm.For this country, once so strong, now led by a man who acts before he t
The New Omelas

In the great city of Omelas,
Dear Donald Duck,
We are not rapists .
We are not drug dealers.
We are not bringing crime.
Mexico will not pay for your wall.
Mexico will not come to their knees.
Mexico is Free.
America is greatbut the people who made is great don't get to experience it
when profits are low they cut jobs instead of their paychecksthe only people who feel the burden are the ones just trying to scrape by
I cried on election night.
Frozen in fear as I stared at my phone,
I tried to not imagine my friends being dragged away
beaten, bruised, barebacked
like the kids in the history books
when another man said
If William Owens caught sightof the monstrous tugging at the heart strings of the ChiefTheatric Officer Trump & theso cheap & cynical littlethrow-away line of "TheBible teaches us ..."
Sure as heck wouldn't fall for that "Oh its my favouritebook & I keep it by my bedsidetrick" & gather chubby Christianflunkeys to pray over & anointa fascist idiot child,

So good with the ethics,the caring, considerate, oh so compassionate Christian way of getting things done ...
It's over, its done ...
American Christianity stumbles forwardtoward a cruel topsy-turvy world wherehelp is weakness, compassion is cruelty& divisive isolation is preferable to welcome & concern.
"By the way, if she gets to pick,if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know," Trump said.
Of course it’s a Muslim Banwhen Muslim countries areaffected & 1.5 billion folks perceive it to be so,

Come back Barack ...

I know you weren't perfect in that Commander in Chiefbombing innocent folks overseas sort of way,
The pure core of The Donald,that is when he's stripped downto his essential essence much likethe very last doll in the Russian dollset-up where one reveals another is colored green & has pictures of
Shouts, Screams, Thunder, and Roars
All hidden behind unopened doors
Lies, Betrayal, Beaten, and Broke
Buried beneath the ash in the smoke
Fire, War, Gun Shots, and Swords
An outcast and the people’s man
Is nothing but a lewd artifice of a leader
His white hot rhetoric sears into America’s already scarred skin
She weeps for her children
January 20th, 2017, a man who fought the oppressed captured the nation
A man who said the gays should be prayed away to appease creation
A man who is bribed to poison the air of our nation
November 9, 2016, 00:00, you open nytimes .comand the American map glaring back at youis red,like Muslim blood, like Mexican blood, like American blood.
BLACK with no Regret
I'm Black With No Regret
And maybe my shoulders scream it too
Or maybe it's in our stride
And strong voice and afros
I'm Black With Some Regret
I clutch the gun and remember my word is my weapon
I’m almost out of ammo
The ink is starting to run thin
I seal the envelope
And envelop in the pain
I’m forced to pick my poison, as I remember
"Never again"
History's a cruel mystery
But how clever a pen
Cinema's sentiment's more cinnamon-sweet
We're amateur janitors just been sent in to sweep
Epilogue for a demagogue when we set him asleep
Let the sun shine down without being scared,
let the birds sing free without any care,
let there be a languid day, and may it be fair,
Make America great again?
I thought America was fine?
I would really appreciate it
If we didn't leave Muslim behind
He says, "Muslims are terrorist,
Mexicans are rapist,
I’m opening a restaurant
On the corner of Liberty Street
And Broadway.
New York’s Broadway makes billions, but
I got a small loan of a million dollars
This country is a mess.
Promises of freedom for the few by
oppression of the many
taking hold of us,
with anger and a sense of injustice
I can't wrap my head around the phrase "make America great again"
Our history is drenched with blood
Human beings were viewed as beasts
Women are still not equals
And I only just got my right to marry
The man we hate is riseing acully not we,the entire world. he'l build a wall but ladders can get over wall everyone hates him few disagree.
The striking colors of sunset skin,
tears through the hearts of a burning country,
Calling women nasty,
and condeming those who do not love as he,
Start a fire burning brighter than the sun,
Your skin gets you promoted
My skin gets me deported
Your skin is stern
My skin learns
But skin is just a layer of tissue
Many voices cry out in agony,
Many voices are left out.
Many voices are heard in the outrage,
Many voices are left out.
Many voices have many perspectives,
Many voices ignore many voices,
Now who am I
to say that I
am learned beyond my years
In time and blood
the holy flood
of hate and fearful tears
Furrowed and scoffed
we pawned it off
with hopes to buy it back
Bubbles are dangerous- now, let me explain.
Not the nostalgic solution,
Innocence and iridescence
Cherished in childhood
Loved by young and old alike.
No- these bubbles divide
Leaving behind
I am
A woman
Belittled
Degraded
Insignificant
The consequences of my
Gender
I watch white
wealthy
middle-aged
men
in stiff suits
pick and chose
People were buzzing
Did you hear, did you hear
what he said
They were tweeting
about the ridiculous lies
He'll build a wall
they said, they said
He'll save us
Do not grope me in a car.
Do not grope me at a bar.
Do not grope, you understand?
Do not grope me, orange man!
I will build my border wall,
and I will build it very tall.
Trump.
I Said it.
I bet it tasted sour.
Did it roll off your tongue with mercuric ease?
Or did it linger with a pervading pungency.
News heads will babble.
The masses will dabble
There's a group of people, living in silence - in the darkenss
Many are aware of their existence
Many are not
Who am I to shine light on them - shine the truth
It makes me sick to the stomach
I can still hear the cheers and tears of happiness
I can still see the crowds in the streets chanting his name
Waving the flag with pride and seeing a ray of hope
During a time where we had seen so much tragedy
This past year
I reflect that event
Where our new president-elect
Became Donald Trump.
Not only stunned hearts,
But shattered faith
To the country
I thought we could trust.
Setting around a world aflame.
The panic is plain.
Pain and Scars.
Thoughts gone, slipping below radars.
Worlds falling.
Fears clinging.
The tears and shards.
Of a world burned and charred.
Typing was easy --
Writing was hard.
What then was the point of the words
If there lay no meaning behind them?
If no cause stood before them?
If no purpose guided them?
And then a demagogue,
“A time comes when silence is betrayal”When the government's stops telling you what is happening you are doomed to an endless life of misinformation and lies spread thick and thin on propaganda cloaked as movie posters and pop culture. Because w
“Mommy, what’s that noise?” I said.
She paused the news and cocked her head.
“Cheering—from New York!” In awe,
We joined with glee the hissing RAWR!
"This Just In,
The issues of society have made different varieties
Of opinions, thoughts, and actions
Causing riots in the factions
And laws to be completely changed,
Dear America
A letter to the country of the United States of America. What are you doing?
Dear Black America,
Donald Trump won the Republican nomination
What is wrong with this generation?
This is trouble for our future nation
So much of you to see and hear-Too much; I'd rather not.Anything you say or doBecomes a topic that is "hot":
The place I call home -Jessica Jazmin Michaca Silva
I come from a place where families are always united
I come from a place where music is always blasting at every corner
The orange old man
that tried to make a ban
Is on his fourth wife
Yet he still has no life
He opned hotels in Vegas
Which made him famous
This man named Donald Trump
They tell me some of my best pieces were written late night early mornings When the troubles from my past were annoying me like pants creases My troubles are like the freshman fifteen annoying yet creepingThe whole time I was thinking that there
I've had about exactly enough of this
Of the big-wigs telling people that they don't deserve to live
Because they weren't born with money (Where's that silver spoon?)
Looked on the TV
saw trumps tupee.
That man has a lot of words
to say today.
I wonder if he would still like my vote
though, i'm gay?
Righhht...
That's enough FOX
for this stud
I am American,
Not only American but Hispanic.
Cultures joined inevitabley,
Treated inequitably;
Because ONE of both are immigrants
I am the result of their love
YET treated unfair
Just wonna live the American dream;
Fame, power, riches it’s the American scheme.
Everyone is trying to get their spot in the light,
My people, my race, my heritage.
I am a rapist. I am a drug addict. I am good for nothing alcoholic
That is how one person labeled all of my people.
My ancestors.
Now I'm not political. I dont vote. Not even old enough to have taxes to do. But some things have been said that simply aren't true. Now i'm not Mexican. But I am a minority of a minority Black, Hispanic ,Native ,woman and left handed too.
The one-percenter Donald Trump
Announced presidential aspirations with hair in a clump.
Ironic Neil Young song played on
While he looked like a mafia don.
