Summary:Not a pity piece.. not a 'my man done left me so therefore life is a noose and choking me slowly" :)
My story is the story of millions of children whether a girl or boy .. and one can get so mired in it they suffocate but do not die.
I believe my story is a 'a walk in the park' compared to the true horrors out there..
BUT.. having said that? This is for all the silent voices that continue to grow and how I wish I could somehow write the words to prevent abuse if heard by an abuser.. or thought of abusing.. The damage done.. And perhaps a slight encouragement for vigilance when something doesn't feel right?Chapters: |

Summary:This is the first poem I have written since I've struggled with health. I am emotional. I couldn't even edit this poem.
It addresses the recent Homicide in Florida. I still look ahead to the day when this madness will end. I didn't have the strength to edit this poem. I wouldn't wish such a tragedy on anyone of any race or nationality or sexual orientation.Chapters: |

Summary:(NOTE: this is not pretending to be a poem, but as an "editorial" the poetry column is where the site places such writing.) ---- In reading the New York Times scathing indictment of human rights violations: “In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad” one has to challenge one’s own willingness to prioritize life over “stuff.”
