Contagious Courage
Prehistoric people built sound
Soaring singing communities
In the age of dinosaurs
Shrieks & slaps
Warnings to crescendo
Falling into unknown realms
Dangerous beautiful giants
Walked along side
All of them stepped into eternity
Grunt Growl Grow
Into a new colony of
Imagined dangers
To extinction to civilization
Prompting re-creation to
Unimagined human evolution
We stand at a new precipice
Brought about by fear
Illusions of dangerous freedoms
Controlled authoritarianism says
The People can’t handle love
Inclusion and self determination
But we can
We will
We shall overcome their control
Brothers and sisters
Evolution of human
Consciousness springs from this chaos
Together we resist
Together we change the course
We the people can
Some Woolley History
Our woven wills taken by trillions
We the great care
Together we wear
Democracy
Our historical garment
Now a torn commitment
Mended in seventeen eight eight
Persevering more than a hundred years
Of freedom
A broken test by our own will
Raining authoritarian reign
Human of no being
Ruthless and stained
Signaled to a collective destiny
Mended by another will
That is and is not of choice
Washed through a steady optimism
That keeps taking sunny dreams
Tested torn and interwoven
As we remember history
Happening to that good hope
That right and important care
Alternating from our own mothers
And the silencing of our forefathers
Sanity Calling
We are our own saviour
Mergers of cultural eth-ni-cities
America’s diversity and inclusion is real
Retreat from this American cartel
Take what matters most to you
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid
For the first time in my life
I have a stable income
What a joy to work
In real property sales
Without commission as my goal
Just do a good job because I can
Take back what matters most to you
Broken and thrashed public agencies
Detained immigrants shouting S.O.S.
Defied constitution & courts
Help was on its way to Gaza when
We supported humanitarian aide
American complicity in starving
Two million people found guilty
In war crimes, Palestinian children die
Stop dumbing down America
Leave public radio
And free press alone
Laws to curb climate upheaval
Scientists & lifesaving research
Unfunded
Stifled law firms
Far right religious christianity
Sexual singularity
LGBTQ my people’s freedom
International tariffed turmoil
USA leaders gain from inside trading
What’s your biggest heart ache
In the midst of this corruption?
Silence or intelligent action will prevail
Let us take a radical stance against
power, domination & meanness
Poetry’s portal to truth & kindness
Can shed abundant light
on fascist states of affairs everywhere
Poets prerequisites for reason
