where Art touches Poetry and puts the united states literary world to shame! 

Just a Poet; Never just!

       by: Jackie Aher

 

 

     i heard his refrain when the signal changed he was playing real good, for free. joni mitchell ...Hallelujah. Leonard Cohen

                             

"I cry my Poet Tears across all my country's Greed andHate!"

 

any other name for trump is white

 

my country

my country

what has become of thee

of our children

who is left to educate them

when their state no longer

cares…dares

the people our people are not

just made up of old white men

our people our beautiful people

are black, spanish, asian

every shade of beauty

what has happened to our middle class

who now pay their mortgage, barely

in taxes to a president

an old white rich man

with dementia

a so called man

a grifter, golfer

and a hater of all things

poor

and all you fools voted for him

in fear of a black woman

ENJOY!

dust bowl blues

 

face down in the

dust covered dreams

sunlit skies

covered in lies

tears fall from eyes

as only laughter

standing before the walls

walls of delusion torn

daring to wash in

disbelief

till your skin is raw

before dawn

 

child of light

colors dance in her head

in a dream

dark dust drifts down

black is light

light dwells

the deepest dark

child of night

emptiness without echo

where between the stars

if i reach

where dares a child

to believe

to see

to be

quietly before dawn

where dreams dare dance

where freedom as whispers
