Shine Brighter

Let your light shine brighter than 

it ever has 

Let go of fear,

doubt

and baggage from the past

It won't be easy

But nothing great 

ever is

So hone your

focus

and handle your

biz

Let your practice 

become 

daily 

routine

Watch that discipline 

build much needed self esteem

You have to make time

no excuses

will do

Even if you take it

on the chin

Get back up 

See it through

Cause sooner or later 

we all learn 

there's no other

way

Let your light shine

brighter than it 

ever has

Start today

Wake to all the possibilities
It's a new day

Carrying around baggage
is played out anyway.

Ridding Writer's Block

Writers block has come my way

Can't find the inspiration anywhere today

Maybe it's from my lack of sleep

Or trying to hard to come up with something 

really deep

Could be I'm distracted by the phone

I do need to leave that Twitter feed alone

Then again, the weekend may be on my mind

Will I hang a little or just sit back and unwind

Or perhaps, these hunger pangs

are determining my fate

Should I snack, 

Wait a minute,

I just ate

Not sure how it came to be

or how  it'll be 

rid

Hold up, ain't that 

something 

I think I just 

did

Warm night
Stormy rain

First saw her
in a picture frame

But never knew that it would be
night after night of ecstasy

Thieves In the Temple

Thieves in the temple

Devils at the door

Giving to the rich

Robbing the poor

Claiming to work for you

while robbing you blind

They say no more free lunch

and lavishly dine on your dime

They stick you up for your healthcare

You pay more and get less

But your tax dollars

assure their insurance is the 

best

Perfidy presented,

 sometime, 

not even with a smile

Good ol' boys backroom

 dealing

Bullshittin'

all the while

So, I say it again 

for

all our sakes

It's not enough for 

our eyes to be open

We must be awake

For these villains are 

methodical,

filled with selfishness

and greed

What I'm saying is good people

we need to purge the temple

of these thieves

So, the next time they f*** you over,

let them know that's all she wrote

And use your power,

 people

Use the power of organization, 

unity and the

vote

Normalizing Nonsense

The heir apparent to,
 "If it bleeds, it leads"

Faking the story
is now how networks
succeed

Pioneered by a fox
in journalist gear

Perfected with pretty ladies,
angry men and fear

Say it enough times and the virus
will spread

Infecting Cell Phone Zombies
Poisonous memes in their heads

Talking points, marching orders
The limit is the sky

When you normalize nonsense,
conspiracies and lies

Normalizing nonsense, conspiracies and lies
Common sense no longer applies

She can report gloom with a gleam in her eyes

He can kick you down
If his ruse is denied

They blur the lines between real and fake

Though your eyes are open
you're not awake

The dark ages have returned
to destroy the great

As brains are buried
in cyberspace

It is the state we're in
and no one should be surprised

Because we normalized nonsense,
conspiracies and lies

Never Forgotten

Meager Evers

Mississippi born

I honor your memory

but also I mourn

For it was a cowardly act

that took your life

But like a true hero

you didn't think twice

about the sacrifice 

you had to make

You knew full 

well what was at stake

The future of a country

some said 

was rotten

But you believed

it would renounce its

sins

and for that you will 

never be forgotten
