End Times

           End Times

The apocalypse is coming


God will separate the sheep from the goats


You’ve  predicted past apocalypses

 

None ever showed


We will bring God back! 


Radioactive planet

Our place in the sun


Self-assured destruction

Distracted and divided


Space Force #join today! 

Our weapons’ importers are out of this world 


Turn up the heat

Standing on hotter ground


Go back to the land

Peace farms

Forest protectors


Disarms deal

Organized tree huggers


More food, less bombs


Border Collies against borders


Friends don’t let friends murder our planet

Equality for the people


Running out of time


Unity or death

Fight fire with water


Nuclear free zones

Working for

For a greener tomorrow


Reef return 

Blue oceans 


The forest grows

Wild and free

Trees cover us, providing air and beauty


Fires die down

Polar bear thrives


Last chance 

Change or die


Empires over

Globally re-rooted together

We graft


Blue planet

Breathtaking oxygen 

Cleansing rain on our skin

Bathed in light


Banishing our inner darkness

Healing our moral wounds


Vision of humankind's future

Everyone has a place at the table

Rebuild what we destroyed 

Isn’t it time we change? 


End our divisions

Rise and stand for us all


The end times knock at the door

We may be too late, 

What if there is still time? 


We are the saviors we’ve waited for, 

No one else is coming to rescue us


We have a duty to our earth

To all life upon it

We made this crisis, let’s unmake it


End times

Or begin a different story 

Peace by peace, unite

Defend, and tend


The forest is calling

Listen and follow its voice

There you will find us

By the water

Come and live

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...
