      Lit 


Breathe of death

Black ash 

Red sun

Picture this 

as we document our decline



Paint the nation white 

Smile more

Wishing gone with the wind times 

would be gone


Why won’t CNN cover the revolution? 


Ash covered trees 

As we put another nail in our coffin


Scorched earth

Fire

Flood

Rebellion and water


One percent control  the ninety nine percent

We outnumber them



The skies clear

Washed in rain


  From our  ignorance

 We are now disillusioned


Feel the fear

 and Do not let it control you


Distressed genes through 

Generational trauma


We refuse your divisions


Monumental collapse 

Dixie won’t march


Ready for the apocalypse

Don’t forget your hand sanitizer and masks


World turned Downside up


Tear down these walls!


Remote control

 turn off the TV


We speak for ourselves


Bound to each other in reality 

No more lies


Put out the fires

Put out the fires

Put out the fires


Stop the liars

Believe the science


Huddled masses united for a future



Collectively axe breakers


Put down the phone and speak 

Numbers increase

No longer a sheep 


Here we stand

 Our World lit by fire


The times and conditions

Witness this resistance

To save our existence


Downpour upon our heads


Rainbow


 Water shines like stained glass


High tide

Drenched in rain ash and soot

As the fire dies down take up the book


80% and rising


A different song we sing

Voices of the many take up the song 

Sung in silence no more


Grounded heart and soul

No matter the season

Leaves brown and fall

Ice cold snow

Flowers grow

rain falls

Summers heat scorches,

 burns us all


99% capacity met 

The fire still burns as our world is lit


Marching towards freedom 


On the banks of this river a tree grows


We will put out this fire

We will put out this fire

We will put out this fire

We will put out this fire



It is our right,

Our duty to throw off what once bound us


Non compliant

Do not desist

Resistance Unchained 


 We dissent!

Unmasking Poetry

I cannot write a poem Or so I’ve been told  I cannot date I cannot work  Or play sports  What’s an autistic poet to do, not that I know, I cannot do what I've been doing for years?  Who cares if I can or can’t write a poem?  Since when has our value been based on poetry? I don’t play baseball; I dont want to  I can play baseball  I can date  I can work When others choose see me as a person  I can write at least one poem  Though, why stop at one?  When in doubt write  Let your words out  Others don’t define me Or decide  my capabilities I don’t have a disease  I don’t need your pity or contempt  Just your humanity and empathy  While not writing this poem…  In these dark, deadly times  Maybe someday we can all see the humanity in each  Learn to treat others as equal In the meantime  Write through our confusions  Our fears Our doubts  Our love  Our empathy and humanity...

Unified Rememberance

  We  came from across the ocean  to a world we found  you were here before us this was your home through our weapons disease and our god we changed you or killed you we failed to see you we still fail to see you blinded by Manifest Destiny  dreaming of empire We  fought and won our freedom  a freedom we denied those here before us  denied those we ’ d enslaved We put you on reservations  slaughtered  more of you than we can number history slanted and White-washed your stories ~~~~~~~~ We  Stole you from across the ocean  many died  you didn ’ t have our skin color  economically an enslaved workforce is better   we beat you, took away your names stripped you of your cultures your very identities With our laws we took away your humanity the blue and gray went to war  what did you get? freedom?  history slanted and White-washed your stories ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We  put you in camps making you an imagi...

On Our Way To The Execution    I kissed you like it was the last time  our silent trauma bleeds together  In our messy chaotic masterpiece You gave my dead flowers I’ve brought back to life  don’t forget to pick up chocolate on your way to the execution fire outside our window ,  We freeze in the night  Our pain dipped in weirdness  open the windows  to breath in the smoke  make love to me in the  ashes  The executions are coming  let’s live while we wait  sing songs to the children that we’ll never have  I cradle the corpse of my broken dreams  lost in the ashes  let’s sit here and scream hold each other while the world goes insane  apathy  nation  they choose not to care  As our future is dying   we dance on the graveyard  we long to atone  yet the sins were not ours   atonement you must make  execution notice of our nei...
