Equality
Equality
Equality is
like a summer breeze:
refreshing,
fleeting—
dependent on
the day
and on the sky’s
color.
We Are Equal
We are Human
We are one
We are equal
Let nobody divide us
Let nobody insult us
Let nobody disturb us
Let nobody change us
Let not because of the skin that we are divided
Let not because of wealth that we are divided
Let not because of knowledge that we are divided
Let not because of language that we are divided
Let not because of culture that we are divided
It’s not the race that decide
It’s not the color that decide
It’s not the banner that decide
It’s the people that decide
ideology is just a term
ideology is just a word
ideology does not prove anything
ideology proves that it is there to divide us
let not because of ideology we killed our own species
let not because of ideology we distance ourselves from or own species
we are human
we are one
Streets Governed Criminal
Can you grasp something that's invisible
In the streets governed by the streets driven criminal
In the sheets, painted up with a face that isn't yours
and your hands tainted with the blood of others, and unopened doors
The sun has gone down, and the homeless are freezing
Some dancing around, and with food appeasing
While you and some others are in the room all alone..
and the air smothers you, and anxiety brings life out of the zone
A hand comes out of your thumping heart, and suffocates you silly
It comes out screaming, and dumping the pain of the world, and you get chilly
You wish you could save the world, and cradle the ill in your hands
Bring, pave and stretch out the curled, lost, to comfort the bullied trans
What is the world, when you walk around to live with someone else's blood on your hands
To live when you ignore and talk happiness but can't give and end the flood to the disappearing lands?
Don't you ever wonder what the world means when there's a bunch of so called nobodies?
Acting like a blunder is a murder and people just have a hunch who you are, and lay on our tragedies?
What is morality?
When we are bathed in brutality?
Laugh it off like we don't know,
While people are screaming below
and someone has to pay and die
and all people say is "I'm sorry, I can't, goodbye."
This is humanity.
We all try to ignore the insanity.
and someone's on the floor crying for someone to be there
and others just seem to kick, scream and glare
but for their sisters and brothers they'd probably shed a tear
But for anyone else they say they can't be here
It's truly disgusting
Respect is forever rusting
Screaming "Equality!" yet fighting and burning homes in it's name, adding blood to the unnecessary sea of issues of gender and "race" and the others trivial differences we try to hold
Through actual frivolity of rewriting and turning around simple non-offensive words like its a game, yet somehow determining what you are by shape of your face, through privileged or how old
When we both share the same organs, the emotions, and planet
breathing the same air, through the grass and granite
and still we fight which status, and hands matter the most
Competing with our apparatus and plans, that catch the eye to bleed one of our fellow brothers as a host
What's the point if we stand on dead bodies to live?
To disjoint lives that are so much more meaningful and bite the hand that gives?
This must be the meaning of our lives
To bleed a poor soul and find the next one that arrives.
The Poison In You
What if I wasn't like you?
And I was just me, and Myself was true?
And if you did bad would it mean I would too?
Would it mean if I did it, I'm exactly like you?
Would I be subject to your evil?
Would I be subject to your internal upheaval?
What if I am good in spirit,
And you might just rather not hear it
And if I did bad, does it mean I'm just like you?
Looking for an excuse for the culprit that causes blue?
Decisions left to baseless comparison
Myself gone from me, and origin
She tells me so, I'm just like him and her
Do you see my other qualities as just a blur?
Bring my poison, she admits me to it
Determines me as someone else and then she sits
Then, who am I?
A continuation of your deranged views, someone elses cry?
the taijitu of disparity
as long as
we keep an inkling
the size of a
mustard seed
that there
will be another day,
there is hope
for change
and growth.
as even those who have
no knowledge of
the virtue of hope,
are but slaves to it
as long as
a single soul
on the face
of the Earth
believes in it's worth,
and that is what
he who hath no hope
despises most.

Equal grounds
We need to take a stand
Screw all the dumb teenagers who use the term "YOLO"
While you're at it screw Drake too and the song "the motto"
I can't tell if the people are dumb or just simply confused
I reckon I should give a lesson on when and when not to use
You've got inspiration born from dedication from people who live once
then you got the stupid born from society deciding to eat a worm for lunch
Its gives me little faith in humanity seeing how people live their lives
I know it isn't mine but I think its a waste for the many soldiers that have died
We've been given freedom and equality I'm sure they'd be ashamed
The overdose of poison injected in our ear, The doctors are to blame
All they talk about is a messed up life and exaggerate the truth
Between listen to the nonsense, I would rather loose a tooth
Its time to make a change society need a new leader
We need someone who will make a change and be a good preacher
Cleanse the delusional minds of the modern day "Hip-Hop"
Its the same as a Chinese made Iphone, they're both rip offs.
Look (Up) Upon
They say to stand tall
Don't they know?
Know it can take it all just to crawl?
Silly to pretend you've never hit a wall
You're not the only one
We're all not alone
And neither are you
And neither am I.
Notice the flow
And learn it's fake
See the stuck around you
You're above, as you watch from below.

* Poems To Women
39 POEMS TO SACRED PATHS ALL WOMEN TAKE
1000 LIVES
One thousand male arrows
it takes
to make one maid
dandelion seed ball
After 1000 lives
as husband son and brother
God did trust him
with one lifetime as a mother
*
(to WHO who works so hard
for his wife and children)
*
SPEED AND INACTION
*
The mind is attracted
to speed..
the heart to the slowness
of listening.
*
FREED FROM FACT
*
A woman of liberation
without limitation
A woman confident
soaring above imitation
whose ideas may fly
freed of a cage of facts.
(to Elizabeth Williams
who discovered Mad Deer Disease
25 years ago at a research
station in Colorado)
(Currently many say that
the Colorado Dept of Wildlife
spread Mad Elk Disease)
http://www.mad-cow.org
*
PRIEST AND RED SEA (VISION)
*
A priest walked through a huge crowd which parted before him like the Red Sea as he carried the lidded monstrance which contained within it the Host, the Eucharist, Christ as Bread. He approached a woman and handed her the chalice. (Of the many possible interpretations one is that whenever a soul is liberated, she is handed her own
divinity. Another is that women will inevitably be priests.
*
DIEU NHAN
*
Little baby girl
crawling on the floor
past the toys your
mother placed for you
.. over to the pen..
the pen to women
forbidden..
over and over
to the pen..
as blood flows in
all beings
so the ink waiting
to be written
flows in all women.
(to the first recorded Buddhist
Vietnamese woman poet)

BEV EYES
*
Bev's eyes are portals
to realms immortal
realms which her
kind heart rules
*
BYERS AVENUE
*
On Byers Avenue in HIGHland
Square in SUMMIT County
in Akron (Akros.. Greek for High)
in O Hi O
there lived an abortionist..
He asked a little girl across
the street
and aged six
to weed his garden for
2 bits. Sh hated it.
She took out all
of a certain blue plant.
He told her to go back
and get the rest.. so she took
out another kind.. a bright
red weaving weed.. He told
her not to finish til all
were gone.. til there was just a muddy
pile.. where once there'd been
green growing life.. ......
that was the last time she killed
for money.
(His mansion surrounded by high iron
fence is gone now... a high rise
senior citizen apartment building
has taken its place.)
*
(to M. B. Wallman)
*
PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTIONIST
*
She saw a partial birth abortionist
on tv.. a jet
pilot who had dropped a daisy cutter
bomb on a pregnant woman.
*
DELAYED ENTRANCE ON THE STAGE
A woman went to someone with gifts of
spiritual prophecy.. the seeker
had had 3 abortions.. the prophet
who knew nothing of her
said to her "I see a soul has knocked
on your door three times.. The 4th
time you will let him in."
The seeker burst into tears, for she
realized she had not taken away a soul's
only chance at human birth, but had only
delayed his entrance on the stage.
POWER AND BEAUTY
most statues are of warmongering
old men..
most pornography is of young women..
inflexible ancient stone..
.. rigid power seeking to violate
is beaten by concord
.. now new green ivy leaves
.. have conquered.
CINDERELLA PUMPKIN
This year an 1100 pound pumpkin
broke previous records..
... perhaps she is
sad to be trapped
in such a big pumpkin
shell
.. where her growers
have 'kept her very well'
but her size has so
blessed others
.. and soon Cinderella
will
burst out of
her private hell.
WATER MONUMENT
Next to the monuments to
famous men of action
are often reflecting pools
or lakes:
monuments to their wives..
a place of receiving
not of imposing
the stone in the statue
is inert while the water
continues to empower.
(It is not known by all that upon Thomas Jefferson's death over 200 of
his slaves were sold on the auction block.. slaves in many cases who
had worked for him their entire lives Jefferson fought to make
Missouri a slave state and allowed the French colonial invaders to return to Haiti
after John Adams had sent protection to the Haitian revolutionaries. Jefferson's legacy lives on as both Missouri and Virginia are in the execution column of states with racist patterns
of imposing the death penalty. Only 25% of US states and only 12% of the world's
countries are still involved in premeditated judicial, jury, and prosecutorial murder.)
FULL MOON PITCHER
The full moon poured
pitcher after pitcher
of coconut milk
into the sea..
and the sea..
the sea silvered it all.
(to Ruth Thomas, peace educator
for 18 of her 98 years on earth)
MOTHER EARTH GIVES HERSELF AN A
Flaming maple leaves
fall to earth..
and spangle every plant
as Mother Earth decides
to give herself
and all her children
an A in the fall
.. and in the spring
she gives each field
many gold stars..
of sunny smiling
dandy lions
HOW JESUS' SOUL CAME TO MARY
Like falling rain
oer lilyleaf tripped
Like pure moon into bright
cloud slipped
Like setting sun into
calm sea dipped
did Jesus' soul
come to Mary.
Like communion
chalice sipped
Like the river oer
fallsbrim lipped
Like dewdrop out
of buttercup dripped
was Jesus' soul
born of Mary.
(to Nancy M Wilson)
(S Everett told us that there is an ocean of deep blue light which
immerses the entire Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington
DC. Nancy Wilson left for God in September of 2002.)
SUN MOON AND STARS
When we were children,
we thought
our father was the gold sun,
and our mother the silver moon.
Not til earth set and
turned away from his sun, did we see
she was all the diamond stars.
(to our mother )
JILL OUT OF BOX
She liked sometimes to go to early morning
mass... when she was not a jack in the box..
told to stand up sit down kneel down
stand up sit down kneel down
And she was brave enough this weekend
to tell a man at the evangelical
gathering.. she no longer wanted
to be part of a flock of female
flamingoes..
or of sheep..
obediently following a hierarchical
male pastor..
She preferred alone
with God to confer
or in a circle of women
and men to concur
HEAD COVERING
Is it not odd
that in the holy temples
and mosques
head covering is donned..
while in churches
& chapels it is doffed?
Yet few change their hats
when they enter
the sacred ground
of Mother Earth
.. in spring greengowned
.. or in fall
when her leaves she
has offed
...........................
(The Course In Miracles: the holiest ground is that in which
2 former foes reconcile
Paul's injunction that women cover their heads in church is still
a cause of controversy.. though his intention was perhaps that beauty
not distract others from worship)
FIRE IN THEIR EYES
She could see
by the new fire
in their eyes
that she had lit
their souls
.. and yet
had not diminished
her own flame
(to Betty Friedan)
A 947 lb. pumpkin had been grown by a Smithville Ohio Carnegie
student 2 years ago and replaced by an 1100 lb. record breaker. God's
fruit yields 450,000 or more lbs. per acre.
http://www.acorn.net/fruitarian
http://www.egroups.com/messages/fruitarians not meant as an
endorsement of male oriented fairy tales but as an affirmation of the
infinite love within and around all beings
WOMEN INHERIT THE EARTH
The meek and women
shall inherit the earth
.. as macho male bodies
lie in the dirt..
while their souls have
gone to meet
the Maker of the Meek
(Men live longer on vegan diet Men live longer when doing work they
love. Most heart attacks occur on Monday morning as people go to jobs
they hate.)
GOD'S MAJORITY
Though her
inner voice
is only one..
by most a definite
minority
.. because
she is connected
to God
it ever is
God's majority
Though her sisters
around the world
sometimes feel
disempowered..
it is good to
remind each other
.. that we are
God's Majority
EVE RISING
Was it when Adam fell
or Eve fell
that
Eden fell
on a summer's eve?
Who knows?
but this we can tell
..
the bright moon
is on the horizon
and her
goddess Eve is Rising!!!
Fr Ron Lengwin of KDKA Radio: the apple was the heart of the first butchered animal
FELIX HELIX!
Eureka! Felix!
It's a helix!
to Rosalind Franklin whose research along with that of Linus Pauling
gave Watson and Crick crucial clues in their DNA discovery race
JEWISH WOMEN'S CAUCUS BOYCOTT OF MOSES
Before his death, her husband was sitting in the tub
musing one day.. and said "My wife organized the Jewish
Women's Caucus Boycott of Moses".. a few minutes went
by then.. "Wait! I am receiving a correction..! My wife
was the very last woman to join the boycott!"
Years went by.. and she wondered what he meant..
and began to realize that she was a latecomer to the women's rights
movement.. not having considered it as high a priority.. for she had
been saturated in love and empowerment by her parents And then came
the realization that she had wimped out on Vanessa Redgrave.. who was
ostracized for supporting a Palestinian state.
INVISIBLE WOMAN
More subtle is invisible
Unseen greater than the seen
High notes are soft but higher go
Jesus washed His disciples' feet.
Yond ego's pale
she left no tracks
Turned so fast she
seemed not to move.
The child in man
do women feed
for what is it
love has to prove
Who is the prime minister of love?
Who the president of caring?
Who the chief exec of Kind?
Who the highest head of sharing?
Male pyramids melt
in female fire.
Mens' skyscrapers stop
where women's sky begins.
Who advertise
the soul in their eyes?
Who do anonymous saints
immortalize?
Some day master learns
the faithful servant
was his guru..
Male foam wake of ocean liner
riding on a female sea.
Male speech echoes
in mate's silence
Soundless quiet which
holds all beings
©to Constantina Salamone of World Women For Animal Rights in
Brooklyn.. who coined the word speciesism and ecofeminist as she
built a network of 15,000 ecofeminists worldwide.. She passed out in
Manhattan in 1970.. pamphlets on women animals.. the vast majority of
abused animals.. whose milk and eggs are stolen ..She is an artist,
mountainclimber, and uncontainable mystic http://www.eggcruelty.com

http://www.wfad.org http://www.meatout.com This poem is not meant as
an attack on the millions of sensitive men in the world.. Those who
believe in reincarnation often believe that we switch from one gender
to another, life after life, as we attempt to reach perfect balance
between our own yin and yang
TOMATO VINE
The tomato stake
was proud that
he was stable
.. upright disciplined
and able
.. but it was the
weak spineless tomato vine
who provided
all the food for the table
**********
Course In Miracles: paraphrased.. At a certain point God will ask you
to abandon rigid schedules.. to be more flexible to the calls of

**************
MOON IN MIDST OF STARS
The harem man was a moon
surrounded by stars..
a moon because constant
preoccupation with the senses
had turned him into
the woman upon whom he focused
.. surrounded by stars.. harem
members
seemingly smaller in stature
but in actuality of much
greater spiritual size and light
PUMPKIN VINE DESCENSIONS
Nightly to heaven
their souls' ascension
To Heart Thrones,
heart queens' accessions
To lower boughs,
laden fruit trees' recessions.
To Earth Hearth
Pumpkin Vines' decensions
Now comes the Spirit
who frees
all women
from pumpkin shells
Now comes the Spirit
who liberates
women from sexist
Cinderelle.
to Constantina Salamone, builder of a
network of over 15,000 ecofeminists.. who has written
extensively on the semantics of human chauvinism
KWON YIN
She was Kwon Yin,
a divine mother of mercy
.. but when she had to,
she could also be Kwon Yang.
(to Jan F, Jan B, Jan E
JBO and JP)
EVE
As sun sets and in quiet
eve drops
a gentle rain now from
the eaves drops
Angels unbidden on Eve's soul
eavesdrop
rejoicing as guilt
finally... Eve drops
(the Sanskrit advaita theory of nonduality
as well as the unified theory of physics
.. say that God is the only Doer)
PEWS AND QUEUES
Women sat sheeplike
listening to men from pews
Women as slaves
for men's orders did queue
.. for the jails of pews
and queues
were our minded p's and q's..
Here and there we began
to gather clues
until from millenial
sleep .. out of the blue
we were awakened
by dawning freedom's
trumpet cue
STONE CHURCH
A stone church
of many chambers
in it at night
glow many lights amber
.. like an ossified
hierarchy...
whose laity
brings light
WALLFLOWERS
No more wallflowers..
no more women with quietly
broken hearts..
as they are passed by
at dances..
Women are freed
and women have..
the day seized
BAGLADIES
Why are bagmen
considered money carriers
while against bagladies
are erected barriers?
GODDESS OF THE SUN
The goddess of the sun
says goodnight
slipping away
behind her fan of rays
but in the morn she
comes our way
.. making rainbows of
crashing wave spray
MAGDALENE
No longer involved
in polyandry..
... her aura turned
all into Polyanna's
HEMLOCK
Socrates was killed by
the state with hemlock
... so many Greek men
then
did women's hems lock
.. did consign them
to domestic slavery
COMPLEX
The issues of sex
of gay
or straight
concave or convex
... have millions
of factors..
they're very complex
GOD'S SUN IN SIDE
EVERYONE
God has every
being with sanctity
anointed
not just those
in yoga double jointed
not just those by
male hierarchs
appointed
ARMAGEDDON OF AGAMEMNON
As the Armageddon
of Agamemnon
came through Helen
whom he had ravaged..
so will the Armageddon
of the violent men
who wage war
on this planet..
come from the hands of the billions
of women
they have abused, dominated, silenced.
Women will be more merciful
than the violent men they dethrone.
POWER AND BEAUTY
most statues are of warmongering
old men..
most pornography is of young women..
inflexible ancient stone..
.. rigid power seeking to violate
is beaten by concord
.. now new green ivy leaves
.. have conquered.
ANNE PERRY
As in the hive only the queen
had rights and all the other
women were slaves,
English law was kind to the queen
but other women had no recourse
when married to knaves.
(to Anne Perry whose book Bethlehem
Road details a litany of horrors
in the law)
NIGHT RESURRECTION
Resurrection is compared
to the sun's morning light
but yin sleep as well
has healed.. throughout the night.
DISTILLATION OF POETRY
While the nights are very still
the vine continues to distil
Then the days makes ripe
grape thoughts
Soon purple liquid poems outspill.

5 SHORT POEMS TO WOMEN
Eve Angel does never
evangelize..
but who can ever hide
the Godlove in her eyes
*
Every year Edith became less
and less rooster-pecked
*
She was not one to face the world
with lips pursed and tightly grabbed purse
*
He called her a clinging vine, did the
garden stake stable...
but it was she, the tomato vine, who
put all the food on the table.
The purple light which flows from
her ilght and hands has swirled around
her, folding into the swaddling
of the Divine Child
-saiom shriver-

Eve Angel is to EKB, who has attracted a husband of similar compassion and will
Not rooster pecked is to Jean Stapleton of All in the Family who enkindled
Edith Bunker
Tomato Vine is to all battered women and all the anonymous
angels who serve them
Purple light is to Karuna Anderson who has never passed a suffering animal by
