His tweet feed finds, as he unwinds,
With glass of red, south African wine,
A drinker not, but still
In whip-hand’s grip, lest it spill,
But blood! On streets in Charlottesville.

Known truths are all Fake News!
His tweet feed finds, as he unwinds,
With glass of red, south African wine,
A drinker not, but still
In whip-hand’s grip, lest it spill,
But blood! On streets in Charlottesville.

these things we remember,
this UN this united way, that was
unlike exploitation, this freedom
to know that racism is wrong
And to care/ a bit of me / a bit of you
the United Nations was built to give
all people a say / where no super power
should ever exist like an island
onto itself
black lives live for a reason
that needs to be taught

All fake news is generated for some purpose
lies repeated until they no longer
remember the truth, but I cannot speak
for those good old boys, I cannot pretend
to know just how they think, nor would I ever want
to just pretend I could

Peace!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
