Empire in Shades of Blue


Empire in Shades of Blue

 Empire in decay 

Clinging to power at any cost

We will be their collateral 



Blue delusion

Restoring the soul that never was


Falling down to praise our imperial saviors 

Two party-same Imperial system


Take off your blue tinted glasses

 see the truth

We are still falling


Children in cages/

Syria bombed/

War in afghanistan/

Land theft and genoicide in Palestine/

Still in Iraq/

Mass shootings/

Police murdder of black and poc civilians/

No justice for the indgenous


Speaker of the house:

 thanks black man for being murdered

Biden and Harris:

 lie claiming US empire is not currently racists 



Get your heads out of the sand! 

Paint the nation blue

Yah we did that

 it’s time you admit everything is the same


I’ll never vote blue again no matter who! 


Loyalty day! 

Make American nationalist more overtly 

Yes we can!



Biden lies while our planet dies

Wake up! 


Lesser of the two evils# still one of two evils 

Women told to  vote for another man acused of rape, 

He’s not Trump, 

So be an adult and vote for him 

Never again! 


What side are you on? 

The one of reality,

Or the lies you've been fed? 


My parents taught me not lie

Why should I follow those who do? 


Make the US empire gone!

It cannot be saved

What never was can’t be restored


Wake up! 

Hear the alarm bells 

We must deconstruct the empire! 


Neither the democrats or GOP will save us

Both are the ruling class 

Both serve power and empire


Listen to your conscience 

Hear those oppressed by empire calling us to action

We must not fail them or each other


Arise from the propaganda 

Take off your blue shades


Unite now for freedom


The storm now is coming 

You must choose a side

 The empire 

Or the people


When it comes time to choose

Will you break from your chains? 

Do you want life to end? 

Is the empire worth it? 

Can you not understand,

They’d sacrifice you in a minute if it served their own needs


Born of genocide and conquest 

Slavery and land theft

This land soaked in blood 


We must give up our myth

We by god are not chosen

We have no promised land

All people are equal

Every human is human



Wake up! 

Clouds of doom on the horizon

Our planet heats

Fires rage ever hotter



Don’t abandon your humanity

I don’t know what say that will make clear the truth

my heart is breaking

I cannot find the words


Show you care for our planet

Take stand for what’s right

Don’t ignore those who cry out to be saved from the empire's wrath


Take off your blue blinders

Wake up! 


The truth sits beside you 

Only inches away

 don’t ignore 

Or push it away


Take a stand for justice 

Our world and the truth

We can live or die

The choice is ours! 


Our stories unfinished

Unwritten 

We all are the authors 

We choose how it ends


For the sake of life

For the future we make

We must unite in opposition to empires plot


A new day is dawning

Or all our deaths

We choose what will happen

This story is ours

Our fates, our choice


Yes our nation- empire is racist

evil 

Oppressive and powerful

We have strength in our numbers 

We outnumber them


Wake up! 

See the truth

Don’t be fooled by their lies

Heed the alarms that keep ringing


Change the plot

Make America socilast! 


Follow what;’s right

Unite! 

We have nothing to lose but our chains!

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

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...
