Blood Money

Now that you are dead,
I will be your author.
To tell your sad or happy story,
as I see it.
To carry your memory...
to share your stolen life with ignorant others.

I now orate a poem
that is a reality, a tragedy.
The next generation will hear my bias blood-curdling cry.
To cry your story onto the blank page.
To receive my living as a writer.

Her

 Church is loud and hidden. Full of praise, unprecedented resilience. She bites an apple, then walks into an eternal city. She rests on Sabbath, then battles ignorance. Strong and faulted, given grace and Jerusalem walls. She hides her beauty while Jesus peers significant.

Unstable

 The clouds are unstable So too are the waves But my faith is stable, solid. Rally and debate is unstable. Fire and Water too. But, God hold us safe.

Reach

 I both reach and retreat. I want you and want nothing to do with you. It is predictable that I both hate and love you. I want you near and must retreat. Like a civil war and trip to Disney Land. You are my contradiction Both push and pull. America, I pledge allegiance and protest you for being immoral.
