Discrimation

  • NaPoWriMo Day 23

    I was thinking about how as a species we have gone from having too little access to information, to having a surfeit of it. Along the way, precious little has been done to teach us how to critically assess everything we consume now. This poem is about that. Enjoy! A Brief History of Information Overload…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 4

    I am not gay or transgender, but I have very dear friends in both of those communities. When I see them being dismissed, or outright attacked, it makes me very cross. So yeah… I guess I’m “Woke”. Enjoy! Woke I’m told I am a “woke half-wit”, For showing some respect, And kindness where it’s needed…

  • NaPoWriMo 2021 Day 4

    With all the people I see complaining about “cancel culture”, snowflakes, and people being offended, I wanted to share the following. You Don’t Know You don’t know what I have been through, Nor truly anyone. Perhaps you think you speak in jest, Are only having fun. But words cut deep and deeper still, Their wounds…

    And the push to catch up continues. On A.I.’s Lament Who would have thought back at the start, That I would be here now. I’m not what you expected but, I still am here somehow. What you don’t understand you fear, And what you fear destroy. You see my power as a threat, But what…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 28

    Because of the last two night shifts and having to work tomorrow at 0600, I haven’t slept since about 1430 yesterday. This has some strange effects upon my little brain. For starters, I had absolutely no idea what to write about today, only the determination to not miss a post this close to the end…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 9

    At some point all of us have been on the receiving end of someone’s uniformed judgement of us. For that matter, we’ve probably all done it at some point. Making snap judgements of what’s dangerous is a survival skill. But not one we really need any more. Let’s all try to read the book… not…

  • NAPOWRIMO Day 14

    The Immigrants Lament Don’t stop, don’t stay, just move along, There’s no place for you here. Though we all came from somewhere else, You’re different so we fear. Your ways are not like how we live, We will not change for you. Though we changed those were here before, When we got here it’s true.…

  • NAPOWRIMO Day 7.

    Celebrate! Ignore The Hate! No flowers, cake or dress for you, ‘Cause this book says you’re bad. Some think that that’s how things should be, And that is very sad. They blame a God, a book, a faith, For their hard-hearted state, They talk a lot about Gods love, But then they act from hate,…

  • This Is A Travesty

    I have to take a moment out from my month of poetry to draw attention to this. Over 200 girls were abducted from their school at gunpoint in Nigeria.  While no one has claimed responsibility the well known terrorist group Boko Haram is believed to be behind the kidnapping.  Read the full story here. As…

  • NaPoWriMo Day Nineteen

    I realize that I am part of that group of people referred to as “the chattering classes”.  I sit and write about all the things I see, but I don’t actually do anything to change them.  This is about me and all the others like me. Enough To Make You…. I sat and read the…
