The Fury of the Fragile
In The Fury of the Fragile, the clash between compassion and cruelty takes center stage. Inspired by Rev. Megan Budde’s call for mercy and Donald Trump’s harsh dismissal of it, this poem wants to explore the tension between empathy and rage. It paints a portrait of a leader who wields words as weapons but crumbles when confronted with the very kindness he scorns.

Silent Witness
A haunting reflection on complicity and silence, Silent Witness tries to capture the slow erosion of solidarity in the face of oppression. With each passing stanza, the weight of inaction grows heavier—until it is too late.
They came in the night, but I turned away,
Not my fight, not my place to say.
One by one, they vanished unseen,
Yet I stood still, my hands kept clean.
When the knoc...

Puppets of Greed
This poem critiques a presidency shaped by selfishness, revenge, and the influence of tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos et al. Rather than adhering to constitutional values, Trump’s cabinet is filled not only with power-hungry opportunists and morons seeking their own gain, but also with those who are completely devoted to him—almost god-like in their loyalty. These ind...

Voices For The Just
The tide is rising with corrosive lies,
Where ignorance and rage entwine in dark disguise.
Unmoored from truth, they shout and blind the mind,
And reason, silenced, falters, left behind.
Young hearts, unshielded, gripped by twisted creed,
Through platforms pulsing with a poisoned feed,
Fall prey to rhetoric of scorn and spite,
As venom fills the streams and taints the nig...

Resistant News
Written in March 2022 in response to Simon Armitage's 'Resistance'
We watch
the News
unable
to comprehend
the horror that is war:
we see
destruction... death... weeping...
children who do not understand
held in the arms of mothers
who do not understand

Music in me.
Music floats
Through my veins,
Brings me back to
What I am.
I sing and sing again
To kill the silence outside.
My songs, directly from my heart,
My hard chords,
A resistance
Of all what's forbidden.
My passion resists
In the middle of sounds
And chaos.

Rose Colored Reality
Too much reality
can burn a hole
through your soul.
I prefer to temper it
with rose colored glasses,
as you know.
With my glasses on
I can see past the ego
to the wounds at
war within.
I can see that the
past, present, and
future are all
an illusion...
created for one purpose
to tell the story
of how we want to
show up in this world.
I can see beyond
resistance,...

Domestosterone
I’m tougher than a brave marine,
in hard-worn battle gear,
all decked out in camouflage.
There’s nothing that I fear.
You may have taken all my mates,
but they were old and weak,
you’ve never met a foe like me -
I’m tough as fucking teak.
I laugh at all your vain attempts
to seek out and destroy,
for when I’m in my element
