Anxiety

 Sometimes I walk closer

to New York City buildings,

so I’m not alone

 

 

I need a human

Not just anyone will do.

Comforters like me.

Yes, it’s Super Broke!

Super Broke

saves what he can

which saves the day someday!

Intriguing adapting!

 

Oh my gosh,

he gave away his secret identity,

the guy working at the deli,

behind the counter

when the shopper asked for a loan!

“I’m Super Broke!”

believing in truth justice

and the American dream!

 

Super Broke

willing to fight

He’s the one who speaks up

no matter who objects.

 

He can’t fly,

he’s going to amount to something!

He knows responsibility

balancing his budgets

and coming to his own rescue!

It’s Super Broke!

He never makes enough- but

he knows he is enough!

 

Super Broke

finding free pleasures,

and when the car breaks down

he rides early bus to town!

 

Poverty

the system built by people struggling

from cotton to textile mills,

rags to riches, do the dishes

and cooking up peoples wishes.

It’s Super Broke!

A true protagonist

defines antagonists!

 

 

Super Broke

who loves to help

and eats what he affords…..

mmmm-hmmm -- looks good in tights!

Yes!!! It’s Super Broke!

 

Our Mother's Prayer

(RESPECT, the movie and me)

 

That was the scene

at the piano

Jennifer Hudson as Aretha

and Audra McDonald her mother

From beyond.

 

 

Aretha was

A natural mom

To Jennifer and music girls

I think of the roles my mom played with me

I had needs.

 

 

Sometimes darkness

replaces losses

When we couldn’t mother our hurters

the folks we wanted as our special friends

were dead ends

Read All About It

"You treat your pets special"

Says the dude w the big muscles

Held the door open

"I like you lady,

You mind your own business

Yes oh yes oh yes."

 

OH NO! I don’t

Whatever happened to truth telling

And "If you see something, say something"

But now folks aren’t living it

so many so apathetic?

 

Oh he was so beautiful

His biceps, triceps visual

I pointed next door

Some things I won’t ignore

He flexed and then he hissed

"Yes oh yes oh yes"

 

no way, jose

Whatever happened to truth telling

And "If you see something, say something"

But now folks aren’t living it

so many so apathetic?

 

 Said he knew all about it

And told me to forget it.

Said not to speak up

He’s someone that’s xo tough

"Stay safe," he punched with snickers

Yes oh yes oh yes

 

Oh yes, siree, ! I’m saying it

‘cause I see it!

Next door to me

Where these ladies

Show cruelty

Animal neglecting

Bullying, abusing,

then lying.

So here’s me preaching

And saying what I’m seeing

Won’t you join me

In seeing and saying!?

 

Time to wake up

It’s time we all bring back truth telling

And "If you see something, say something"

cause now folks need to say it

and stop being so apathetic!

Firecrackers

 

UnAmerican!

Your Made in India Bombs

hates Cats, Dogs, Veterans!

 

Spewing pandemic-

crazies, unpatriotic

bang bang bangs no brain just sick
