Injustice

What is injustice
Do we really know
Or is it trust us
Just go with the flow

The flow of slavery
Was the cry
Requiring bravery
Resulting in many to die

A Civil War
Many killed
On Americas shore
The Union fulfilled

A mighty victory
Freeing the slaves
Lincolns valedictory
Following him to the grave

Abortion a cry today
Millions killed before they are born
A legal fray
America torn

Do unborn have rights
Or they live beings
Shining living lights
With thoughts and feelings

Many do not think so
But they thought that long ago
Slaves had no ability to grow
Grow their intelligence past Jim Crow

Unable to vote
Unable to own
Unable to integrate
Unable to relate

But they were alive
And they were given birth
A dream to strive
On this earth

But not the aborted
Never given a chance
Their lives thwarted
Before given a chance to dance

Dance with breath
Dance with a cry
Dance with a hug
Dance with a kiss

Why
Why do they not matter
Abortion is a lie
It is not a womans right

A baby in the womb
Is a God given life
Give the unborn a chance to bloom
And end this strife

Seek the justice
A living human being deserves
Our consciousness should confront us
And upset our nerves

Our nerves need to tingle
And know what is true
A fetus is a living human
Just like me and you

On Trampled Ground

Over Trampled Ground

Visit and enjoy
But what is it
Just a clever decoy
A tourist pit

Not songs of old
Beautiful places of the unknown
Or stories told
Of luscious home grown

But overcrowded masses
Seeing what is made for them
Looking through tourist glasses
The not authentic ho hum

What was
Is gone
A faux pas
Just a yawn

Days long ago
When it was exquisite
A local partisan show
With sentiment and eloquence

An old charm
With genuine people
Living simply with no alarm
On the side of the steep hill

Vineyards and orchards
Olives and grapes
With no ill words
Living with what it takes

To be simple
And kind
With no one to swindle
Or steal you blind

But today
There are plenty
Battling the fray
Too many

In these tourist traps
Marketed as something special
But just ridiculous scraps
On a monetary hijacked vessel

	

Denver

Denver

Denver is  the man
Growing like crazy
He is part of the clan
And he is not lazy

Moving about
Zoom and zag
Ready to loudly shout
And play a game of tag

He can be shy
Hard to get going
Then he is ready to fly
With no slowing

He can be hard headed
Wanting his way
Which can make you lightheaded
But he is almost four but halfway

He is caring and loving
Wanting a hug from you
Giving one without complaining
A hug is honest and true

I like Denver
We have fun
He will be an achiever
A strong one

Together

Together

Together again
Twenty four seven
Running a marathon
Not an unusual phenomenon

Many couples enjoy this life
And many do not
There will be strife
Like a blood clot

It can kill you
If you do not dissolve
The nasty brew
Before it can evolve

Evolve to your heart
Where it can hurt or kill
So be smart
And use your skill

Take medicine to thin your blood
Learn to shrug off the attacks
Or you will be stuck in the mud
So know the facts and relax

A good relationship
Is like blood thinner
Works like forgiveness
We are sinners

So enjoy every minute
Laugh a lot
Be compassionate
They are not an afterthought

Atrocities

Mankind is inhuman and cruel
We do not listen and obey
The earth is a precious jewel
And we have thrown it away

Murders abound
Since the time of Cain and Abel
Just look around
And watch your cable

Every single day
Someone is slain
People do as they may
Causing so much pain

Watch the same news
And war is widespread
Always a lit burning fuse
So many massacred and dead

Add in disease
And more are extinguished
Buckling us to our knees
No one is distinguished

Disease will find you
Where ever you may be
Covid or the flu
You can not hide or flee

At least your alive
Living a life of plenty
Just look at the archive
Many lives are not worth a penny

Some are malnourished
Some are exploited
Some are enslaved
Some are aborted

They are existing
For a period of time
Most are not resisting
It is not a crime

Abortion is legal
To kill a child
But not an eagle
Abortion needs to be reviled

How about the famished
Throughout the globe
Their needs have vanished
As we launch space probes

Spending billions
To go into space
Wasting trillions
For a space race

Race to where
Race to make the cut
Race to be fair
Race to what

What is a human life worth
How much do we spend
To save all humans on earth
Will this neglect ever end

Why do we not realize
This is not what God intended
Can you not hear the cries
Are you not offended
