Gia Civerolo


war: people vs. nature
*pomo haiku


The battlefield was


                quiet.  People cheered loudly!


                                The torn meadow cried.



*pomo:  post modern




acrostic people


“Patriotarcle Ignorance” is what I hear in streets, stages & bar corners

Each story I meet, hearts bloom with fairy lights fluttering stars strings

Opening blackness sprinkling silver on flesh & sky glimmering glitter

Peeking star eyes over and over again and again star hearts

Leaking laughs, heartache, empathy, breaking love

Eyes bright with light bleeding magic souls

 



ballad of a revolution


The revolution is televised by all the wrong sides

Lies slip out of slick, silver, snake tongues

Their cries through eternity “We must conquer & divide”

Betraying morality easily, breathe through their lungs


The history of the revolution is not recorded in books

People preaching, educating, protesting in the street

They placed a king who is really just a common crook

They took away choice making women seem obsolete


Jails filled with too many colors for lesser crimes

“I still believe people are good at heart.”  said Ann Frank

My heart broken my kid’s generation only knows decline

Revolution spark by one standing in front of a moving tank


Shout from high places, believe no one does it all alone

The revolution must come from very deep veins within

Now we must topple politics melting down all gold thrones

Have Faith walls will tumble and crumble just like Berlin
