I am my costume is me
I risk letting you see behind my mask
I invite you to be part of my dream.
I am my costume is me
I risk letting you see behind my mask
I invite you to be part of my dream.
The storm
Forms
When norms unadorned
Are re-formed
Allowing those who wish
To perform
Outside our norms
And create the storm
Citizenry
To be me
To be free
To be part of this
Country
To see
Truly see
What we’re supposed to be
Not part of Illegitimacy
The chief deranger
is a clear and present danger
and a big part
of why it gets stranger
everywhere, every day
in every way
Please, we must insist
on getting back
what we’ve missed
as the list
grows longer and longer
Missing leadership with grace,
where followers place
space in their hearts
and do their parts
helping others start
anew
Isn’t that what you
and I should do
Where we can work to renew
this nation, our citizenry
back into
a world’s who’s who
The universe provides
Some others divide
I have pride
For what’s inside
And how to arrive
At what to prescribe
To B me alive
No
Know
Now
Known
Weather changing
Leaves all blown
Down to
Cover Earth
Giving soil
Sustaining worth
To grow what’s
New sown
10,9,8, isn’t this great?
7,6,5, to be THIS alive?
4,3,2, and to spend this time with you?
1, what fun?
The best thing to do
Broken beauty
with perfect imperfections
Abounds and surrounds
Notice it
Relish it
Bathe in it
Until,
repaired in mind’s eye
People being positive
Replace persnickety people
Humans being humorous
Have healthy habits
When we’re welcoming
We’re wealthy
Division
indecision oblivion
Branch Dividian
all earth citizen.
It’s all a con.
Not just by
the Orange Don.
But his Trumps all.
This is not – a ball,
nor any fun at all,
this constant call
for vitriol.
Against us all
Muslims, blacks,
immigrants one and all.
Unless you’re white y’all
and maybe “Christian” if that’s what you call
all this ribald folderol
behind your wall.
Let’s change
the conversation
for creation
of dialogue,
a prologue
to minimizing this long,
slow slog
and end with an epilogue
of love.
A decision
ending derision.
