POETRY’S PATH

Poetry may hide under rocks, too.

Poems litter the path with words

often unattached

to any reality,

and blocking the way

to progress.

But, poetry exposed to the sun,

and shared with everyone,

opens up paths of discovery.

Poems can be used as tools

to bring back home

fearful fools

who climbed too high,

led astray by fraudsters

who use their fear

to build a gate,

and create hate

to block the way

to unity and community.

Our village awaits

the return of those who thus roam.

Let poetry guide you home.

Leave hate behind.

Make easier your climb,

unfettered by false letters

in tweets and squeaks

by cowards, hour upon hour.

Such false facts weigh you down

more than personal adversity.

Community will share the load,

no matter how hard your road.

Love, not hate, always finds its way.

Come home.

Come home.

Come home.

Today.

Hidden Holocaust

The Hidden Holocaust

Where does it hide?

In a banned book?

In a tight fist?

In a churned stomach?

In a dark heart?

In a silent scream?

In a glob of spit?

In a twisted tongue?

In a sullen laugh?

In an uncomfortable joke?

In a smiling smirk?

In a bank vault?

In a legal decision?

In a police cruiser?

In hospital ward?

In a school room?

In a news room?

In you?

In me?

Where does hate hide?
