I live in exile. Because of that, I am close to a number of people in the political asylum systems throughout the EU. I have a friend in the system who prays she'll not be sent back to Iran. This is her story, from her own petition, written November…
I'm guilty until proven innocent--
Lee H. Oswald is my name--
I was born in 1939,
to a military family.
Wikipedia tells outright lies about me--
The Warren Commission did the same--
And then there's Bugliosi who
Was paid a million to blacken my name…

I like what you wrote here:
So let’s work in the details, let’s identify everything that does not work or work well, anything that does not profit everyone instead of the few, and see how we can change the world slowly in time to benefit humanity as…
Thank you! I'm repeaing what I wrote above,,, I'm going to post another one on the topic. It is not biography, even though I myself have to live in exile because I was Lee Harvey Oswald's lover (he was accused of murdering JFK-- see http://www.judyt…
I agree with much of what you say. Health care should be a right. Whatever happened to compassion? Your poem speaks the truth about health care cuts. It is so easy to become sick and homeless in America.
With all the blather about health care reform being foisted upon us, I never thought I'd see anyone cut through the nonsense. I agree with your every word; my conscience certainly does. What good it does one to read words employed to clarify rather…

Oh, no! HE'S/SHE'S A MEAT-EATER!
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
Methane gases, execution of helpless animals, digestion of helpless animals! HOW DARE YOU EAT MEAT!!!!!
I have been accosted for defending meat-eaters. I was basically called a cannibal.

Because there are many horror stories out there making people afraid of government-sponsored health care (even though we, human beings who need each other, have all joined ourselves to governments for our mutual protection!), I expect the following…
Getting My Breath
We are in the age of raging time,
rhyme and reason down the drain
with our coffee grinds,
quick views and videos, terror on the tubes,
smart-mouths cursing
between commercials
repeating Breaking News.
Find somehow a parking place,…
I used to believe that a barrier –skin—
stood dividing all people…
a thin, but immense wall
barring true intimacy…
not mere skin’s color, though color has served
as barrier enough in times past,
nor can mere stimulation of the skin—
and what lies be…
Re: Freedom to Be Different: in Doggerel Verse

EXECUTION
The deserter walked, hands tied behind his back,
kerchief like a flag of truce around his neck.
He stumbled towards the wall, the end of life:
strange, so definite an end placed before him:
thick, strong red bricks. Reluctant (was there a…
This poem touches me deeply. There are some good visual elements that draw us in there with you.

Ambrose Bierce: A House Is Not a Home
A House is Not a Home: Ambrose Bierce’s Development
of a Unique Gothic Writing Style Appropriating Romanticism and Realism
“We…have repudiated it [the dark side of existence]…because
we strive to construct a conscious world that is safe and manageable…
Yet, even in our midst, the poet now and then catches sight of the
figures that people the night world—the spirits, demons and gods.”
