"Alchemy"


The Universe opened up To my pen and started Ranting and Raving over The political antics That hurl mankind back Into Slavery. You placed us in harms way To fight a bad fight of Fright. So long a war 11 years of misery And the fight is not Over. Countless casualties Of war on both sides What are we really fighting For? Non can come back from PTSD, The onslaughts and horrors Of war , a machine of death Defiance in the Name of God you Claim as righteousness Unlike the neighboring Country Love is upside down And Neglected. Long years of I.E.D.'s a d bullets They come home broken Politicians, You turn your backs on Them as they are maimed Lamed and mentally Emotionally Scared. War for money has No Victor's Only lifeless Victims A free world you Claim to defend But its they On front lines That go on suffering. Dope them up with opiates And you stand still on Debates of marijuana Abilities to help cope And heal. Even CPS Workers You abused for years Leave them paranoid And sleepless Because you lack the Sense to fund Abused Children Foster Care is Your National Joke And Veterans you Snarl at sarcastically Hoping they will go away The Suicide rate should slap Your faces Countless foster children And Veterans that are Neglected Yet you brag about Superbowl Money Non of the funds feed Homeless Vets of Foster Care Children Or Even help the Burn out rate of Social Workers on Front lines correcting Your over sight. Shame on your rhetoric It only makes it worse This country is cursed Long been divided By Propaganda Propagation of Power only goes To the Elite and Powerful. America isn't enough enough You've stolen land hid it In History Books. Do you even know How to Declare Peace At G-20 Summits, or Are you just playing Games? Political toys are we all If Collectively we don't Stand together Black, White et All The power is for the People not war for Peace. Backlogged on cases Budget Cuts and Vets Go unheard from This is Hypocrisy At its best No Wonder the Other world laughs In our face As we Police the World Thru Covert Operations Of Imperialism. Stop for minute look Around the whole World Is up side down Did your Political God Do this? Is this the World God Made for Mankind? Whose carrying Liberty's Torch Research it best She got it from Hermes, and Secret orders Among men have Failed the test The New Jerusalem's Dessert Bound. Go back and to your grandfather's Lectures All men have the right to light And to be Free So says The God of Gods Written in the Emerald Tablets But you treat it like a Mythology. Uphold the New Doxology Let the Winds of the Spirit Move from the Four Corners Of the Earth Freedom true Freedom Is not Denim Jeans Or The Bible Belt The truth is people Are suffering And need a real taste Of Freedom.

I am a native of Atlanta, Georgia, and been writing poetry since the age of 16.Poetry turned the painof my life into a zeal for words to express the pain in my life. I graduated from Benjamin Elijah Mays High School in heart of Atlanta. I received a Bachelor's of Science in Child and Family Development from Georgia Southern University December of 2001. I've always felt a that a life of service to others is paramount, which led to my career as a Social Services Case Manager with Ga Department of Human Resources in child protection. My poems reflect life, it's highs and lows. My goal is to turn pain into passion through poetry. Its more than a write for me, its a conversation with the Universe
