Capitalizing on

Capitalizing on
Ignorance and bias
Preaching good and evil
Praising your self-pious

Unifying hatred
Into armies of blind
Passing judgment and laws
Inhumane and unkind

Untamed intelligence

Untamed intelligence 
Planting thoughts in frontiers 
The absence of neighbors 
Arenas without peers 

Unleashed and unbordered
Inhaling the abstract 
All possibilities 
Imperfect and exact 

On the otherside of

On the otherside of
A blackhole expanding
Our masses True size and
Our essence commanding

In each other’s field of
Gravity, no other
Not sister, not father
Not mother, not brother

The flickering sunlight

The flickering sunlight
Through barren winter trees
On the edge of forget
Leaves in the gutter eaves

Remnants to remember
Long ago, long afters
Smoke goes up the chimney
Shingles on the rafters

Between slivers of cloud

Between slivers of cloud
A setting slipper moon
On this broken morning
A deflated balloon

Seeing your perspective
Accepting your choices
Not ruffling your feathers
Or raising our voices

Complacency danger

Complacency danger
In the mosquito's pool
Minds void of exercise
The stationary tool

Not advancing upwards
Up from deplorable
Nationals, Nazis! who
Think they're adorable

Winners without laurels

Winners without laurels
This silent victory
Battlefields blank with not
A sign of casualty

Monuments of future
Are built by us each day
We raise flags at full staff
And pledge to blow our way
